Erik's passion for singing started when he was still a kid in Malabon. Erik participated in numerous small-town singing competitions.
Erik became the wildcard entry to the Final 10 of Star in a Million. He had a good start in the contest but got eliminated during the third week of competitions, when it was still a part of the Sunday noontime variety show ASAP. Nevertheless, his second chance came and his rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", won him the 10th and final slot for the semi-finals round. Eventually he became one of the three grand finalists in the showdown for the title of Star in a Million. "This is the Moment", a song from the musical Jekyll and Hyde, popularized by Martin Nievera, won him the title.
Now, with record-breaking chart-toppers from his Platinum debut album (his first single Pagbigyang Muli has stayed on the #1 spot of WRR's hit chart for more than 20 weeks, along with his other songs filling up the charts simultaneously), sold-out concerts and a demand for corporate shows, accolades from Awit Awards, Star Awards and Aliw Awards, endorsements for a bank (Bank of the Philippine Island's Express Remit), theme songs for radio stations, and even movies, Erik has earned mainstream popularity.
Maging Sino Ka Man
Erik Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tiwala sa isa't isa'y kailangan
Dati mong pag-ibig wala akong pakialam
Basta't mahal kita kailan pa man
Huwag kang mag-isip ng ano pa man
Mga paliwanag mo'y di na kailangan
At kahit ano pa ang iyong nakaraan
Mahal kita pagka't mahal kita
Iniisip nila ay hindi mahalaga
Mahal kita maging sino ka man
Mali man ang ikaw ay ibigin ko
Ako'y isang bulag na umiibig sa `yo
At kahit ano pa ang iyong nakaraan
Mamahalin kita maging sino ka man
Mahal kita pagka't mahal kita
Iniisip nila ay hindi mahalaga
Mahal kita maging sino ka man
Mahal kita maging sino ka man
The lyrics of Erik Santos's Maging Sino Ka Man express the importance of trust and unconditional love in a relationship. The song begins by stating that love is simply like that, it requires trust between two people who love each other. The singer then admits to not caring about the past loves of his partner because he loves her no matter what. He reassures her that whatever happened in the past doesn't matter and he will love her no matter who she is.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's love for his partner and how it doesn't matter who she is or what she has done in the past. He loves her and that's all that matters. The singer is willing to love her imperfectly despite the judgment of others. Despite the possible mistakes he may make by loving her, he is still willing to give everything to his lover.
Overall, this song is a message of unconditional love and acceptance, that one should love someone unconditionally despite their imperfections and past.

Ang pag-ibig ay sadyang ganyan
Love is always like that
Tiwala sa isa't isa'y kailangan
Trust in each other is necessary
Dati mong pag-ibig wala akong pakialam
I didn't care about your past love before
Basta't mahal kita kailan pa man
As long as I love you
Huwag kang mag-isip ng ano pa man
Don't think about anything else
Mga paliwanag mo'y di na kailangan
I don't need any explanations
At kahit ano pa ang iyong nakaraan
And whatever your past may be
Mamahalin kita maging sino ka man
I will love you no matter who you are
Mahal kita pagka't mahal kita
I love you because I love you
Iniisip nila ay hindi mahalaga
What they think is not important
Mali man ang ikaw ay ibigin ko
Even if loving you is wrong
Ako'y isang bulag na umiibig sa `yo
I am a blind person who loves you
Mahal kita maging sino ka man
I love you no matter who you are
Mahal kita maging sino ka man
I love you no matter who you are

Whoever You Are
Oh you know that love is just that way
Trust is what we need
The love that you once had, you know I don’t really care3
‘Coz what matters is that I love you and I’ll always be there
Don’t even think of something else
All those explanations won’t do just as well
Whatever your past is,
‘Coz you know that I love you, whoever you are
I love you because I love you
What they think isn't important
You know I’m lovin’ you, whoever you are

You know that I love you because you’re you
I love you because I love you
What they think isn't important
You know I’m lovin’ you, whoever you are
