It’s a few minutes to midnight as I write this while listening to Us by Ruby Ibarra ft. Rocky Rivera, Klassy, & Faith Santilla. All day I have been working to set up this blog, the latest out of many. […]
Let's face it. We as Filipinos love music. It is one of those traits that run through our blood and culture that stems back to pre-colonial times, as we danced and sang while working in the fields, completed rituals of planting and harvest, before a raid, and during celebrations. Even the Spaniards noted our affinity with the sounds of music. Today, the majority of the world acknowledges the musical talents and passion of Filipinos. I for one love grabbing a karaoke mic and singing my heart out in any of the Filipino parties I attend, having a good laugh surrounded by family, friends, food, and drinks. Cheers!
This blog is dedicated to the ancestors, the spirits of the land, the rich and diverse history and cultures of the Philippines, and to her people.
May we continue to seek out the knowledge and to learn more about who we are, our histories, identities, and stories. And upon learning these histories, folklore, and culture for ourselves, may we continue to teach and pass them on to the next and future generations.
Salamat for reading!
