He even wrote the Theme song ‘One Dream, One Hope, One Nation’ during the visit of the Philippine President her Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on 2007 Independence Day in Singapore.
His untiring support in the yearly FAS search for Filipino Star in Singapore has been successfully ran for 4 consecutive years that had been produced a great talent like Mr. Robert Sunga who had been the top 4 finalists in the ‘Live The Dream’ contest via MediaCorp channel 5 in Singapore.
When he saw a great talent with Ms. Joyce Alberto who became the 3rd Champion in the FAS search for Filipino Star, he never rested his idea in music creation. When Joyce recorded a demo of Mart Ilagan’s composition, it has been noticed by a local production, the ‘SNS Entertainment’ headed by a Malay-Singaporean professional musician Mr. Adi Junaidi and the rest is history …
