Differences between the cassette and the CD
The CD has six new tracks: "Umawit Kayo", "Psalm 73", "Aba Ginoong Maria", "Simeon's Canticle", "In Your Darkest Hour" and "Bayan Magsiawit na!"
On the CD, "Pananatili" has an additional flute part on the first chorus.
On the CD, "Inang Mahal" has an additional rhythm guitar section
The rhythm tracks for the acoustic version of "Pagbabasbas" on the cassette serves as the instrumental version of the same song on the CD. However, this instrumental version is immediately after "Bayan, Magsiawit Na!"; on the CD, and both songs appear as one track. In addition, the instrumental version of "Pagbabasbas" is not listed on the CDs inlay card.
In December 1991, Hangad released a music video for "Pananatili", featuring a story about a woman writing a letter to her husband, who is working in another province. Some scenes were shot at the Manila Central Post Office building. Hangad members played part of the cast; members Lissa Fontanilla and Teejay Ortiz played the husband-and-wife pair. It was shown on major television stations and still enjoys regular broadcasts on RPN-9 and IBC-13. For the music video of "Simeon's Canticle", see Pasko Naming Hangad.
