Our Top 5 Hits for tonight are somehow connected to what just shocked the Philippines and the whole world. What the heck? It's more fun in in the Philippines! ^_^ Kudos to all Filipinos who, amidst the flood, still showed courage and humor. I daresay our spirits are WATERPROOF!
MUMOMOMENT HIT # 5 PAGSUBOK by ORIENT PEARL
They made noise in the late 90s not only because of their music but because of Naldy Padilla being involved with the lovely Karla Estrada. I am chismosa much. ^_^
The band was formed in 1993 with Naldy Padilla on vocals, Leo Awatin on lead guitar, Egan Bamberger on bass and Ritch Raymundo on drums. A lot of changes in the line-up later, the band settling with Ryan Gomez on bass and Dexter Panlilio on keyboards.For years, different guys manned the drums until they picked JB Mendrano to be the official drummer, often referred to as "permanent sessionist."
FAVE LINES: Ang buhay ay sadyang ganyan | Sulirani'y di mapigilan | Itanim mo lang sa 'yong pusong | Kaya mo yan....
FILIPINO FACT: Like any other race, we contemplate on the situation. We cry, we hate, we take the pain. What makes us different, though, is that we still smile when there's a camera. Look, our whole neighborhood is flooded but wait, there's a camera on the left. Pan and wave! SMILE MUNA!
What makes us beautiful is that we lighten up our burden. We know the issue -- we crack a joke about it and then move on... because we know we can make it through.
MUMOMOMENT HIT # 4 HANGGANG MAY PAG-IBIG by APO HIKING SOCIETY
They didn't conquer the noon-time slot but they conquered our hearts with their songs. The songs are so popular that there is a musicale arranged to pay tribute to APO. Oh yeah! And an upcoming movie!
The Apolinario Mabini Hiking Society, later popularly known as Apo Hiking Society or, simply, Apo, was a Filipino musical group. The group had its fledgling beginnings in 1969 at the Ateneo de Manila high school, with thirteen members. After graduation, the majority of its members left to pursue individual careers, with only three members remaining, made up of Jim Paredes, Boboy Garovillo and Danny Javier.
FAVE LINES: Kwento ng ating buhay | Ay parang isang nobela | Kwento ng kasayahan | Kung minsan ay kalungkutan
FILIPINO FACT: We love loving. Do I have to explain why? Check out the stats on population. LOL
MUMOMOMENT HIT # 3 SANA by FLORANTE
An OPM tribute is not a tribute without any of Florante's songs.
I really thought his birth certificate was incomplete. His last name is actually de Leon. He was a pioneer and leading exponent of Pinoy folk rock. Even though a folk singer, Florante also became a part of the 1970s Manila sound. Manila sound also gave birth to songs which give pride to Filipinos.
FAVE LINES: Sana ang tao'y hindi nagugutom o nauuhaw | Sana'y hindi na gumagabi o umaaraw | Sana ay walang tag-init, sana ay walang taglamig
FILIPINO FACT: We dream big. We make sure that we set a goal and continue the hard work even if it seemed farfetched. We persevere. We conquer. We fly.
MUMOMOMENT HIT # 2 KANLUNGAN by NOEL CABANGON
He makes a great contribution to the Manila Sound. He describes himself as a simpleng musikero even if he has already toured the world.
He was actually a member of Buklod, a group formed in 1988 with Rom Dongeto and Rene Boncocan. An offshoot of the progressive activist musicians' organization Bukluran ng Musikero Para sa Bayan, Buklod was a favorite performer at rallies and picket lines.
Their relationship was harmonious, but the group eventually disbanded following the split in the leftist movement between the reaffirmists (RA) (those who continued to believe in protracted armed struggle) and the rejectionists (RJ) (or those who rejected the protracted armed struggle).
Noel is a rejectionist.
FAVE LINES: Lumilipas ang panahon | Kabiyak ng ating gunita | Ang mga puno’t halaman | Bakit kailangang lumisan?
FILIPINO FACT: We never forget great memories. We cherish them as if they just happened recently. I also hope we all learn from past mistakes, too. No to trash! :)
MUMOMOMENT HIT # 1 TAYO'Y MGA PINOY by HEBER BARTOLOME (EDRU & FRANCIS M M LIVE - MGA AWIT NI HEBER 1992)
For me, Heber Bartolome is one of the greatest musicians the Philippines has ever produced. I specifically chose the tribute version because this video boasts Filipino music and culture. Other than the master composer, this also showcased the late Master Rapper's love of the country.
He is a folk and folk rock singer, songwriter, composer, poet, guitarist, bandurria player, bluesman, and painter. His music was influenced by the “stylistic tradition” of Philippine folk and religious melodies. He was the founder of Banyuhay, a "protest band" that carried the trademark sound of the kubing, a native musical instrument in the Philippines. His compositions were described as a “unique synthesis of rock and blues, and Philippine ethnic rhythms”.
FAVE LINES: Tayo'y mga Pinoy | Tayo'y hindi Kano | 'Wag kang mahihiya | Kung ang ilong mo ay pango
FILIPINO FACT: We are very proud to be PINOY! (Well, some are not but we don't really care about them)
