Re: ☼ PILIPINAS / THE PHILIPPINES ★ WV 71 ★ ??? ★

Hullo everyone!

For the first time since the very first WorldVision took place in Rio de Janeiro four years ago, the Philippines will be finally rejoining in harmony alongside sixty-plus countries and regions in the next edition, making it one of the few Southeast Asian countries to compete after a long hiatus (hopefully replacing Vietnam as the only competing Southeast Asian country).

Though I'm still technically the Maltese juror as of this edition, I'm undertaking preparations for the Philippines' first-ever NF. For the next edition, a 70s folk-rock classic from one band will be sent. And I'm happy to announce that our NF spotlight belongs to...



The Asin ("Salt" in Tagalog language, originally called "Salt of the Earth") NF will contain 6 of their best hits selected by my own hands. Those "mystery six" will be revealed immediately after the semi 3 results, at Freedom Room.

Looking forward for your thoughts!

Re: ☼ PILIPINAS / THE PHILIPPINES ★ WV 71 ★ ASIN NF - LL TODAY AT 20:00 CET @ FREEDOM ROOM! ★

:ph: WV 71 - Asin NF :ph:

R-968001-1178834907.jpeg.jpg



Welcome all to the Philippines' very first NF featuring the 70s folk-rock band Asin. Here you can find six of their songs selected with care, however, due to unexpected technical difficulty during the LL, one song has been changed. Originally "Hangin" was going to include in this NF but has been replaced with "Usok".

Here are the six:

1. "Pagbabalik"
This tender little song speaks of home, especially from a Filipino living in a foreign country. A touch of a rondalla adds to the lively folkish home scene.



2. "Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran"
The signature song of them is in dedication to the Pasig River (which is now polluted) and carries a tender but strong message about the environment.



3. "Balita"
This song depicts the tragedies that are happening in the conflicts in Mindanao. The final chorus of the song is a mixture of Hiligaynon in the first two lines, and Cebuano in the last two lines, translated from the Tagalog chorus of the song. It was the basis for Black Eyed Peas' "The Apl Song" - trivia: one member of the Black Eyed Peas is a Filipino.



4. "Usok"
The replacement for "Hangin" due to technical difficulty during the LL. This song speaks of "smoke", which is a likelihood of vanity of life.


5. "Ikaw Kayo Tayo"
The most upbeat of the six that makes you wanna dance all the way to the 70s scene in Manila.



6. "Itanong Mo Sa Mga Bata"
The most tender of them all, speaking of children.
P.S. It reminds me of the WV69 Israeli entry "Ad Machar."



How to vote:
12-8-6-4-2-1 (12 for the most fave, 1 for the least fave)

Send your votes to me, Eulaliya. The deadline is based on the WV 71 schedule as always: one or two days before the entry submission deadline.

Have fun listening to the songs and voting!

Thank you for voting:

Lyrics (Translation coming eventually)

Ikaw ba'y nalulungkot?
Ikaw ba'y nag-iisa?
Walang kaibigan
Walang kasama

Ikaw ba'y nalilito?
Pag-iisip mo'y nagugulo
Sa buhay ng tao
Sa takbo ng buhay mo

Ikaw ba'y isang mayaman?
O ika'y isang mahirap lang?
Sinong sa inyong dalawa
Ang mas nahihirapan?

Masdan mo ang mga bata
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ikaw ba'y walang nakikita
Sa takbo ng buhay nila?

Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang buhay ay inahawak nila
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang sagot ay 'yong makikita

Ikaw ba'y ang tao
Walang pakialam sa mundo?
Ngunit ang katotohanan
Ikaw ba'y naguguluhan?

Tayo ay naglalakbay
Habol natin ang buhay
Ngunit ang maging bata ba'y tulay
Tungo sa hanap nating buhay?

Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang aral sa kanila makukuha
Ano nga ba ang gagawin
Sa buhay na hindi naman sa atin?

Itanong mo sa mga bata
Itanong mo sa mga bata
Ano ang kanilang makikita
Sa buhay na hawak nila?

Masdan mo ang mga bata
Sila ang tunay na pinagpala
Kaya dapat nating pahalagahan
Dapat din kaya'y kainggitan

Masdan mo ang mga bata
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ikaw ba'y walang nakikita
Sa takbo ng buhay nila?

Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang buhay ay inahawak nila
Masdan mo ang mga bata
Ang sagot ay 'yong makikita

Re: ☼ PILIPINAS / THE PHILIPPINES ★ WV 71 ★ ASIN - ITANONG MO SA MGA BATA ★

Beautiful entryxheart I really liked all the Asin songs you offered us, but had a bit of a stronger leaning towards my top 3 here. "Itanong Mo Sa Mga Bata" really slayed your NF, which is a great sign. Sad to see "Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran" so low though. Would have been lovely to have a song with that wonderfully charming country flavour at WorldVision, but anyway, i've got my fingers crossed for you and this one you're sending. When I sent my favourite band from the 60s/70s, The Velvet Underground & Nico, I managed to scrape through by a single point and it was a great feeling (my favourite WV moment in fact). I believe in Asin. The song you're sending is so beautiful and this is a real wonderful WorldVision discovery I must thank you for. I feel like I want to explore their discography.

Wonderful entry! xlove I'm so glad this won. Even though I gave 12 points to the wonderful Balita, this could easily have been my 12 pointer as well. xbow

It all sounds great! :D The folk song and/or instrumental edition sounds particularly awesome! xbow I know Lea Salonga mostly as the English voice of Jasmine in Aladdin, but curious to hear her other musical work! :)

For our next entry: Since the next edition will take place in anticipation for the Christmas season, it will be a special holiday gift to all of you wonderful supporters!xlove

As for revealing the mystery artist, I'm thinking of reviving the Hangman game (which I once used when I was Malta juror) or go on for any other guessing game. And one of the candidates will be Twenty Questions or something interesting. What do you think?
