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.
My Destiny
Gary Valenciano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if I never found you
I'd never had this feeling
In my heart
How did this come to be
I don't know how you found me
But from the moment I saw you
I knew
Baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny
I wanted someone like you
Someone that I could hold onto
And give my love
Until the end of time
But forever was just a word
Something I'd only heard about
But now you're always there for me
When you say forever
I'll believe
Baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny
Maybe all we need
Is just a little faith.
Cause baby, I believe
That love will find a way.
Hey..
Oh baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny
