Source-derived summary

"Pusong Ligaw" (transl. The Misguided Heart) is a single by Filipino singer and actor Jericho Rosales. The song was written by Rosales and was released on January 11, 2010, under the Star Records label. The song is included in his 2009 album, Change.

Rosales adapted the song for the 2009 television series Dahil May Isang Ikaw, where he starred alongside former off-screen partner Kristine Hermosa. According to him, the production requested a song for the series, leading him to rewrite an existing unreleased composition to fit the show's narrative.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2015 song performed by Jericho Rosales” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30612510. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2009, 2015 and 2017.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
