Amapola's first compilation album, Songs and Amapola was released under the Pioneer Label of Vicor Music Corporation and 

included all of Amapola's 1971–72 hit singles.[4] All tracks were written and performed by D'Amarillo and his orchestra. 

Vocal Coach: Phillip Maninang. The album's back cover featured George Canseco's poem: "Ode To Amapola










Television and writing
Amapola hosted "Amapola Presents Show" a weekly TV variety show at KEMO-TV (now KOFY) in San Francisco, which she hosted from 

1978 to 1981. She regularly performed on Manila television shows such as Stop, Look, Listen (as one of the weekly hosts), Eat 

Bulaga!, Superstar, Seeing Stars, Etchos Lang and Live with Pops and Martin throughout the 1980s.



Amapola was discovered by Espiridion Laxa who signed her up with Tagalog Ilang-Ilang Productions for three films. She 

co-starred with Victor Wood in: "Mr. Lonely" in 1972 and "You Are My Destiny" in 1973. Both films were directed by Leonardo 

L. Garcia and written by Rico Bello Omagap. Casting for the third film "I Went To Your Wedding" was changed when Amapola 

began her USA tour in Honolulu, Hawaii.

In 2003, Amapola published Coming Home, her first novel. Coming Home won the Florida Writers Association's Palm Award for 

'Romantic Fiction' and was a finalist for 'Best Fiction' of 2004 in Foreword Magazine. In 2005, she published Promising 

Skies, which received critical acclaim from New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh

Viking Sea and Royal Viking Sun, and sang with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, Bob Crosby and the 

Bobcats and the Mitch Kerper Orchestra. In 1990, Amapola played the role of Bloody Mary in the RVL Sun’s Theater production
