Dahil sa quarantine Kung San San nku napadpad. Pero dto sa mga Foreign singing Filipino Folk songs ang Pinaka na appreciate ko. 😍 😍 😍

When foreigners appreciate Filipino songs and the Filipino Millenials forget this kind of music

The New Zealand version is peformed by my high school choir at Macleans College in Auckland! Great memories!

Kantahin ng Nanay ko yan noong bata pa ako ( 75 yrs na ako ngayon) maraming sa inyong tumangkilik ng awiting Pilipino. We love u all. God bless

As a filipino,I'm so proud to hear other nations sings our very own song.They sang it perfectly.

And yet some Filipinos are trying to be Koreans and forget the beauty of Filipino music and melody.

To those unaware, they're singing a retro style of Filipino music. It's operatic kundiman. Considering that they had to perform as a choir, that requires a lot of technique. Listening to the audio alone, they sound like an authentic Filipino group singing.

I can't imagine visayan folkloric songs are so popular in every difderent choirs in the world. I am so proud. How I wish to be part of a choir

Both choirs did such an excellent job! Mabuhay!

Respect to both choirs: NZ and Romania, doing justice to a much loved Filipino folksong👌👏

Wow,,, it's so nice to hear Filipino Folks song sung by foreigner... To God be the glory Filipinas... Thanks for singing our songs.

BOTH PERFORMANCES ARE GREAT. ROMANIA gave a traditional rendition and evoked the emotions and memories of this cultural experience while New Zealand's performance is clearly a modern adaptation. The tempo is more of the modern and fast pace performance, typical of a fast and rush story telling. Almost like a rap song. But this song could not be for a rap piece. The song is a story teller telling a story about two individuals in their town. It is common ìn the olden times in the Phillippines especially berween a rural lass and city boy, where a man cannot just approach a woman. He has to go through a third party or through the family to court a girl that he likes or through a family member if they do not know each other. The story begins about the woman or the lady named Rosas Pandan who came to town to participate in an event with her talent to sing a "BALITAW". A Balitaw is telling a story in a song and dance. Dodong was an expectator of this contest and was captivated by her performance. So the story goes. The NZ performance was a play of rhythm, and tempo but it did not do the job of laying of the elements for a possible romance. It cannot be hurried. if the story is about saving a life, or catching with a loved one who is leaving. then the fast tempo is justified but the story is about the start of a possible budding romance or a matchmaker's prospect. So. if the criteria is about I understanding the song and performing the intention of the song. Then Romania got it for me.

Only bisaya knows..... 😁 The song is about a guy drooling for a beautiful girl from the mountains or farm field.

Romania was full bodied sound New Zealand was clean and concise. Beautiful

TO ALL OF YOU MA'AM AND SIR,THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SINGING OUR SONG SA KABUKIRAN..IM SO PROUD OF IT.😍

Everyone who've been to choir knows that its a challenge to sing foreign song, much more if its a folk song. Ambo Hato is also a good example. I've been into a choral group during my college days. Both groups got a good arrangement of Rosas Pandan, a beloved folk song from Cebu, which was written as part of a zarsuela. I speak bisaya and I appreciate so much thier effort to sing the song, and speak the words like a local.

Both of them are equal, singing those Kundiman song in their own dialect is verry hard salute and respect to both country👌👌👌

I am a Filipino from Mindanao. They really pronounced the word so perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

Sikat na talaga si rosas pandan. Sana balang araw makita at makamayan ko sya.

A visayan song. OMG. grabe naman kc talaga musicality ng Philippine Songs.

I swear! If I had my eyes closed listening to NZ and Romania I'd say they were both Filipinos singing.

This is a deep bisayan song. When they pronounce the lyrics they sound so native💗 proud boholana here!

Nakakahiya naman sa kanila ...di ko naririnig ito sa Pinas.

I have chills listening to this music that was performed by foreigners and realizing how beautiful our music is. Kudos to my Filipino musicians who composed this masterspiece. Mabuhay po ang Musikang Pilipino

Every race is unique. No one is more special than the other.

I'm so happy that theres a international singing a Filipino songs

I love Romania's rendition better. Both are fantastic by the way.

New Zealand perform the song clean, and nice like a lullaby with the thought of asking someone's permission of love. On the other hand, Romania made it more upbeat which makes a terrifying sound that would wake someone sleeping and gives the idea to fought for someone you love. Excellent, I'm happy that other races sing our songs. 🤗

Omg that's bisaya. They pronounce it well without their accent. Okay I'm watching 👁👄👁

New generation pinoy dont know that song.. Praise Romania choir.

Ang galing ng pangkakanta nila sa Romania. Nagustuhan ng husto ng audience kasi ang ganda talaga ng rithym ng kantang ito. Ang galing talaga kasi ng mga kantang pang baryo sa Pilipinas. Mahilig kasi at magaling kumanta ang mga ninuno natin kaya ganun.

I'm a filipino and I should say this is the best version i've ever heard of this song. Well done! 😊❤

Bisaya song nice and proud thank you from Philippines.

I’m having goosebumps listening to this, brings tears to my eyes.. both countries are fantastic 👏👏👏

Ang galing Naman nila..nakakaproud kahit hindi sila pinoy..

As a native speaker of this language (Cebuano/Bisaya), it feels nostalgic. I used to hear my grandparents sing this.

Thank you for appreciating and performing a choral rendition of one of our best loved Filipino musical compositions.

AWESOME PERFORMANCE 🎉❤ Proud to be a hardworking Filipino. 🇵🇭 🇳🇿

They are all great and awesome round of applause for these kidos and thank you for singing our songs

Romania's interpretation is more like Philippines. I find them the winner!

I am a pilipino from visayas fil. as i hear, the romanian is clearly pranounced of visayan words,thank you for singing our classic song.

ROSAS PANDAN! So proud to hear this piece on the international stage! Back in high school we used to sing this in competitions too. One of my favorites.

Wow ! I'm very proud of my bisaya ancestors in the Philippines to hear this songs , Believe in me some of the Filipino youngster now don't even understand the very old bisaya words.

Proud to be pure Bisaya. Struggling to hold back my tears. Watching from Lanao del Norte, Mindanao, Philippines on 19 March 2023.

Love it!! & proud to be a Filipino myself!! Very happy that these international choirs singing this cultural song of my country Philippines 🇵🇭 🙌🏽👏🏽❤️

Being a Filipino who can understand Visaya, All I Can say is they're both excellent..👏👏👏👏

I am a filipino and i appreciate that the foreigners appreciated our filipino folk songs. God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

BOTH SINGING GROUP ARE VERY VERY GOOD,CONGRATULATIONS.

New Zealand interpretation is almost the same with the original while Romanian is the modernized version but both are really good.

they are just like a supercars Lamborghini and Ferrari they are both best

Smile! Filipinos singing this piece would give you that joy and fun that should accompany the festive mood of this song. It's a story of a girl going down countryside to participate in the "fiesta."

Kanamit guid sang Akon pamatyag maka paminaw ning anindot nga kanta... nga vinisaya..

BRAVO! i so appreciate this becuz i am a visayan!lipay kaayo makadungog ug foreigner gakanta ug usa ka Filipino visayan song. if my dad were alive, he is a visayan., with these age of facebook and youtube, he would have enjoyed this. my dad is a good musician. plays the piano, accordion, flute, harmonica, guitar well. so proud of my dad.

The Maestra looks like Ms. Pilita Corales... :D

both new zealand and romania sings perfectly....i really love them...

When foreigners sing the Philippine folk songs we like it very much, because we heard our very own song with much gusto...it made our hearts happy...

Its a previleged of the Philippines that they had their version too.

Mabuhay! Both choirs did justice to a classic Filipino song!

Got goosebumps hearing foreigners singing our songs. They did justice to our song.

New Zealand students and Romanian chior signing the Filipino folk song Rosas pandan proud Filipino here 🇵🇭🇳🇿🇷🇴

Superb, amazing and breathtaking so beautiful specialy the harmony and dynamics. God bless

New Zealand is pure vocals while Romania is mixed with beat. Reason why they say it was modernized.

Love both country singing this amazing filipino folk song. Salute to all singers and the conductors. God bless and spread the love

Without looking at them it seems Filipino singers are singing, so beautifully rendered. I can't believe foreigners are singing our songs just like pure native Filipinos, so amazing.👍💞🎶

Ugh! Rosas Pandan. Such a wonderful experience to the ears but when you’re part of the performance ensemble, the practice hours and concentration effort is always over the roof. 9-voice ranges, strategic vocal rollercoasters, vocal exhaustion..... such a wonderful experience always, hands down.

Wow a Cebuano language from the Philippines.thank you for singing our song.

What goosebump watching as a filipino - visayan listening to this angelous sound of visayan song❤❤❤ph🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Both did great! Outstanding performances

Very astounding and powerful song from Philippines.. ❤️ to singers and performers

It give me goshbumps ❤❤❤👍👍🎉🎉🎉just enjoying and happy that other country sings better than our own

As a Filipino I'm proud to know that our folksongs are favorite competition piece in foreign lands Mabuhay Pilipinas!

Goose bumps. Proud and happy to hear my country's song. Thank you for patronizing our music.
