In just less than 24 hours after premiering on YouTube on June 3, TJ Monterde's music video for his latest single “teka lang” has garnered 300,000 views and counting. The music video rocketed its way to the Top 2 spot for the trending music in YouTube Charts Philippines.

Three elements make this MV very special that easily entice the viewers: (a) Caprice Cayetano's music video debut, (b) the Heart Evangelista and John Prats' comeback collaboration, and (c) it was conceptualized and directed by John Prats and produced by TJ Monterde.

“Galing ni Direk John parang short film na. Galing din ni Ms Heart, dama ko 'yung emotions nya. And of course Cap, you're an amazing actor and napakaganda pa. Kudos sa team,” said commenter @annchavez9.

The eight-minute MV features the "TOTGA" story of the young love during summer 2003, in which the teen girl is played by PBB Collab 2.0 Kapuso Big Winner Caprice Cayetano. At the end of the song, the second half of the video shows the comeback pairing of the “Asia's Pop Sweetheart" Heart Evangelista and her former leading man John Prats, playing the "23 years later" grown-up roles.

“Nakakatuwa to think na di pa pinapanganak si Caprice nung 2003 but here she is portraying little Heart and she nailed it,” saiid another commenter @MisakaMikoto.2

“It's such a right choice for caprice to play this characer—she's so first love coded. what a great mv,” shared @swjkzle.

Even during the Pinoy Big Brother days of Caprice, some netizens began noticing and mentioning about her similarities with the young Heart Evangelista.

Moreover, John recently reunited with his ex-lover, Heart, and became her guest in an episode of the Kapuso icon's weekend show Heart World. These two interesting events seemed to have been cleverly put together by the singer-songwriter in one bright and sentimental masterpiece.
