Parte Ng Buhay Ko Isn’t Just an Album, It’s What Nick Vera Perez Has Been Living All Along

By Boy Romero 

There are songs you listen to. Then there are songs that feel like someone pulled them from your own story. That’s exactly what Parte Ng Buhay Ko does. It’s not just the title of Nick Vera Perez’s fourth all-original album. It’s the most honest name he could’ve given the soundtrack of his life.

Written entirely by composer Adonis Tabanda, the album was first released online in 2022. But instead of fading into the stream of forgotten playlists, the songs kept finding people who needed them. Titles like Paghilom Ng Sugat, Kalendaryo, and May Tayo Ba? speak to wounds that never fully healed and memories you thought you forgot. They don’t sugarcoat. They just tell it like it is.

Nick is now taking those songs back on the road. Not just to sing them, but to reconnect. His 2025 tour includes mall shows, radio guestings, and charity visits. He’s performing live at Robinsons Novaliches, Sta. Lucia, and Isetann Recto. He’s going on air with NET25, Eagle FM, and WISH 107.5. But one stop that stands out isn’t a stage at all. It’s the DSWD, where he’s showing up not as a singer, but as someone who still believes healing has to happen offstage too.

He’s also doing a special Mother’s Day performance with his mom, Visitacion Tan. Not just because it’s cute to bring your mom onstage. But because she’s been there through it all. “She’s been my rock,” he said. “After all this hard work, she deserves a vacation.”

Behind the spotlight, there’s a quieter story. A Filipino-American nurse who always finds time to come back home. Someone who admits that, no matter how far he goes, nothing satisfies him quite like Filipino food. On his recent visit, he made sure to fly to Zamboanga just to see his late father’s tomb. Because some cravings are for food, and others are for the places and people that made you who you are.

Nick also shared one of his biggest regrets. He never got to perform with Nora Aunor, someone he deeply admired. “It’s heartbreaking I never got to share the stage with her,” he said. “But her legacy will always stay with us.” He still hopes to collaborate with Martin Nievera one day.

Most people would stop after one tour. Nick isn’t wired that way. He’s already working on a gospel album called Unafraid and a dance project set to release this fall. Same heart, different beat.

And maybe that’s the real story behind Parte Ng Buhay Ko. It’s not just an album of songs. It’s a reminder that every part of life counts. The grief, the joy, the things you missed, the dreams still coming.

So if it feels like you’re waiting for a sign to finally move, heal, or come home, maybe this is it. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start singing your part.
