Korina Interviews Rey Valera | April 9, 2023 

This is the only Korina Interviews episode that I actually shed tears. Even just a few lines that Rey sings brought so much memories of my youth in the Philippines. What a lovely man and I'm happy to say that I've met him in person once when he came to Hawaii for a concert. Mr. Rey Valera, thank you for your gift of music!

The best guest and the best interview Korina! So relaxing to hear Rey Valera's voice. Really like the combination of him singing and telling his story. What an admirable personality. So talented and yet so very humble.

Up to this moment super smooth pa rin ang boses ni Rey Valera. It brings tears of joy hearing him sing. OMG! Love him!

One of the BEST interviews of Ms Korina 🩷 My Rey Valera’s singing made me cry 😀 He is a very talented man. Thank you for your beautiful songs and music 💙💙💙

gifted Mr. Rey Valera yet very humble..grounded and simple

Best interview so far. There was actually a connection between Rey Valera and Korina Sanchez. I love that they both sang together. Power on Korina!

I love this interview! I enjoyed it! I can see Korina enjoyed it too… and yes, she can sing!!!Kudos Mr. R. Valera to all of your songs and masterpieces.

Rey Valera's voice hasn't changed at all. His voice is as beautiful as the songs he composed. Thank you Mr Valera for the timeless songs.

Ms. K has her sparkling eyes when singing her fav’rite song…. “Kung Maputi na ang buhok ku….” She is right , that song is the ultimate “National Anthem” of the Decade back then and still now ….. Mr. Rey V Is an Icon now and forever……

Reminiscent of HS. Beautiful love songs indeed! Rey is one of Philippines’ greatest composers

This is one of Korina's best interviews! I can see in her eyes how sincere and genuinely interested she was with her questions. Very spontaneous, brilliant at naitanong nya ang mga dapat itanong kay Rey Valera, and I am truly inspired by both of them. Korina is the most talented, beautiful, and unbeatable media personality in the Philippines. Napaka swerte ni Mar sa kanya!

Truly, music is the best medicine especially to a weepy soul. The epitome of your songs sir Rey is called LIFE. This is why it is timeless.

This is the best episode of Korina Interview that I watched with a true meaning of life

Grabe ang ganda nitong episode...kahit wala akong pinagdadaanan pero madami akong naalala ...mga masaya at malungkot na nangyari sa buhay ...you cant help to get emotional after watching this..salamat Idol Rey Valera at Miss K sa napaka inspiring na vlog...

Iba ang interview sa lahat ni Rey very touching,masaya,walang pag kukunwari.I salute to you Rey!!

Nice interview Ms. Korina! You blend so well. Masaya, nakaka kilig kanta pa rin ni Mr. Valere. Unique voice .

I remember watching a TV series when in the early 80s - Malayo pa ang umaga. Si Rey Valera pala kumanta. Wow, I love that song. It hits home for me. A little kindness goes a long way. Kindness is contagious.

Walang tatalo sa nag-iisang Rey Valera..sobrang ganda ng mga kanta, tagos sa puso lalo na yun Kahit Maputi na ang buhok ko, fave for all time.❤❤❤lahat nasa iisang kanta.❤

Walang pagtatalo .. Isa si Rey pinamagaling na composer& songwriter.. Rico J. Hajji A. NonoyZ. Basil V. Marco S.. at marami pang iba

I'm 60 y/o, I'm still listening to your music Mr Rey Valera here in abroad! Walang kasawa sawa paulit ulit!😄

❤ One of the greatest artists produced by Filipinos, is Mr.Rey Valera. This is one of the best and most inspiring interviews that I watched with Ms.Korina

Wow! Magaling din kumanta si Korina❤

I enjoyed this episode so much. Nakipag jamming with 2 of you guys. Rey Valera is one of the icons in the industry and is well loved by many. His songs will be remembered forever.

Ohh REY VALERA his unforgettable & heartfelt songs/music he's My favorites ..love it!

Mr Rey Valera is one of the no.1 na good writter and his voice is amazing..Mas magagaling sila kesa ngayon mga singers kasi hindi nakakasawa pakinggan mga songs ng 80s at 90s.Thank you Ms.Korina❤

Basta si pareng Rey Valera interview tinatapos ko hahaha..no dull moment

Ito ang tunog sa bahay habang lumalaki ako kasi yong mga kuya ko ay fan na fan ni sir Rey. Love namin mga kanta niya. Maraming salamat sa mga composition mo sir Rey.

I was so young when Rey Valera became famous, talagang puro kanta n'ya ang pinatutugtog sa radyo at may kapitbahay kami na may mga taxi at yun ang tugtog habang naglalaro ako sa kalye. 😅 favorite ko sa mga kanta nya noong bata ako at yung kinanta nyang "sumulat ako para malaman mo akoy nasasabik sayo" ano po ba ang title nun? Nasa Saudi kasi ang tatay ko noon, at palagi ako sumusulat sa kanya. At yung "malayo pa ang umaga" yan talaga yung naaalala ko ang aking kabataan. ❤

Classic talaga songs ni Rey Valera! Timeless. Sarap pakinggan! Napaka-talented niya!

Rey Valera is the best ICONIC OPM of all times💞, tatagos sa puso mo lahat na awitin nya💞. Meron akong VCD noon na concert nila Rico and Hadji na punong puno ng green jokes at nakatago pa sa akin💞. God bless u Mr Rey Valera 🙏🙏🙏

Hayysssstttt kkamis ang 80's gganda ng opm love songs no 1 rey valera❤❤❤❤

One of my favorite singer. Walang kupas ang galing ni Mr. Rey Valera. Thank you for the music Sir!!!!!!

The legend halos lahat ng kanta nya sumikat at sobrang ganda ng boses nya.👏👏👏

I love Rey Valera ever since ❤🥰🥰🥰

One of my favorite Filipino musicians is Rey. I was raised listening to his music, and the only song that ever brought tears to my eyes was "Malayo Pa Ang Umaga." It always brings back memories of the middle of the 1990s, when my luck was pretty bad and I had trouble finding work. In the hope that I would be recruited, I used to search for work by walking around Cavite's EPZAs (Export Processing Zones) from dawn until the afternoon with my cousin. That song also makes me think of other young Filipinos, like myself, who struggled to get by while looking for work in our generation, often going without lunch and barely having enough money for food. I was deeply moved by the song's lyrics to the point where I started to doubt God. Given that I come from a low-income household, I always prayed and hoped that God would finally bless me sufficiently, which He did.

This is one of the most vibrant interviews of Korina that I have seen. Rey Valera and his music made a very good content. It was brilliant that his music was interspersed with the commentaries about his life and works. It was impressive that Korina actually sings! Congratulations for a beautiful show!

My takeaways from this interview: 1. Rey is very humble 2. Kawawa ang mga song writers before the international copyright law was introduced sa Philippines 3. Salamat sa ABS-CBN for honoring Rey’s talents by paying him the right amount sa pag gamit ng mga kantang sinulat nya. Dahil dyan nakapagpatayo sya ng bahay. (Late ‘90s or year 2000 when he was able to build a house and to think that he was writing songs since the 70s and 80s 😢) 4. Kindness goes a long way.

D Gen Z now they know who sang those songs... Love this interview with D Legend💕💕💕😊👏👏👏

Favorite ko tlaga yan c Mr. Rey Valera..Wala kang itatapon sa mga awitin nya.Grabe sarap nyo panuorin Ms.Korina🥰

Nakoooo naiinlove na naman ako for sooo many times sa mga kanta ni Rey Valera❤

At the age of 47,bata palang ako naririnig ko lage sa radyo ang kanta ne Sir Rey..ung lage ko naririnig na napapa iyak ako ung MALAYO PA ANG UMAGA. Lage tolo ung luha ko kase sa hirap ng buhay namin noon..ung maranasan mong mag ulam ng kape at asukal na ginawa sa bigas grabe iyak ko nyan..xempre sa bata mo pang isip gusto mo guminhawa ang buhay nyo sa 8 magkakapatid ako ung panganay na babae hirap ko lahat sa kadahilanang ako ung pangalawang magulang ng mga kapatid ko...(iyak nnman ako huhu) Dahil po sa mga kanta ne Sir Rey na inspired po ako. heto na po kami ngayun..may police..sundalo at 3 OFW po sa aming magkakapatid..nag ofw po ako at isa isa kung dinala sa pangarap ko mga kapatid ko..SALAMAT SA MGA KANTA SIR REY..HABANG BUHAY KO PAKIKINGGAN MGA KANTA MO PO..❤❤❤❤

Napakaganda ng interview ni Korina. Rey Valera is my favorite singer and composer. May cassette tapes nga ako ng mga kanta nya!

I've been playing Rey Valera this past 3 days. All out opms 70' 80' and 90's

Sir Rey Valera, if I may add, grabe ang consistency ng boses mo po. Mas less acoustics mas nararamdaman ko ang kagandahan and halaga ng mga composition mo po! It’s like every single notes falls on the exact words and the emotions are on point! GRABE Sir Valera ‘di mo kailangan ang David Foster or Oprah W. to be a great performer. “SA AMIN KA LANG MGA PINOY”

Ms K lahat ng kanta ni Mr Rey ay kabisado ko po. High school po kc may songhits po ako. Yung sinasamba po maganda rin. Memorize ko rin po yun. Hayyyy naku ganda talaga kanta ni Mr Rey Valera at naiyak pa ako dahil sa memories nung high school ko❤

Rey Valera is a genius 🎉

Watching from west Las vegas

Alas Dos na ng hating-gabi dito sa Amerika, naisip kong mag-You Tube. Natiyempuhan ko itong interviewni Miss Korina kay Sir Rey Valera, grabe, as in OMG! Naiyak ako sa tono at emotions ng pagkatapos ni Sir Valera. Parang dumaan sa harap ko ang kalahati ng buhay ko. I got so emotional na hindi ko mawari… Sir Valera, happy ako that you are now harvesting the fruits of your hard work and passion! Kahit hindi mo ako kakilala, parang naging part ako ng buhay. Now I understand bakit ako naiyak. You do have the empathy for people and compassion. Mabuhay ka pa sana ng ilang dang taon! But I know you will always remain in the hearts of Filipino all over the world! God Bless Sir Rey Valera! Thank you so much Miss Korina Sanches for this heart warming interview with one of the best singer composer of our country! More power to you guys and God Bless! Ito ang rason bakit bumabalik pa rin tayo sa ating bansa dahil din sa mga nagmarkang ala-ala sa ating mga puso na isinadula ni Sir Rey Valera sa kanyang mga awitin! Lastly, talagang makakarating ang mga Bulakenyo , magagaling sa Arts, song writing, acting like Sir John Arcillia, as well as Bulakenyo’s are known to be the pioneers in culinary arts as well. Again, God Bless you guys and more power!
