“Parang alanganin pang ika’y patawarin pa / Alang-alang na rin para sa’ting dalawa . . .”
These words rang out at the end of Episode 3 of Si Sol at si Luna, just as Sol (Zaijian Jaranilla) laid eyes on Luna (Jane Oineza) again, after an entire episode of searching, hoping, and waiting for the bus that Luna habitually rode. But will the moment ultimately lead to clarity, or will Sol’s feelings remain unexpressed?
Puregold’s hit series Si Sol at si Luna returns on Saturday with a powerful emotional turn, the episode made more poignant by SunKissed Lola’s ‘HKP’—a beautiful song that captures the pain of hanging on when love is not certain.
Known for feel-good songs with lyrics that tug at the heartstrings, Filipino rock band Sunkissed Lola consists of Dan Ombao (lead vocals, guitar), Alvin Serito (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Laura Lacbain (lead vocals), Danj Quimson (bass guitar), and Genson Villoria (drums). Together, the band has produced hit songs on life and love, such as crowd-favorites ‘Pasilyo’ and ‘ Makalimutan Ka.’
HKP’s heartfelt lyrics, “Hanggang salita lang / Mahirap bang umasa sa wala?” reflect Luna’s own struggles as she continues to mourn the loss of Andy, the love of her life. While friends like Manang Boneng (Marnie Lapus) and colleagues like Ben (Joao Constancia) provide constant emotional support, Luna flounders in a world that has shifted under her feet.
“Music plays a significant role in bringing the emotional core of Si Sol at si Luna to life,” Ms. Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Senior Marketing Manager of Puregold, says. “We’re happy that a deeply sentimental song like SunKissed Lola’s HKP resonates so naturally with the story. It mirrors Luna’s raw emotions of grief and Sol’s intense longing, all the while asking: “Huwag kang paasa / Walang pag-asa / ‘Di na aasa?”
Meanwhile, Sol’s quiet persistence in finding Luna, waiting at their familiar bus stop day after day, is rewarded by a fleeting moment of recognition. There she was—finally. Yet in true Si Sol at si Luna fashion, viewers must catch the next episode to know if the pair will, at long last, get to reconnect.
Is time on their side? Will Sol find the right words? And will Luna ‘hear’ him out?
Si Sol at Si Luna’s next episode, “Signs,” will finally show how their stories will unfold.
