Born in the suburb of Santa Mesa in Manila on August 6, 1964, he is the sixth of Vicente Valenciano and Grimilda Santiago Ortiz’s seven children. Santiago Ortiz is a Puerto Rican woman of Italian descent who became a popular opera singer in Manila during the 1960s, and her love for music passed down to her son, Gary. He took his primary and secondary studies in La Salle Greenhills. It was during his high school days, while on a brief stint with the musical group Kundirana, that he devoted himself to music.
Valenciano started performing in 1982 and launched his career in singing and show business on May 13, 1983. He first appeared as a solo in a television show called The Pilita and Jackie Show in 1982, but he was finally noticed after his performances in the TV shows Germspesyal and Penthouse Live. He had his first solo concert, in April 1984, inside the jam-packed Araneta Coliseum. That would be followed by 21 albums, three of them released internationally, including a Christian inspired album called Out of the Dark.
He is married to Maria Anna Elizabeth "Angeli" Evangelista Pangilinan, with whom he has three children: Juan Paolo Martin (a vocalist of the band Salamin), Jose Angelo Gabriel (a dancer), and Kristina Maria Mikaela.

Gary Valenciano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For no moment is ever wasted, never wasted, but.
What's the point of falling in love?
If the pain outweighs the highs?
If it always ends the same,
And they just end with someone else.
The circle seems to be never ending,
A never ending cycle.
Oh you said you'd never leave my side.
"An hours just one moment, when I have your heart in mine".
But oh you go, so very far away.
Just cut me off and leave me dying,
Face the end without you trying.
Well are you with me!?
Take a step, a step we're back in time,
I didn't mean to cause you pain,
But now my pain is doubled over,
I'm sorry I was so empty,
And emptier still I am, when you give no second chances.
If we give it all up does it take from the fact,
That with all that we have was a love from above?
How could you just replace me with some blank new face?
Am I just so easy to let go of?
How did you care at all, if you can't need me now.
Why can't you just save me, why can't you just save me!?
Oh you said you'd never leave my side.
"An hours just one moment, when I have your heart in mine".
But oh you go, so very far away.
Just cut me off and leave me dying,
Face the end without you trying.
What's the point of falling in love?
If the pain out weighs the highs...
If it always ends the same.
& They just end with someone else...
The circle seems to be never ending,
A never ending cycle,
Never ending, never ending...
Oh you said you'd never leave my side.
"An hours just one moment, when I have your heart in mine".
But oh you go, so very far away.
Just cut me off and leave me dying,
Face the end without you trying.
Face the end without you trying.
The lyrics of Gary Valenciano's song "Peksman" explore the pain and cyclical nature of falling in love. The singer questions the purpose of pursuing love if the pain of heartbreak outweighs the joys of being with someone. The lyrics suggest that despite efforts to try and make love work, it often ends the same way with someone else, and the cycle begins again. The singer's pain and desperation are evident as they plead for their lover to come back and not leave them alone to face the end without trying to make things work. The final repetition of the phrase "face the end without you trying" emphasizes the hopelessness and resignation of the singer in the face of an inevitable end.
Overall, the lyrics are raw and emotional, exploring the universal experience of heartbreak and the desperate desire to salvage a relationship. They question the integrity of love and whether it's worth the pain that often follows.
Line by Line Meaning
I know they say try with every moment,
People say that we should make the most of every moment, but...
For no moment is ever wasted, never wasted, but.
...sometimes it feels like we're still losing something in the end.
What's the point of falling in love?
Why bother with love when the pain it brings outweighs the good?
If the pain outweighs the highs?
When the bad times are more than the good.
If it always ends the same,
If relationships always end in heartbreak and separation,
And they just end with someone else.
because someone else comes into play.
The circle seems to be never ending,
A vicious cycle repeats itself,
A never ending cycle.
And it seems to have no end.
Oh what are we to do?
What can we do in this situation?
Oh you said you'd never leave my side.
You promised to always be there for me.
"An hours just one moment, when I have your heart in mine".
Our time spent together, even if it's just an hour, is precious to me.
But oh you go, so very far away.
But then you just leave me and distance yourself.
Just cut me off and leave me dying,
You abandon me and leave me to fend for myself.
Face the end without you trying.
You give up and walk away without putting in any effort to fix things.
Well are you with me!?
Do you still want to be together?
Take a step, a step we're back in time,
Let's try to go back to when things were better.
I didn't mean to cause you pain,
I didn't intend to hurt you.
But now my pain is doubled over,
But now I'm in pain too, and it's even worse.
I'm sorry I was so empty,
I apologize for being emotionally unavailable.
And emptier still I am, when you give no second chances.
I feel even more alone and empty when you don't give me another chance.
If we give it all up does it take from the fact,
If we just let it all go, does that mean that what we had wasn't real?
That with all that we have was a love from above?
That what we had was a special kind of love from a higher power?
How could you just replace me with some blank new face?
How can you just forget about me and move on to someone else?
Am I just so easy to let go of?
Do I mean so little to you that you can just walk away without looking back?
How did you care at all, if you can't need me now.
Did you ever really care about me if you don't need me now?
Why can't you just save me, why can't you just save me!?
Why can't you help me when I need you the most?
Face the end without you trying.
You're willing to let it all end without even trying to fix things.
What's the point of falling in love?
Is there really any reason to fall in love when it seems to just lead to heartbreak?
If the pain out weighs the highs...
When the bad times are more than the good.
If it always ends the same.
If relationships always end in heartbreak and separation,
& They just end with someone else...
because someone else comes into play.
The circle seems to be never ending,
A vicious cycle repeats itself,
A never ending cycle,
And it seems to have no end.
Oh you said you'd never leave my side.

Our time spent together, even if it's just an hour, is precious to me.

Just cut me off and leave me dying,
You abandon me and leave me to fend for myself.
Face the end without you trying.
You give up and walk away without putting in any effort to fix things.
