Christmas in Our Hearts is the Philippines’ bestselling album of
all time, with its eponymous title song heralding the holidays
every year on September 1. But for each of Jose Mari Chan’s hits
such as “Beautiful Girl” and “Please Be Careful With My Heart”
are hundreds of other songs and compositions that failed. When he
was a teenager, his father told him his voice was ordinary and to
just make music his hobby and run the family business
instead.

He listened—and was a massive success in both. His hobby turned
into a musical career that has lasted over five decades,
throughout which his guiding motto has been “The blow that
doesn’t break me only strengthens me.”
