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.
Muling Buksan Ang Puso
Erik Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Magmahal nang tapat at 'di man lamang nasaktan
'Yan ay sadyang bahagi ng karanasan
Minsa'y nadarapa paano mapagagaang
Puso mo ay buksan at sa pagpapatawad ilaan
Muling buksan ang pusong minsa'y nagtampo
Mamamasdang muli ang kagandahan ng mundo
Basta't limutin mo ano mang sakit nito
At ipaanod mo sa agos ng panahong tumatakbo
Alalahanin mong ang buhay nati'y minsan lang
Dusa't ligaya'y kakambal ng nilalang
Mahigpit mong hawakan ang ligaya't sayang
Kung umalis ito'y hindi magbabalik muli
Kaya't buksan ang puso at yakapin mo
Ang kasawian man kung 'yan ang natakda sa 'yo
Bukas magugulat ka pa paggising mo
Ang kapalit nito ay ligaya ngang totoo
'Di ba't bawat tao ay may kani-kaniyang paraiso
Alalahanin mong ang buhay nati'y minsan lang
Dusa't ligaya'y kakambal ng nilalang
Mahigpit mong hawakan ang ligaya't sayang
Kung umalis ito'y hindi magbabalik muli
Alalahanin mong ang buhay nati'y minsan lang
Dusa't ligaya'y kakambal ng nilalang
Mahigpit mong hawakan ang ligaya't sayang
Kung umalis ito'y hindi magbabalik muli
Kaya't buksan ang puso at yakapin mo
Ang kasawian man kung 'yan ang natakda sa 'yo
Bukas magugulat ka pa paggising mo
Ang kapalit nito ay ligaya ngang totoo
'Di ba't bawat tao ay may kani-kaniyang paraiso
Kung nasaktan ka man 'yan din ay magdaraan
Puso'y muling buksan at sa pagmamahal mo ilaan

Walang hindi man lang dumanas kailanman
No one never experienced anything at all
Magmahal nang tapat at 'di man lamang nasaktan
Love sincerely and not even get hurt
'Yan ay sadyang bahagi ng karanasan
That is truly part of the experience
Minsa'y nadarapa paano mapagagaang
Sometimes you stumble, but how can you make it easier
Puso mo ay buksan at sa pagpapatawad ilaan
Open your heart and dedicate it to forgiveness
Muling buksan ang pusong minsa'y nagtampo
Open your heart again, even if it felt offended
Mamamasdang muli ang kagandahan ng mundo
You will see once again the beauty of the world
Walang hapding mananatiling nasa 'yo
No pain will stay with you forever
Basta't limutin mo ano mang sakit nito
Just forget any pain it brings
At ipaanod mo sa agos ng panahong tumatakbo
And let it flow in the current of passing time
Alalahanin mong ang buhay nati'y minsan lang
Remember that life is only once
Dusa't ligaya'y kakambal ng nilalang
Suffering and joy are twin aspects of existence
Mahigpit mong hawakan ang ligaya't sayang
Hold tightly onto happiness and regret
Kung umalis ito'y hindi magbabalik muli
If they leave, they won't come back again
Kaya't buksan ang puso at yakapin mo
So, open your heart and embrace
Ang kasawian man kung 'yan ang natakda sa 'yo
Even if suffering is what's destined for you
Bukas magugulat ka pa paggising mo
Tomorrow, you will be surprised upon waking up
Ang kapalit nito ay ligaya ngang totoo
The reward for it is true happiness
'Di ba't bawat tao ay may kani-kaniyang paraiso
Isn't it true that every person has their own paradise
Kung nasaktan ka man 'yan din ay magdaraan
If ever you got hurt, that too shall pass
Puso'y muling buksan at sa pagmamahal mo ilaan
Open your heart again and dedicate it to love

Walang hindi man lang dumanas kailanman
Magmahal nang tapat at 'di man lamang nasaktan
'Yan ay sadyang bahagi ng karanasan
Minsa'y nadarapa, paano mapaggagapang
Puso mo ay buksan at sa pagpapatawad ilaan
Muling buksan ang pusong minsa'y nagtampo
Mamamasdang muli ang kagandahan ng mundo
Walang hapding mananatiling nasa'yo
Basta't limutin mo ano mang sakit nito
At ipaanod mo sa agos ng panahong tumatakbo
