Jolina is the second studio album by Filipino singer and actress Jolina Magdangal released by Star Music on January 9, 1999. The album consists mostly of passionate, easy-listening love songs, a style of music quite popular in the Philippines.[1] Five of the tracks on the album were originally used as soundtrack in various movies she starred to which include "Tameme" and "Sana'y Kapiling Ka" in the film F.L.A.M.E.S.: The Movie (1997), the re-recorded "T.L. Ako Sa'yo" and her cover of "Tulak Ng Bibig, Kabig Ng Dibdib" in Kung Ayaw Mo, Huwag Mo! (1998), and "Kapag Ako Ay Nagmahal" in Labs Kita... Okey Ka Lang? (1998).[1] The only American song remake in the album is the studio recording of Anita Bryant-original "Paper Roses" which Magdangal sung on a drama anthology television program, Maalaala Mo Kaya.[1]

The opening song "Laging Tapat" was the first single released from the album which remained in the list of top radio charts nationwide for over 10 weeks.[2] The follow-up single was her version of "Paper Roses", which became an instant favorite in the Philippines.[2]

On October 1, 1999, the album was awarded with a 4× platinum certification[3] by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) and was officially declared by PARI as the biggest commercial success and the biggest seller of the year 1999 in the Philippines.[4] Eventually, it was certified with a 7× platinum for achieving more than 280,000+ units sales[5] and became one of the best selling albums of all time in the Philippines.
