Canseco was a nationally acclaimed composer of numerous popular Filipino classics. Early YearsEdit Canseco studied and graduated with a Liberal Arts degree at University of the East in the Philippines. After graduation, he worked for the Philippines Herald and the Associated Press as a journalist. He also free-lanced as a scriptwriter for hire in Manila. Canseco was commissioned by former Philippines First lady, Imelda Marcos, to compose the national tribute hymn, I Am a Filipino (Ako Ay Pilipino). Later careerEdit Canseco wrote the classic Kapantay Ay Langit, a theme from the award winning motion picture sung by Amapola. It also had an English version titled Youre All I Love that was sang by American singer Vic Dana that included some Tagalog lines. The song won the Manila Film Festival Best Song Of The Year Award in 1972. Canseco followed it with an English song entitled Songs exclusively for Songs and Amapola under the Vicor Music Corporation Pioneer Label. Cansecos best-known composition, however, was Child, the English-language version of Freddie Aguilars signature song Anák. He wrote for Sharon Cuneta and Basil Valdez, and his songs were also recorded by Regine Velasquez, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Pilita Corrales, Martin Nievera, and Kuh Ledesma. Rey Valera was a lyricist of two of Cansecos songs. Canseco credited film producer and Vicor Music Corporation owner Vic del Rosario for his biggest break in the music industry.
