I just knew in my heart, the combination of these two very gifted and talented artists is going to be absolutely magical! And as expected, Alisah did a beautiful rendition with the help, guidance and recording supervision of vocal coach, Arnie Mendaros,” Azarcon said in a statement.</p><p>This is not the first time that Azarcon allowed Bonaobra to sing her composition.</p><p>Bonaobra&#x27;s song “Faithful,” was also composed by Azarcon. It won Best Inspirational Song in the 43rd Catholic Mass Media Awards. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/11/24/20/alisah-bonaobra-records-new-song-by-opm-icon-cecile-azarcon">Alisah Bonaobra records new song by OPM icon Cecile Azarcon</a></li></ul><p>If given a chance, Bonaobra is hoping to release an album which will feature all the songs of Azarcon, who is behind several OPM classics like Kuh Ledesma’s “I Think I’m In Love,” Chiqui Pineda’s “How Did You Know,” and Basil Valdez&#x27;s &quot;Sana Ay Ikaw Na Nga.&quot; </p><p>Azarcon is now living in the San Francisco Bay area.</p><p>Currently, aside from singing engagements, Bonaobra and Myko Manago is hosting online show “Winner Ka Sa RJA” which is streamed every Wednesday. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/07/10/21/the-voice-ph-finalist-alisah-hopes-new-single-turns-out-to-be-her-signature-song">‘The Voice PH’ finalist Alisah hopes new single turns out to be her signature song</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/03/19/21/alisah-bonaobra-myko-maago-release-duet-pangako">Alisah Bonaobra, Myko Mañago release duet &#x27;Pangako&#x27;</a></li></ul><div><strong> Related video:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I6qlSmPMbmY?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
