Gary Valenciano shares the story and personal meaning behind the OFW anthem 'Babalik Ka Rin'
Babalik Ka Rin, once the theme song of Duty Free Philippines, was originally meant to be a ballad but was given a unique Filipino folk sound with kulintang and other traditional instruments inspired by Edru Abraham's music.
Gary Valenciano shared stories of OFWs, including a tearful couple in Houston who said the song reminded them of leaving and missing home.
Gary Valenciano turned down a potential US career to remain in the Philippines with his children, saying family came first.
