Florante’s true name, Boy De Leon, became famous in the 1970s, parallel to the Beatles fever. Florante is a [filipino folk music|Filipino folk]] singer, guitarist, songwriter. He is famous for the undying hit “Handog” (Offer). Many musicians and performers look up to his compositions because the substance emanates an, obviously, “sentimentally-cute” genuine message. When OPM rose to fame, Freddie Aguilar also became another folk icon but Florante’s Handog, still remains an undying and unbeatable classic.
