What’s your favorite P-POP Song & MV? 🤔 Comment down below! It’s been a while since we last had Filipinos react to P-POP! Hope you guys enjoyed this episode! 💜

ALAMAT is that group whose concept really stands out when there are conversations about Filipino identity in the borrowed "idol" formula in the industry. I'm glad they are getting more "casuals" to pay attention. The talent is there. Everyone in the group is an all-rounder. Just listen to their new PASULONG album. Each song is a BOP and layered with Filipino references. High time we stan ALAMAT, yallz

One reason why I appreciate Alamat so much is...alam niyo na yun, hehe. Sana magtagumpay talaga PPOP!

ALAMAT is that "boutique" brand that doesn't try to export to other countries, but other countries get a taste and come to find it. BGYO and BINI definitely have a programmed goal of reaching the international stage. But like El said, intentional or not, they will gain fans by simply being authentic.

I love how ALAMAT includes different Filipino languages and culture in their songs and mvs. ❣

started listening to alamat and i think im gonna stan them now😭

maraming salamat po sa pag-feature sa Alamat 🤎 deserve nilang lahat na ma-share sa mga kapwa Pilipino! PPOP RISE! 💖

Alamat! I started stanning this group just 2 weeks ago and got addicted to their songs... Hoping for their song 'Maharani' to have a music video.... ❤️❤️❤️ Anyways, let's support P-POP...❤️❤️❤️

Wahhh I love ALAMAT! THE BEST UNDERRATED PPOP GROUP OUT THERE!

The group pop formula is a universal formula w/c has been everywhere since the 90s, but has been made immensely popular by kpop. If we go track our steps further, Sexbomb girls could easily be seen as one of the pioneers! Hahaha Thank you for including Aswang here. It is always fun to see how people appreciate the sipsipin ang dugo't buto't laman gamit ang mabalasik na dila! Sana sa paglabas ng Maharani masama ulit sa reaction 🤎 Kudos to Alamat, Bini, BGYO & the rest of the ppop community for taking risks & producing good pop music! I think we are entering the peak ppop era ^_^

tawang-tawa ako dun sa reaction nila sa lyrics ng aswang 😆 "sipsipin talaga?" wahahaha ganiyan na ganiyan ako nung una kong narinig 'yung lyrics. as a casual listener ng Alamat super happy ako na marinig 'yung mga good feedback sa kanila sa vid na 'to

Alamat is always servin' us with culture! 🤎🤎🤎

In terms of vocals, ALAMAT talaga. 👌🫶

8:11 Nakakahawa po ang tawa niya😂Same po shooketh din ako sa lyrics ng Aswang by Alamat. Sana mag react din kayo sa ILY ILY or Say U Love Me.

Thank you for including #Alamat

What sealed the deal with Alamat for me was when I listened to Kbye and I realized na their "promoting Filipino culture" concept isn't just window dressing for them; it's weaved into the fabric of the group's identity. Like when I see/hear people commenting that ppop is just a poor imitation of kpop, I don't have the same knee-jerk defensiveness that other ppop fans immediately fall into bcos like. I see it. I hear it. Like we can all argue that everything is influenced by other things and kpop also draws from other country's music but the fact of it is, the ppop sound as it stands right now isn't just heavily influenced by kpop, it also follows their formula almost to the letter, sometimes even to the point of distorting Filipino pronunciations to fit the beat and cadence of the song if it was written in Korean. And I think to deny that would really mean dooming ppop to simply being the poorer version of kpop. I don't mind being called a hater for this bcos I think a fan's only responsibility to the artist/s they're supporting is NOT actually to stream their music nonstop 24/7 to artificially blow up their views on youtube, but to demand better from them and for them and to push them into evolving their sound. It's like I said that one time re: a plagiarism issue about another ppop artist, if kpop copies from western artists, and we copy from kpop, what does that make us? We are a derivative of a derivative. If we're going to copy, we have to be so good at it that we eclipse the original, which is going to be a hard task bcos kpop has spent years perfecting and evolving their formula. I don't doubt that ppop artists has it in them to do this given time and support, but in the meantime there is the other option, which is to draw from our own homegrown music and evolve them for modern audiences. Thus, Alamat. Anyone can wave the Philippine flag and wear barong and sing about how "we are just as good as other races!!" like this has been the theme of our music since time immemorial you can probably name a genre and there'd be a pinoy artist there singing about how proud they are of their nose and brown skin. But it's one thing to sing pithy lyrics about pinoy pride to a tune that is very much foreign-sounding and would alienate, say, a Filipino audience who isn't into kpop or western pop music, and another to actually incorporate traditional Filipino instruments, to draw from Filipino ballads, rap, rock, pop songs (genres that Pinoys have already established and evolved their own sound in) and even folk music into their soundscape. The latter is where Alamat is at right now. Listen to kbye. Listen to ILY ILY and the rest of Pasulong. Listen to their renditions of Maldita's Porque, Jaya's Wala Na Bang Pag-Ibig, The Juans' Hindi Tayo Pwede. They're cut from a whole different bolt of cloth, one probably made of abaca or piña fibers.

Alamat really captures the true essence of Ppop

Alamat is the only group that I know who can pull concepts like that

Would love to have you all react to the pasulong album of Alamat ✊🏻🤎

BINI really is something else! They're amazing to watch. Everything they do is satisfying! For Ppop GG, I'm for BINI and for BG I'm for Alamat!

Thanks for including ALAMAT in this reaction!

Omg! BINI ang galing talaga, tama si el. Ang ganda ng strings sa live lalo na yung may names nila kasi nag attend ako ng album showcase ng bini at grabi, ang lit ng BINI at co-blooms ko dahil sinisigaw namin yung mga names nila. As in napaka-lit

The Bini members looks like models, who can sing and dance,♥️

WOW ALAMAT 🤩🤩🤩

the Alamat for me

Alamat aswang is jusrt the BEST it needs recognition it deserved I hope they prmote it better

Thank you for having ALAMAT, BINI and BGYO

ALAMAT 🤎🤎🤎

ALAMAT ❤️❤️❤️❤️

14:26 Hi! International P-Pop listener here 🙋‍♀ I agree with you 100% I do not want songs in English, I want them in Philippine languages. Your languages are SO BEAUTIFUL I want to hear more of them. Huuuuge fan of Alamat because I get to learn so much from them and their music is fire ♥

Out of these three, Aswang by Alamat stood out for me. I love their EP. Stream their 'Pasulong' EP!!!

more po! reaction naman ng kpop fans sa mga songs/mvs ng alamat. mas maganda kung malaman nilang iba’t ibang languages ang ginagamit ng group.

omg go ALAMAT!

ALAMAT 💖

Love your last words EL, really we shouldn't be competing now. We should strengthen the genre PPOP for it to be recognized and to be loved by the locals. #PPOPRise

Tagal nang may ppop even before sumikat ang kpop sa pinas. :) minsan the so-called “kpop formula” is just skincare and a well-produced MV lol. Sana we can expand our mindset and realize na these newer groups, and even kpop groups themselves, draw inspiration from all over the world haha. Props to the kuya who mentioned that. Great insight!

Alamat Pasulong Album 💯🔥🔥

ALAMAT!!!!

It surprises me that the first two reactors thought BGYO were more Filipino than Alamat, when I can't think of any other P-Pop group that's *more* Filipino than Alamat. I love both groups but Alamat's entire concept is basically to be as Filipino as possible, lol - their MV concepts, the subject matter of their songs, their clothing, the different languages they use... it's all based on Filipino culture and history. I mean, the song they reacted to was about an aswang and the members were even wearing agimat and barongs! Props to the second and third guys for pointing out that all pop music, including kpop, is influenced by music from other places too. It's really disheartening to continually see Filipinos dismiss P-Pop as a poor imitation of kpop, when the quality of the music, MVs and actual talent is just as good (if not better) as anything that comes out of Korea. I keep seeing people saying stuff like 'it sounds too much like kpop' or 'they're just copying the Koreans', or asking 'what makes it P-Pop and not fake kpop?' It's P-Pop because it's pop music produced and performed by Filipinos, in the Philippines, using Philippine languages. Why isn't that enough?

I was there when bini Album Showcase and yung strings pag napanuod mo sya ng live performance grabe solid intro palang killing part na.

Thank you po! BGYO BINI and Alamat 💕

El have my words exaclty. Your thoughts in the end is very fruitful and concise.

Thank you for reacting my top 3 favorite Ppop artists. Ppop rise!❤❤❤♠️🌸❤️🇵🇭

Thank you po for reacting bgyo and bini

I like them all.. BINI stood out to me tho

Nation’s Girl Group #BINI

I hope more Filipino Kpop Stans can support Ppop, because it’s really out here trying to represent the talented side of Filipinos while putting a touch of their culture into it, not simply just to be another kpop as some have said before. In BGYO and BINIs case, if you look deeper into them, they seem more western kind of vibe than kpop, and I think that’s what sets them apart from the genre. I see that they were trying to find a distinction between Ppop and kpop and I just want to specifically say that Bini’s Strings wasn’t the best example. It’s one of their best produced MVs, but people still associate its aesthetics with kpop.

Its so nice to hear casuals appreciate different ppop groups. Stans usually bash other groups just to lift up their faves. I love ppop, and i support all of them. They are all talented!

Yes I agree on your reactions, good comments, their songs are more inspirational & motivational Bini's songs they incorporate the Filipino culture, listen to Pit A Pat they injected in their choreo our Filipino street game & our iconic folk dances in a new genre in this millennial era, react to BGYO's na ew song Magnet,etc. Thank you for being proud to be a Filipino & proud of our culture & heritage, you're a true Filipino.let's promote PPop Rise yes we have the talent & beauty to show the world. God bless to All..

thank you for your reactions to BINI and for featuring them in this video!

Sending love from the ACEs to the EL's Planet and my eunnies and oppas!

Love these ppop groups!!!

Thank you so much po for appreciating BGYO and BINI!

I agree to Sir who says "Ppop must have their own formula." But he can't distinguish yet the difference between Ppop and Kpop, that's why you have to strim, Sir!

I also love how the fans actually distinguish the super "kpop" influenced group from those with touch of Filipino. Like how Alamat is very trendy and although Bini takes on more of the kpop style, yung song nila na sumikat talaga is very Filipino

YUNG REAKSYON NILA SA ALAMAT HAHAHAHAHA akala ko lang, buti na lang at hindi ako nag-iisa 🙉🙈

Bini and Bgyo sings live not all the time but they do. So that is that edge Ppop and iba talaga ang blending ng Ppop. Sometimes I can almost hear them more western sounding. Just that with their choreo and the way they market very kpopish.

Goosebumps for BINI yesss indeed ❤❤

ALAMAT will make P-Pop rise istg their music is on another level

THANKYOU KUYA EL!!

BINI strings

Thank you guys!!! Love the last guy comment!!! Just support all ppop group song and we will go further in this world!!

Let them react to BINI's album

I suggest considering the dark concept you should put the song "magnet" instead of panaginip. It's only my suggestion. Comparison wise. Thanks for reacting to bgyo, Bini and alamat. Stan ppop guys.

Eiiiiii I missed this 🤗🥰 thank you El 🥰 Sana there's a version for Foreigners since daming bagong songs ngaun... There are videos of MAHARANI by ALAMAT or their ILY-ILY, then NO FEAR or for a change HUWAG MUNA TAYONG UMUWI (One Music PH version) by BINI, tapos syempre MAGNET by BGYO 🥰🤗

My multi-stan heart! ❤😍

To the man who says it sound like Kpop. It's a dance beat, how you want to sing it? Do you want them to do ballad all the time to be Filipino? Hirap mo i-satisfy.

Yesss stan Ppop!!!

Hope that you ca react too on "MAGNET" by bgyo po..thank you

Aswanggggg grabe din

Bini strings omg!

Aswang supremacy ✨✨

ALAMAT wins hehe. 😍

Im here for ALAMAT only

Good reactions & comments, yes love our own PPop is rising nowadays, they are ready for world stage, at least we have our own PPop thank you for all comments & appreciating PPop artists, let's all be us one..

I don't know how that one guy could compare alamat to kpop, like, did you just miss the point of the song!? 😭

ASWANG SOTY

Ang gagaling nila magComment and magShare ng input.

Sorry, but that spectacled guy in black seems to be a fanatic of KPop. Based on the reasoning, ginawa niyang standard ng Pop music ang KPop. Hayst. And answering "What's the formula of PPop?" I think, it's the inclusivity and diversity. That's all.

i'm really glad na hindi ako nag-iisang naiinis sa isa lol

Strings by BINI parang ginawa talaga para iperform ng live na may pa fan chant pa sa huli...tska JPOP inspired ang MV ng BINI hindi KPOP kasi medyo anime siya.

My fave ppop is Anak of Freddie Aguilar in 80's, Smokey Mountain and Geneva Cruz in 90's and Sarah G's Kilometro in 2000's.

Bini On the Rise now Proud of our Girls

sana magnet nalng yung ginamit para sa bgyo ang ganda kasi non

This is a really good channel. The content is well planned, the invited reactors are great. Amazing work!

i really like Alamat dahil pinoy na pinoy ang datingan

love #BGYO and #BINI MVs and songs… aside from the productions and concepts, the great message incorporated. for me, it’s not enough if the song is poppish or having a mere connection from its beats… its the essence and the message that influences other people, whether its in filipino or english language 😉🌀🌸

Bini

BINI for me is still super underrated. I really hope they can get more songs and promotions

Agree. I speak Tagalog, but honestly, I'm not confident to say I am fluent, because I do not understand some of the tagalog lyrics as it's too profound (malalim). And I can only grasp some words in Ilocano. But when I listen to Alamat's songs, I really don't feel the need to go through the lyrics to know what they are singing in Bisaya, Waraywaray, Kapampangan, Hiligaynon and Bikolano. Why? Coz we don't care if a song is sung in a language we don't understand. What matters is that we connect to the song and the artist, because music is after all, a universal language every race can understand.

BGYO and BINI has international potential

Thank you el!

Filipino should understand that ppop will take time to available to create or develop their own sound. Ilan lng ba ang magaling n music producer sa bansa?

Alamat is one of a kind.

BINI!!!!!

BINI BGYO!!!!

Pls react to magnet!!

Para sa akin walang kaso kung English or Tagalog ang lyrics basta maganda ang message ng kanta.

2:08 bruh... di na sila mukang pinoy sheshhh daming mga ibang lahi na nag sasabi nyan kapag good looking yung pinoy/pinay na nakita nila, dapat ng ibahin yung mindset na yan kasi nakaka offend.. kapag matangos,singkit,matangkad o bilog yung mata di na pinoy? ano ba yung pure pinoy pango,malaki mata,pandak parang di mo alam pinag mulan mo o baka kala mo sa pinoy kamuka mo lahat bro asian tayo at pati sa korea di sila lahat mga good looking people yung iba nga busangot yung ilong

12:20 "Ppop. They're carrying our Filipino language and culture as well." ✨🇵🇭✨ 12:58 "Hindi na sya yong typical na tinitipid o minamadali." ✨ Totoo po.
