03:18Benny Saturno!

03:19Benny Saturno!

03:20And you know what?

03:21I'm so thankful to Martin.

03:22Every time I see Benny

03:24without Be My Lady

03:25there will be no Martin.

03:27That's absolutely right.

03:29Of course my mom and dad

03:30had something to do with it.

03:32Something to do with it.

03:33Okay.

03:34We're talking about the songs, right?

03:35Where do you get your inspiration

03:38to make legendary songs?

03:40Yes!

03:41Who's the lady?

03:42Iconic!

03:43When you start

03:44and you don't have an apartment

03:46you don't have electricity

03:49so you have to work hard

03:50to write songs.

03:51And thank God

03:53I made it through

03:54and there are songs

03:56that are loved by the Filipino market.

04:00And until now

04:01you are immortalized

04:03because of those iconic songs.

04:05For those who don't know

04:06I've been a singer for 45 years

04:09and music production.

04:11Next year will be my 45th year

04:14and wait for it

04:15I have an explosion

04:16that I'm going to do.

04:17Yes!

04:18We'll talk about it later on.

04:19But why do you think

04:20it's part of the Filipino taste?

04:22What's the secret?

04:23Why is it part of the Filipino taste?

04:24It's simple.

04:25Vennie's song on the tour

04:26is like Adobo and Sinigang.

04:29Wow!

04:30The longer you have it

04:31the better, yes.

04:32Yes, yes.

04:33It's really delicious, right?

04:34Sir Vennie,

04:35we have a question.

04:36Of all the songs you made

04:38what's your favorite?

04:40Of course,

04:41there's no doubt

04:42it's Be My Lady.

04:43Why?

04:44Because that song

04:46gave me a path

04:48to become a local label.

04:51And at the same time

04:52this is the first major hit

04:54by Martin.

04:55Yes, thank you.

04:56And I'm so thankful

04:57that Martin Rivera sang it.

04:59Grateful

05:00because every time I see Vennie

05:02again, without Be My Lady

05:04there will be no Martin Rivera.

05:06But I wasn't the original singer.

05:08We have to give credit

05:09to the first singer

05:10Pedrito, right?

05:12Let's tell the story

05:13of Be My Lady.

05:14Yes, we'll talk about this.

05:15Be My Lady is part of MetroPOP.

05:17That was the 6th

05:18Metro Manila Popular Music Festival.

05:20The song was interpreted

05:21by Pedrito Montayre.

05:23The song was also recorded

05:25by Matt Monroe.

05:27And because of it,

05:29Chito heard it during the contest.

05:31Chito Ilagan of Vicor.

05:33And he gave it to Martin.

05:35And you won the grand prize.

05:36Yes, with Pain.

05:37A different song.

05:38Another story.

05:39Another interview.

05:40But thank you.

05:41And that song

05:42didn't make it to the contest.

05:44But because of Martin Rivera,

05:46it became a hit song.
