This time around, Freddie Aguilar's interpretation of Snaffu Rigor's composition won the Grand Prize. However, the biggest pop hit to come out of the Second Metropop was "EWAN". This song launched the career of Louie Ocampo, now a well-respected composer, and added to the numerous hits of The Apo Hiking Society. The Apo is one of Pinoy music's biggest acts ever, and their songs have been covered through the years. Rico J. Puno, already a big star at this time, interpreted the third place song, which also became a hit song for him. Composer George Canseco didn't win any of the top prizes, but with his songs before and after the competition, he became one of the most prolific and successful composers in the music scene. "UMAGANG KAY GANDA" also didn't win any prize, but became a classic pop hit.
