'Kita Kita' theme song is Billboard PHL's new No. 1 song

-


KZ Tandingan's cover version of "Two Less Lonely People In the World" has dislodged Inigo Pascual's "Dahil Sa'Yo" for the most popular OPM song in the land, according to Billboard Philippines chart's latest tally.

Tandingan's version which was originally done by Air Supply in 1982 is the theme song of the blockbuster movie "Kita Kita" starring Alessandra de Rossi and Empoy Marquez whose independent film has already grossed more than P300 million in box-office.

Inigo's song spent 10 weeks at the summit since the Billboard Philippines chart debuted in the country this year.


Erickson Raymundo, President of Cornerstone and Spring Films Production, also thanked those who supported the romantic-comedy film.

"300 MILLION na ang Kita Kita! May himala! Totoong may himala! Naramdaman at kitang kita namin ang himala," said Raymundo on Instagram recently.

"Honestly our faith goal was to make 60-80 Million but if our movie will just hit 30 Million at the box office, we will still be happy.


"From 2 Million gross on our first day to 300 Million on our 3rd week, I dont how how you call it but for me it's definitely a miracle.

" 'Kita Kita' is now the highest-grossing independently produced movie in the Philippines. Maraming salamat Kabayan! Maraming salamat Panginoon," said Raymundo.

Shot in Sapporo, Japan for P10 million, the movie shot has overtaken "Heneral Luna" as the biggest-earning independent movie in the Philippines.


Raymundo also praised de Rossi and Marquez who are both Cornerstone artists.

"Aside from the overwhelming performance of Kita Kita in the box office, I am doubly proud of this film because the two stars, Alessandra and Empoy, are also Cornerstone artists.

"These underrated actors have been around for more than a decade and their time to shine has finally come. Sometimes we just have to be patient because some good things take time," added Raymundo on IG. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

"Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
