#190603-215605-463000 -- the submission is partially approved. 
I assume this case is not so easy to find evidence for, because Himala (1982) remains to be a masterpiece between professional critics but is not so popular for larger audience

The IMDb editors might be astonished at the uncredited performer that I've submitted for the song "Maybe This Year" (moreover any performers are not mentioned in the end credits). This song was initially written for Edna Savage and is mostly known under her great performance. But in this movie we hear another performance that was and maybe still remains the most popular for Philippines.

Nora Aunor playing the main character in this movie is also known as a great singer. And she performed this song for "Let Me Try Again" (1975), one of her 25 studio albums. So, there is no wonder or "himala" (miracle) that one of her performances is included when she is the main actress.

How to check if that is her performance. Well, not so easy if you have no opportunity to compare between three sources. But it is feasible:
  1. Listen to Edna Savage performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jri5zKwMJr8);
  2. Listen to Nora Aunor performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDiG6zfFHY4);
  3. Listen to the movie sound from 61:48 to 62:10, where "Maybe This Year" is the background sound (sorry, no public links found);
  4. Compare which one of the first two matches the third in-movie performance.
This fact is not yet fixed in the correspondent sections on the wiki-page of Nora Aunor:
Soundtrack albums
Movie, TV show and stage play theme songs

No problem yet. 
It's a preventive measure to help the staff. 
Such was not effective earlier, but who knows this time. And I had a free minute to explain more. Thanks.

Hi MAthePA -

Thanks for the additional information, as of today the two 'uncredited' items are still pending review and should be processed shortly.  As Will mentioned above, if you find that the items are declined, please let us know here and we can take another look.
