Most people know Dylan Menor as an actor, having appeared in series such as Ang Himala ni Niño, and Almost Paradise, plus the MMFF entry The Kingdom. And now he is showing everyone just how multi-talented he is, with the release of “Maghapon,” his debut single under Universal Records.
The catchy “Maghapon,” which was written by Alvin Serito of the band SunKissed Lola, is a serenade track with a slow and soothing progression, capturing the quiet beauty of companionship. Through the magic of unspoken connection, the song tells the story of someone drawn to another’s presence—enchanted by their eyes and longing to stay close. With a gentle melody and intimate lyrics, it expresses the subtle thrill of admiration and the warmth of simply being together: “Kahit saan mo gusto, ‘di mo kailangang magsalita. Kahit saan mo gusto, ang mahalaga ay nariyan ka.”
Dylan — who is managed by Stages Talents and an endorser for the MVP Group of Companies, Penshoppe, and Blackwater — has been teasing his fans by performing parts of the song in events like his “A Date with the Dreamers” fan meet last February 16, and more recently on an episode of Wil to Win.
His fans can finally rejoice now that “Maghapon” is already available on all major streaming platforms. “I’m very excited now that my first-ever single is out,” Dylan says. “I’m very proud of this song, and I hope a lot of people will be able to relate to it kasi nakaka-kilig and nakaka-in love talaga siya, from the melody to the lyrics.”
This is definitely just the start for the “Harana Pop Heartthrob” of Universal Records. There will be a lot of YouTube videos and short-form content on socials to support the single, TV and radio guestings, plus on-ground activities scheduled for the press and his fans to get to know him more as a singer and recording artist.

Verse I
nakita kita dahil sa mala-tala mo na mga mata
‘di sinasadya na lumakad tungo sa kung nasa’n ka
Pre Chorus I
unti-unting papalapit
“pwede bang malaman iyong ngalan”
maaari bang makatabi ka’t
sa pananahimik masamahan
Chorus
kahit saan mo gusto
‘di mo kailangang magsalita
kahit saan mo gusto
ang mahalaga ay nariyan ka
palipasin natin ang maghapon
mga puso nati’y hihinahon
Verse II
napapakanta, kitang-kita ‘di ko man ipahalata
‘di na mawala sa kaisipan, maamo mong mukha
Pre Chorus II
naririnig ba o hindi?
ang alunig ng aking damdamin
maaari bang aking damhin
iyong kamay ilapat mo sa akin
Chorus
kahit saan mo gusto
‘di mo kailangang magsalita
kahit saan mo gusto
ang mahalaga ay nariyan ka
palipasin natin ang maghapon
mga puso nati’y hihinahon
Bridge
sasamahan ka
sa pag-iisa
‘wag kang mangamba
nandito lang
Last Chorus
kahit saan mo gusto
‘di mo kailangang magsalita
kahit saan mo gusto
ang mahalaga ay nariyan ka
kahit saan mo gusto
narito ko ‘wag mag alinlangan
kahit saan mo gusto
oh hayaan mo akong manahan
palipasin natin ang maghapon
mga puso nati’y hihinahon
