A good friend here mentioned this beautiful song in my earlier Cats In The Cradle diary. 

Anak (The Child) is a Philipino song by folk singer Freddie Aquilar. This song was one of the finalist in the 1977 Metropop Song Festival held in Manila and it went on to become a worldwide hit song. There were hundreds of covers and performed in 58 countries and in 26 different languages.

Similar to Cats In The Cradle. Anak is a song about family values. A story about Freddie Aguilar himself. As of 2006, Anak is still the best selling song in Philippine.
