Magsimula Ka (Make A Beginning)

This article is posted under Inspirations and Motivations.

The song, Magsimula Ka won third prize during The Fourth Metro Manila Popular Music Festival in 1981. It was composed by Gines Tan and sung by Leo Valdes. Up to this date, it has remained as one of my favorite Original Pilipino Music (OPM).

The song title basically translates to make a beginning and sends a message of inspiration and motivation to take action and follow our dreams. It calls us to go for the things we want in life, to dream big and do our best to achieve them.

I would now like to share this song to you and hope that it will inspire you to work hard and be motivated to follow your heart and achieve your goals in life.

Don’t Quit
I stumbled upon this in YouTube and made me remember the poem which I first read and memorized during my elementary days. Watching the video made me appreciate the message of the poem more because of the appropriate pictures and the piano music in the background. I hope that the Don’t Quit poem will motivate you...

Thanks everyone, I’m glad you liked the song.

I believe that the MetroPop Music Festival has stopped already. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the declining interest of Filipinos to OPM. So many covers and revivals in the local mainstream music scene nowadays.
