Dad On The Move News & Lifestyle covers the latest interesting updates on business, sports, technology, shopping, travel, and food in the Philippines.
In 2016, long-time friends Jazz Nicolas and Wally Acolola wrote “Di Na Muli.” They entered the song into the 5th Philippine Popular (PhilPop) Music Festival, performed by The Itchyworms, where it emerged as the grand prize winner. Two years later, the song has been given a new life in the official soundtrack of the hit film Sid & Aya (Not A Love Story) (by Viva Films, starring Dingdong Dantes and Anne Curtis, and directed by Irene Villamor).
The Itchyworms releases “Di Na Muli” official music video
Somewhere in between PhilPop and Sid & Aya, The Itchyworms set out to immortalize the song. The result was a visually stunning and emotional music video, directed by Paolo Abella. Help also came along in the form of the video's co-director Juno Oebanda, a long-time friend of the band, and the generous indulgence of none other than the Cultural Center of the Philippines. The link to the CCP is Teddy Hilado (d. 2015), recognized as the father of lighting design in Philippine theater, who is also the uncle of Oebanda
The song's themes of love, loss, and words left unspoken, are embodied in the elegant performances of Rosky Balahadia Hilado (Teddy's widow, formerly of the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company) and Carissa Adea (Ballet Philippines), and in the video's sweeping visuals, all captured within the hallowed halls of the CCP. The music video seeks to serve as a loving tribute to Teddy, whose influence is still felt and recognized to this day.
The Itchyworms is proud to share what is probably the first-ever music video shot inside the Cultural Center of the Philippines and extend heartfelt thanks to those who helped bring the music video to fruition.

Di Na Muli
Words and Music by Jazz Nicolas and Wally Acolola
Performed by The Itchyworms
Verse:
Nung araw kay tamis ng ating buhay
Puno ng saya at ng kulay
Di mauulit muli
Ang oras kapag hinayaang lumipas
Madarama mo hanggang bukas
Di mababawi muli
Chorus:
Ang dami daming bagay na hindi naman kailangan
Kung pwede lang bawasan natin ang mga tampuhan
Hindi mo lang alam hindi mo pa nararanasan
Kahapon sana natin di mo na pinahirapan
Patawad muli
Di na muli
Verse:
Ang oras kapag hinayaang lumipas
Madarama mo hanggang bukas
Di mababawi muli
(Instrumental)
Bridge:
At natapos ang himas ng sandal
Di kukubli aking tinig
Nang lumipas na't di man lang nasabi
Salamat hanggang sa muli
Chorus:
Ang dami daming bagay na hindi naman kailangan
Kung pwede lang bawasan natin ang mga tampuhan
Hindi mo lang alam hindi mo pa nararanasan
Kahapon sana natin di mo na pinahirapan
Patawad muli
Di na muli
Binawi buhay mo ng walang sabi
Binubulong ko sa sarili
Mahal kita hanggang sa huli
Mahal ko hanggang sa huli
