Aaminin ko po, hindi ako masyadong magaling mag-internalize kapag heartbroken songs. Kailangan mo talagang manood ng Netflix para magkaroon ng idea paano masaktan,” Bonaobra said.</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>“Hindi mo kailangan maranasan ang isang bagay para magkaroon ka ng idea paano ko siya maramdaman.”</p><p>Saturno, alongside the singer’s talent agency RJA Productions, is hoping that “Kahit ‘Di Totoo” would be Alisah’s hit song that will catapult the singer among his “living trophies” such as Martin Nievera with “Be My Lady”, Jessa Zaragoza with “Bakit Pa?”, and Jay R with &quot;Bakit Pa Ba?”</p><p>“Underrated si Alisah. After &#x27;The Voice&#x27; ang dami niyang achievements, which is sabi ko nga kailangan lang ng babaeng ito isang kanta para lumipad. Ang pinaka-passes ng isang artist sa music industry ay isang hit song. If you have a signature song, you are in, in the music industry, Saturno said. </p><p>Meanwhile, Bonaobra said she felt blessed to have been given the opportunity to sing a Saturno composition. </p><p>“I feel very blessed po na I was given the opportunity to interpret a composition by sir Vehnee.
