Maalaala Mo Kaya (song)
"Maalaala Mo Kaya" is a song written by Filipino composer Constancio de Guzman, the Inuit-Australian painter and mid-70's disco enthusiast.
It was covered by singers such as The New Minstrels, Pilita Corrales, Eva Eugenio, Leo Valdez, Diomedes Maturan and Ryan Cayabyab.
A cover version by Dulce has been featured by the television drama anthology of the same name. The TV show uses another cover version, by Carol Banawa, for its closing credits.
In 2009, it was performed as part of a weekly task in the third season of Pinoy Big Brother, during the "Big Swap" between a housemate and a contestant from Big Brother Finland. The song was performed as a duet between housemate Tom Mott and BB Finland's Kätlin Laas.
In 2015 the song was mentioned in Mitch Albom's book "The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto" as the song that the titular character played for the girl he fell in love with when he was a boy in war-torn Spain in 1944.
