Trivia The Story Behind The Di Na Muli MTV.

[PHC_Taong-BATO]

Itchyworms' award-winning song Di Na Muli is a song that catches your emotions everytime you hear it. You can feel the emotions surging, the love, and painfully the regret. When the MTV of this song was released, a lot was touched by the sequence, and that lady in the CCP Complex who danced her way out in such a graceful and heartfelt manner. But, who is she? Is there really a story behind that MTV?
In fact there is. The lady featured in the MTV is Rosky Balahadia Hilado, widow of the late Teodoro “Teddy” Hilado, whom the MTV was dedicated to. Rosky was one of the principal dancers in CCP back then, and Teddy was the first Technical and Lighting Director of the CCP and the Bayanihan Dance Group, where they met each other. Teddy designed the lights over the stages where Rosky performed.
Teddy died in 2015. The Music Video was taped in the CCP a year after in 2016 closely in his first Death Anniversary. Rosky returned to the stage more than 20 years after and reminisce the old days. Rosky in the MTV was all natural reactions, how she smiled, how she cried, and how dhe danced were caused by the Nostalgia of the good old days, all real emotions.
To quote Juno Oebanda when he was giving instructions to Ms Rosky for the final part of the shoot "TIta this last sequence is where you will dance with Tito Teddy, dance with the light Tita, dance with Tito Teddy”. And the outcome gave people goosebumps. The dance was all natural, and emotion-filled. And for the lighting of that last part, it was executed by Shakira Villa Symes who was once mentored by none other than Teddy himself.
Di Na Muli is a masterpiece as I called it, but the thoughts given in producing the MTV were something else. The song deserved such a powerful MTV, and they didn't fail to deliver. The MTV is still available in YøùTùbé, if you havent watch it yet, or if you want to experience the goosebumps again the first time you watched it.

Binubulong ko sa sarili,
