Philippines' King of Love Songs "Balatkayo lahat and buhay sa mundo. Nakangiti kahit hindi totoo. Magandang bulaklak and s'yang katulad mo ngunit pag lapit ko'y walang bango" The lines above are from the classic love song entitled Balatkayo composed by the Philippines' King of Love Songs, Anthony Castelo. A truly accomplished international artist, Anthony is a genuinely caring and loving human being who has lived to make a difference in the world he lives in. Despite a long list of gold records, sold out concerts and outstanding performances, he has not been dazzled by show business. He has always had an innate charitable interest in others.
Born in the Philippines, Anthony has a unique mix of Filipino and Portuguese/Spanish ancestry. He studied in LA and it was there, while in his teens, that he began his music career, joining the world famous choral group The Young Americans.
Anthony's success as a solo artist has been nothing short of remarkable. His songs quickly hit the charts and Castelo was dubbed the "Philippines' King of Love Songs." He has earned numerous awards for his music; among them were the ALIW and CECIL Awards (the Philippines version of the Grammy Award). In addition to music , Anthony has also starred in several hit movies together with the Philippines' finest actors.
His 1982 Movie of the Year Pakawalan Mo Ako, garnered him a nomination for the FAMAS Award. And the rest is history!!! Anthony's name is etched in the Philippines' history of music and entertainment as one of the best.
It's not only in the Philippines that Anthony has been recognised for using his talents to help organisations such as the International Red Cross, the March of Dimes and other humanitarian institutions whileliving in the US. After the 9/11 terrorists' attack, he composed the song, Long Live America, which he presented to then President George W. Bush.
