Here's one rare OPM(Original Pilipino Music) that dominated the FM airwaves of the Philippines back in the early 80s. Been looking for this song which I remember was heavily played at dept.stores like Isetann, Shoemart, Cinderella, etc. The artist 'Dan Henry', credited for this hit song is actually a Filipino act(never knew that), the duo DANEE SAMONTE & HENRY TORIBIO. The song's reference to Philippine Airlines somehow made it an unofficial jingle for PAL back in the day. "20 minutes before take-off" could be a fitting tribute to all Filipino OFWs(Overseas Filipino Workers), separated from their families in their struggle to survive an economy plundered by so much politics & corruption. Still hoping our economy will take-off someday.

    uuy747, you are saying Dan Henry died. Dan Henry were a duo (the band name was taken from their given names "Dan" and "Henry"). Who of them died? When did he die?

    Dude, you are one lucky guy, if she married someone else that means she was never loyal to you. It hurts, but it is better now than later. Stop waiting for her and move on.

    Walang problema pare. Hope I did a decent job with the video interpretation. It's just sad that the creators of this ballad didn't get their well-deserved recognition, which I believe should have been international exposure. We need more original songs like this. Salamat at Mabuhay tayong mga Pilipino!

    The song itself is nostalgic enough ...with PAL as background video, it's too much.. nakakaiyak pare.. story of my life...at 0:48, that's the old PAL color, how can I forget.. you don't mind if I add this song to my channel.. maraming salamat sa iyo kabayang Marist83USA!!
