Today's young people grew up sleeping to the melodious tune of "Ugoy ng Duyan", sung as a lullaby by their mothers. Hearing it, even at a grown up age, reawakens the liking to be the loving arms of singing mothers once again.
The lilting lullaby was composed by Maestro Lucio D. San Pedro, in partnership with equally-talented composer Levi Celerio. Sand Pedro was named National Artist of the Philippines for Music 1991.
The composer, band conductor and professor celebrated his Birth Centennial on February 11, 2013, and a fitting tribute to his genius was the issuance of Proclamation No. 496 s. 2012 declaring the the period February 11, 2013 to February 11, 2014 as the Centennial Year of National Artist for Music, Meastro Lucio D. San Pedro.
Stamps and Official First Day covers are available at the PHLPost Liawsang Bonifacio, and in all regional offices of the Philippines Postal Corporation.
