Available on all streaming platforms, “Mahal Kita” was composed by the late Macky Alca, and has already garnered critical acclaim, winning the prestigious title of “Best Song” at the first Puregold CinePanalo Awards this 2024.
A versatile talent known for his remarkable performances on both the silver screen and the stage, Mendoza is excited to transition into music, bringing his unique flair and passion to the forefront. Known for his acting roles in Road to Happy (2024), where he was nominated as Best Actor in the Puregold CinePanalo Awards; Can’t Buy Me Love (2023); Love vs Stars (2021); and Last Fool Show (2019), Mendoza is ready to add another dimension to his artistic journey with the heartfelt melodies of “Mahal Kita.”

Discussing the creative process behind “Mahal Kita,” Mendoza pays tribute to his friend and collaborator Macky Alca, whose untimely passing imbued the project with profound significance.
“The biggest struggle was the weight of carrying on his musical legacy and making it a success,” Mendoza reveals. “When the track won Best Song at the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival, it took all of my restraint not to cry on stage because I wanted to honor my friend’s memory.”
With “Mahal Kita,” Mendoza wants to bring happiness and memories to people’s lives. He crafted a melody that’s perfect for remembering special moments.
