An independent music video for the song was made using ordinary gadgets and relied with simple creativity of RSLPhoenix team was posted in youtube. A few months after the song was played in local FM stations especially in Campus Radio Iloilo, the song gained the interest of Ilonggo listeners. The song gave Sheila her first nomination as Best Female Artist in the 2010 Ilonggo Music Awards organized by M.O.R. 91.1 and ABS-CBN Iloilo. The growing popularity of the song reached Bacolod City, Negros Island and other parts of Western Visayas. The song was the start of great blessings that came in the life of a simple Ilongga girl with the gift to inspire the new generation of Ilonggo music lovers, an opportunity she never ever expected to happen. One of those blessings was her chance to be able to gain a 4-year college scholarship, and included as one of the minor cast, 1st line producer and theme song singer  in the 2012 Sineng Pambansa entry, Ilonggo film "Gugma sa Panahon sang Bakunawa."
