He will sing an adaptation in Filipino of the song "La Vie en Rose" ("Kulay Rosas"), and will also read his adaptation of Pablo Neruda's "Puedo escribir..." ("Tagulaylay ni Pablo Napurnada").

The program "Harana ng Puso" is hosted by Michael M. Coroza, Assistant Professor in the Department of Filipino, School of Humanities of the Ateneo de Manila University.
