Once again, Dannie Subido’s arrangement and lyrics are simple but playful, a perfect fit to Ate Vi’s sweet range.Īfter Sixteen - The success of Sixteen brings out another facet of Vilma Santos’ talent. The puppy love theme of the album continued with an uplifting song, well at least for the Vi and Bot fans with "Then Along Came You, Edgar.” This song confirmed Vi's puppy love to the dark and handsome but not so tall cutie-pie, Edgar Mortiz. The up-tempo and simple lyrics of this song makes it more like a children rhyme song except that it’s about almost "adult-kind" of love. It’s a Wonderful To Be in Love is self-explanatory, yes Ate Vi is in love and she expressed it nicely in this song.

Before Britney Spears came up with her hit song, “Sometimes,” Vilma has her own song titled “Sometimes.” Both Britney and Vilma’s songs are about teenage love confusion. Three songs that stands out were the original compositions of Dannie Subido, "Sometimes," "It is Wonderful to be In Love" and "Then Along Came You Edgar.” The lyrics of these songs are simple and obviously catered to the massive followers of the Edgar – Vilma love team. "When The Clock Strikes One" was an original composition of Robert Medina and like “Sixteen” was about “making out” – kissing and hugging but this time its more fun because of its unusual up-tempo mood that’s actually more like a hip-hop song. One of the two final songs on side A, came as a surprise. Followed by a turned around in terms of mood with Vi’s version of a Bacharach composition, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, a funny but out of place song. The next songs, Dry your Eyes and Bring Back Your Love both arranged by Dannie Subido are love songs that boils down to frustration of a girl in love.

A clear reason why "Sixteen" was a major hit with the free love carefree young generation of this era. Remember this is the hippie era and the start of the feminist movement. A feat that even her closest rival, Nora Aunor can’t replicated (Nora Aunor despite successful singing career lacked a signature song). The song catapulted Vilma’s signature song. The hidden sex - "making out" - kissing and hugging in public place - message of the song would probably the reason why "Sixteen" became the favorites of teenagers. This might alarm some of the religious zealots in the 70s but Ate Vi’s wholesome sweet voice makes the song wholesome and child like. Composed by Dannie Subido, Sixteen talks about "making out" in the park. The vinyl record on side A starts with its carrying single, Sixteen. Consist of twelve songs six on each side. Vilma’s first album was pure fun and still very relevant today. This success proves that she can be a successful singer like her closest rival, Nora. What she really meant by that line, “I made it” is that by making her record a success no one cannot say that she cannot be sell records. But every time I hear my records play, I couldn’t help but kid myself that I was made after all.” She commented when asked to evaluate herself as singer. “…as a singer…gosh…I feel a funny thing inside every time na naiisip kong, I was not a born singer. Body image, sex education, adulthood, friendship, and dating are some of the topics the album tackled which are topics that are still relevant today. Sort of like early Britney, “no longer a child not yet a woman.” Her promotional interview clearly confirmed some of the issues teenagers are experiencing during this time. They also wanted to make sure that the songs reflect Vilma’s current state of mind, that of a growing teenager. They decided to make it fun and sort of child like. They have to find songs that are light but will still give Vilma’s fans enjoyment. It was reported that Subido find the project challenging. William Leary, Vilma’s manager asked musical director Dannie Subido to gather songs that will suit Vilma’s limited range. There was a market and demand for Vilma’s very own long-playing vinyl. The success of Vi & Bot love team was evident with numerous films and it was only a matter of time that the idea of having Vilma have her own album came in 1969.
