This song became her entry at the second Metropop Song Festival in 1979, where she did not win the top prize but went on to represent the Philippines at the fourth Asian Singing Competition in Hong Kong. Despite skeptics claiming that singing in Tagalog would hinder her chances of winning, Dulce stuck to her roots and delivered a heartfelt performance that earned her the grand prize.
Reflecting on her early days in the industry, Dulce shared a story about a ban imposed on her by recording executives in the early ’80s. They labeled her as hard-headed and rebellious because she refused to undergo cosmetic surgery. Despite the pressure to conform to industry standards, Dulce remained true to herself and her beliefs, showcasing her strength of character and unwavering principles.
Dulce’s vocal talent is undeniable, with a distinct power that captivates audiences. Surprisingly, she admitted to having no formal vocal training or techniques. She simply sings from the heart, letting her voice express the emotions and stories behind each song.
Growing up in Villa Bulsita, Pardo, Cebu, Dulce’s journey to success was not without challenges. She recalled her humble beginnings, practicing her singing on a guava tree or the roof of her house, away from the distractions of modern technology. This raw passion and dedication to her craft shaped Dulce into the powerhouse vocalist she is today.
One of Dulce’s biggest hits, Paano, resonated with audiences, but it was Ako ang Nasawi, Ako ang Nagwagi that truly showcased her vocal prowess and emotional depth. When asked about the most important lesson she learned in love, Dulce emphasized the value of giving your all in a relationship. Despite any heartbreak or misfortune, she believes in moving forward with life and embracing new beginnings.
In terms of relationships, Dulce advises her children to take their time and pray for the right partner. She shares her own experiences of falling deeply in love and the challenges of being the sole provider for her family. With five children to raise, Dulce understands the importance of strength and resilience, especially in times of hardship.
As for her own heart, Dulce humorously remarked that she has found solace in her faith and has no desire for a romantic relationship at this stage in her life. She jokingly expressed, “parang tama na. Kapoy na uy,” signaling her contentment with where she is currently.
Dulce’s story is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and staying true to oneself in the face of adversity. Her unwavering spirit and dedication to her craft have solidified her status as a music icon in the Philippines.
