George Masangkay Canseco (23 April 1934 in Naic, Cavite, Philippines - 19 November 2004 in Manilla, Philippines) was a Filipino song composer.

Canseco studied liberal arts at University of the East. After graduation, he worked for the Philippines Herald and the Associated Press as a journalist, a scriptwriter for the Manila Broadcasting Company, and a news director at Eagle Broadcasting Corporation. Canseco began devoting himself to writing music when Martial Law was imposed in 1972.

He wrote for Sharon Cuneta and Basil Valdez, and his songs were also recorded by Regine Velasquez, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Pilita Corrales, Martin Nievera, and Kuh Ledesma. Rey Valera was a lyicist of two of Canseco's songs. Canseco wrote a song in English entitled "Songs" exclusively for Amapola in her first album under the Vicor Music Corporation Pioneer Label. Canseco's best known composition, however, was "Child", the English-language version of Freddie Aguilar's signature song "Anák".

Canseco credited film producer and Vicor Music Corporation owner Vic del Rosario for "my biggest break in the music industry." He became president of the Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP) in 1973, and was elected a Councillor for the Fourth District of Quezon City in 1988.

  1. hi, a nice collection you have here! by any chance, would you have a copy of the FIRST RELEASE of george canseco's song "ikaw" which was an ENGLISH VERSION? if you do, maybe you share to the world the lyrics of the english version which was a failed recording at the time it was made? i believe it's time has come now (the english version) to be shared to the world. i only came to know about the english version here:

    "Years ago, I was fortunate enough to catch the composer of this Filipino classic, Mr. George Canseco jamming with Atty. Rudy Francisco at the piano, in the old Hyatt Hotel . The great Canseco described how the first release of this song was done in an English version and sold only 5 copies! He said it became a hit only when he translated it into Tagalog. "
