MANILA, Philippines – "Star Power's" grand winner Angeline Quinto shared her excitement as she was chosen to do the theme song of ABS-CBN's remake of Mexican hit series "Maria La del Barrio."
The song "Patuloy Ang Pangarap," which is included in her self-titled album, was chosen as the theme song for Erich Gonzales's and Enchong Dee's upcoming series.
"Bali yung 'Patuloy ang Pangarap' ay isa sa theme song ng Maria La del Barrio. Natuwa talaga ako kasi noong narinig ko yon, akala ko hindi ako. Akala ko may ibang kumanta ng 'Patuloy Ang Pangarap' kaya tuwang-tuwa ako na ginamit po yon," Quinto said.
"Patuloy ang Pangarap," composed by Jonathan Manalo, was the winning piece of Quinto in "Star Power."
The new "Maria La del Barrio" will be played by Gonzales. The series tells the story of María, a scavenger who will fall in love with a rich guy, Fernando.
Dee will play the role of Fernando.
The Mexican "Maria la del Barrio" was originally aired from 1995 to 1996. It starred popular Mexican actors Thalia and Fernando Colunga.(abs-cbnnews)
