Para makapunta ka doon, kailangan mo siyang gawin nang gawin. Sumulat ka nang sumulat,” Manalo previously told ABS-CBN News. “Sa 100 songs na nagawa mo, merong isang mag-hi-hit diyan. Ganu’n &#x27;yung process. I-hone mo ‘yung craft mo. Try to write a song every day, and you’ll get one hit in a year.”</p><p>“Ibig sabihin, ‘yung mga taong nakikita niyo, ‘Wow, may hit sila.’ ‘Yung work na nangyari behind that, iyon ang hindi niyo nakita. Kailangang maraming beses kang matalo, bago ka manalo; o maraming beses kang mag-try bago ka maging successful. Importante ‘yung journey. Importante ‘yung perseverance.”</p><p>Related videos:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V36Bo6LstFw?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><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_ufKM-78NMI?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><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DZ8GeTSjUW4?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>
