4. "Leron, Leron Sinta": Another notable song by Kasilag is this traditional children's song. She arranged it for choir, giving it a more sophisticated and harmonious sound while maintaining its playful character.
5. "Ang Pamulinawen" (The Song of the Sampaguita): This song, composed in collaboration with National Artist for Literature Jose Garcia Villa, is a tribute to the sampaguita, the national flower of the Philippines. It is a delicate and fragrant melody that captures the beauty and symbolism of the flower.
6. "Pandanggo sa Ilaw" (Dance with the Light): Kasilag arranged this traditional folk dance from Bohol for the Philippine Madrigal Singers. It features lively and cheerful rhythms, capturing the joyful spirit of the dance.
