I was a second year college student when I watched this on Channel 9. I still remember very well how this contest went on because it was discussed at the proper contest. Each Asian country then had two representatives in this singing contest. Let me emphasize that this was not a song festival, but a singing contest where the best singers of each country showcased their singing prowess or belting voice. The Philippines was then represented by Dulce and Ivy Violan. The scores of the two singers from each country were then added to determine the grand winner. Dulce splendidly sang "Memory" where she laid down on the floor upon reaching the change key part/the part with the highest note of the Memory which goes TOUCH ME, IT'S SO EASY TO LEAVE ME. We all stood up when she did that----nakahiga sa sahig habang binabatanatan yung part na yun. Dulce scored very high on that part. After Dulce perofrmed, she was followed right away by Ivy violan. Caught by the camera somewhere at the backstage, Ivy Violan looked nervous as Dulce was approaching her. Then Ivy Violan performed this No Way to Treat a Heart where she also scored very high. Merging the scores of Dulce and Ivy, Manila emerged as the Grand Champion. Now, there was a special award given called Best Singer which can only be given to one contestant. This went to Ivy Violan. For me, Dulce and Ivy are equally excellent singers then. Unfortunately, the rule said it should only go to one contestant. So, that's the story. The following year (1989), the organizer changed the mechanics. There was only one contestant from each country. The Philippines sent Regine Velasquez whose real name is Chona Velasquez. In her time, each contestant had to sing 2 songs. One for the qualifying round and one for the final round. She first sang You'll Never Walk Alone in the qualifying round. Those contestants who made it to the final round had to sing their very best song. In which case, Regine who qualified sang Now I'm Telling You. Only 5 contestants made it to the final round and Regine emerged as the Grand Champion.

Paulit ulit ko pa din pinapakinggan to. Di ko alam lagi ako naiiyak. May something sa pagkakanta ni Ms Ivy. Parang may hugot. Di ko alam. Basta naluluha ako paulet ulet.

Grabe!!!! Sobrang galing... mataas ang boses pero di masakit sa tenga... perfect! Di tulad ng mga singers ngayon na puro tili lang ng tili... di na masarap pakinggan!

Love it when she sang the line : REMEMBER...IT WAS YOU WHO SAID FOREVER.... No doubt.. Ms ivy violan is ivy violan... The Original FESTIVAL QUEEN... kudos. 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌💖💖💖

Hindi pa ako pinanganak peru subrang sarap ng boses mo miss Ivy.😘😘😘 sana ganito ang boses ng mga singer ngayon.

Fantastic voice in her time. Incomparable talent which you can't see nowadays. There were no social media then but these talents have their own signature when you hear their name. Ivy, Claire, Papin, Vernie, Sampaguita,, Pilita, Carmen Soriano, Pateña, etc.

This song is impeccable. Can only be sung by someone who has the heart, range and skills without fear, and the knowledge to understand and tell the story of the song.

Ms Ivy Violan is a natural storyteller. She doesn't need to do any music video. Her live performances are full of nuances in her show of emotions and vocal dexterity. What a treat having the chance to see her perform live you're just drawn to her, you leave the concert hall having withdrawal symptoms from the experience.

Yung pag kaka kanta nya is like she reallly means every words. Galing! She reminds me if pink 5.

I lovs ivy bagay yung kanta sobrang like it

She's the music festival queen

After 32 years ng contest, nakakatindig balahibo parin ang interpretation ni Ms. Ivy Violan ng song na ito, "No Way to Treat a Heart". Walang kahirap-hirap sa high notes, hindi masakit sa tenga, at punong-puno ng emotion.

i think ivy violan won here as the best singer because her voice is so soft and sweet but so powerful at the same time, it is like listening to cd with the volume up...

I never get tired watching this video. Her voice and the way she looked was a hit for the Cantonese, she had the Theresa Teng vibe. She started slowly, sweetly and gently then gradually rose until she reached a powerful slow rock rhythm. She did that with semingly no effort. This was Ms. Ivy Violan's greatest performance.

She is everlasting. Her voice is legendary.

ang galing niya.nanalo siya dati sa metropop then sa asia pacific singing contest naman.

I’m 2nd year high school when this was broadcasted in Channel 9. This was the time I fell in love with ivy violan and followed her music.

Kahit hindi ako nainlab at nabigo, para na ring naranasan ko na sa kantang ito lol

Galing!!! Ang linis ng kanta ni ms. ivy.. 🤗

Jesus Christ that transition is the bomb

20 years from now this song will still resonate and sound superb

Her voice is cold as ice and it's so lovely to hear

Watching in 2019 Superb Ivy Violan!!!

Ivy Violan is such a star :) One of my idols as well..

Naka ilang panood na ako dito at di talaga ako nag sasawa pakinggan ang boses ni Ivy Violan. Napaka linis ng pagla kanta niya, puno ng emosyon, talagang ang galing. Una ko siyang napakinggan nung Grade School ako at tumatak siya talaga sa isip ko. Wala pa ako narinig na babaeng singer na kumanta nitong kanta na ito, pati yung Easy to Love You. Si Martin Nievera ang kumanta nitong No Way To Trear A Heart at Erik Santos pero iba talaga ang Version ni Ivy Violan.

Filipino talent at its BEST!

Grabe, ramdam mo talaga emotions nung kanta..galing ni ivy

ang galing ni ivy nakakapanindig balahibo.... superb... excellent....

Nagustuhan ko talaga agad itong song na ito when i first heard it. Tapos si martin nievera pala din ang composer. But this version always haunts me kaya lagi ko pinapakinggan dito. Sana i revive ito ni jona

WOW watching n 2017

Sana my studio version sya nito Ang Ganda Ng song ❤❤❤

❤❤❤

napakahusay!!!!!

Sila ang champion 1988 sa asia pacific singing contest. At 1989 champion ulit ang pinas dahil sa panalo ni regine.

💟💟💟

Kaya itinigil Ang Asia Pacific kasi magkakasunod na taon nanalo Ang mga Pinoy.. 😂😂😂 char!

Ivy + Dulce = uwian na 🇵🇭

Eto pala yung katumbas ng Singer 2018 ngayon... so if KZ Tandingan wins , she will start becoming in the league of Ivy Violan, Dulce, and Regine Velasquez who are legit Asia's pride.

One of my fave opm artist,, where is she now?

13 year old ako that time, wow!

Di pa ako buhay nang panahon na to

I was here because of Ms.Dulce's interview in TWBA..

Authenthic resonance

this is the first time that i hear the name Ivy Violan... maybe she stops her singing career after winning here. but Dulce is still showing on tvs

she put an East Asian twist in her rendition..and she pulled it off and won..

this is so memorable. Incredible. Proud moment. Was Dulce in this contest too or was it another one? There was a contest na silang dalawa and Ivy was grand champion, the festival queens. Among the greatest singers of all.

Meron kayong buong video nung kumakanta na sina Ivy at Dulce ng No Way to Treat heart? Yung buo sana... Thanks!

Missing this voice...

Omg

Gling neto

2:54 perfection 💯

Those who disliked this performance means you dislike the Filipino .,the proud Filipinos like me.,,that ms ivy violan had represented inghit very prestigious contest.,bastards!

Was this released on an album? MP3?

I am looking for a karaoke version of this song. I can't find one

Wala po ba yung MEMORY n miss Dulce?

Is there a karaoke version to this? No, not the version by Martin Nievera but this very specific arrangement done for this contest.
