Soundtrack

The accompanying soundtrack album to the film was released on July 24, 1998 by Star Music, a month before the official theatrical release of the film itself.[3] Mid August, the album was awarded with a gold record certification, few weeks before the film debuted in theaters, and was expected to reach at least a platinum record.[3] Eventually, it was awarded with a 2x platinum certification from the Philippine Association of the Record Industry on May 20, 1999.[4] The album is considered as one of the most popular soundtrack albums in the Philippines spawning such radio hits as the Jolina Magdangal-original "Kapag Ako Ay Nagmahal" and boy band Jeremiah's "Naghihinayang".[5]

gollark: I mean, strictly speaking it *is* still around and being updated, but you know.

gollark: Yep.

gollark: Ah, the difficulties in combining balance and realism...
