菲律宾传奇歌手Freddie Aguilar来自菲律宾南部民答那峨小城，他曾经很潦倒，过着乞丐一样的生活。在他最为潦倒的时候，他的孩子降临到这个世界上了。他把他的爱，他的彷徨，他的眼泪都写到了歌里。 1978年，Freddie Aguilar 以他自己用真情谱写的歌曲“Anak 孩子”，参加了马尼拉的第一届“大都会流行音乐节”歌唱大赛。
当时，他还是个名不见经传的歌坛新人。以当地语言演唱的这首歌，以扣人心弦的旋律，描述着父母对儿女的爱，引起了热烈的回响。不过，由于该项比赛强调的是符合当时流行风潮的作品，而这首充满民谣风味的歌曲显然与大会的要求有着相当大的差距，经过再三的考虑之后，评审团决定给他亚军。由于“Anak”所获得的成功，Freddie Aguilar不但忙碌于世界各国的演唱，更应邀前往美国，在洛杉矶灌录英语专辑“After Child”。 尽管销路还算不错，Freddie Aguilar不满于唱片公司另请所谓“名家”填词，而并没有忠实于他的创作本意。 于是，Freddie Aguilar亲自将“Anak”填上英语歌词的“Child”，忠实的呈现出他对于亲子关系的感叹.结果，正是因为这首Freddie Aguilar填写的英文歌词忠实原来的创作精神，从而打动了世界各地的人们。

When he entered the Metro Manila Popular Music Festival in 1978, Freddy Aguilar was almost completely unknown; within weeks he was possibly the best-known musician in Manila, and he has since consolidated that position to become the best known Filipino musician in the world. The song that took him to such great heights, heard for the first time at the 1978 competition, was Anak, a folk-rock ballad sung in the local tagalog language. It has since spawned 54 covers in 14 other languages. He subsequently enjoyed great hits with such singles as Magdalena and Bayan Ko. Prior to the release of Anak, Aguilar cut his teeth peforming cover songs and original material for U.S. military personnel stationed on the Islands. Never one to shy away from politics, he wrote several anti-Marcos songs, including Katarungang and his Bayan Ko became the theme song for Cory Aquinos anti-Marcos election campaign in 1986.
