Unang Halik was composed by Mon del Rosario, the singer/songwriter and doctor also responsible for the Metropop winner Sino ang Baliw and the phenomenal selling Isang Linggong Pag-ibig by Imelda Papin. It was first recorded way back in the ’80s by the very young Kristina Paner and it has been a big favorite among girl singers since.
