"Tumalon from #21 to #2 ang Rosas sa Billboard Hits of the World (Philippines) chart. Yakap sa lahat, mukhang maraming nangangailangan nito," the music producer and songwriter, who is also known for writing Sarah Geronimo's hit single 'Tala', wrote on Facebook.

Friends and members of the local music industry, including Rivermaya's Mark Escueta, congratulated her on the new milestone.
