Apat Na Sikat was a popular Filipino variety show that aired from 1975 to 1981 on IBC 13. Created and directed by the late Ike Lozada, the show featured four teen pop stars—Maribel Aunor, Arnold Gamboa, Dondon Nakar, and Winnie Santos—who quickly became household names. With its engaging performances and youthful energy, Apat Na Sikat became a hit not only among teenagers but also with older audiences, earning high ratings throughout its five-year run.
The show’s theme song, Ah! Ewan, composed by Vincent Tuazon delos Reyes and recorded by Maribel Aunor, became an anthem of the era. Its playful lyrics captured the lighthearted spirit of young love and resonated with many fans. The song added to the show's charm and popularity, making it a nostalgic favorite among those who grew up watching Apat Na Sikat.
Airing on Friday nights at 8:30 PM, the show became a much-anticipated weekly event. When Dondon Nakar briefly stepped away, Eddie Villamayor, the brother of superstar Nora Aunor, took his place. Many fans still fondly associate Arnold Gamboa with the show, as Apat Na Sikat played a significant role in shaping Philippine television history.
Lyrics:
Ah ewan wag mo akong ligawan
Ah ewan ayoko pang magmahal
Ang nais ko sa aking buhay
Ay maglingkod muna sa aking magulang
Ah ewan wag mo akong ligawan
Ah ewan ayoko pang magmahal
Ang nais ko sa aking buhay
Ay maglingkod muna sa aking magulang
At ikaw ay isang bata pa rin
Di dapat na lumagay sa magaling
Ang isa'y wala kang kahit kusing
Paanong tayo ay mabubuhay sa paggiliw
Ah ewan oh kay kulit mo naman
Ah ewan sa akin ay maghintay
At sa'yong pag-ibig na alay
Aking masasabi palaging ah ewan
At ikaw ay isang bata pa rin
Di dapat na lumagay sa magaling
Ang isa'y wala kang kahit kusing
Paanong tayo ay mabubuhay sa paggiliw
Ah ewan oh kay kulit mo naman
Ah ewan sa akin ay maghintay
At sa'yong pag-ibig na alay
Aking masasabi palaging ah ewan
Aking masasabi palaging
Ah ewan
