"Anak" (Filipino for child or more gender specific my son or my daughter) is a Tagalog song written and performed by Filipino folk-singer Freddie Aguilar. It made the finals for the inaugural 1978 Metropop Song Festival held in Manila. It became an international hit, and was translated into 51 languages.[2] The lyrics speak of Filipino family values.[3] The current copyright owner of the song is Star Music, a recording company owned and operated by the Philippine media conglomerate ABS-CBN Corporation.[4] It was produced by Celso Llarina of VST & Co, with an arrangement by D'Amarillo (Doming Amarillo). Tito Sotto was the executive producer for this song as well as its album of the same name.[5] It is the best-selling single by a Filipino artist of all time, with over 33 million copies sold worldwide.[6][7][8][9]
