This is a classic in the Philippine Music Industry and is considered one of the best OPM (Original Pinoy/Philippine Music). This has been used in some commercials in the country and is truly a beautiful and meaningful song. Apo Hiking Society is pure legend, I tell ya. 

A revival was done by the band MOONSTAR 88 so I included two videos for you to listen to/watch. I can't choose which is better since I really enjoy listening to old songs, but the revival isn't bad, it's actually stunning!
