I like how the song builds up emotion that a lot of us can relate to. Then finally, when the instrumental part starts, "Darating sa buhay mo pag-ibig na laan sa 'yo at mamahalin ka niya nang higit sa maibibigay ko" gives a lot of hope and makes you understand that it's probably not your time yet and just be patient. This applies not only to love, but to a lot of things in life.

Oh my heart! I did not know the back story of "paalam na." Nakakaiyak pala solid 😢 All i knew is i like that song when i was in 6th grade! And i so love Ms. Rachel! ... Glad to know also that Jane Provido is soaring high as a performer in the US. I used to call her my kambal when we were in highschool bec our birthdates are 1 day apart. Thank you for this podcast video! More power!

Rachel has a point. Naisip ko na yan since 2005 na dapat nag full support na ang Phil Gov't sa lahat ng artists ng Pilipinas. Kayang kaya eh.

@PacosPlace 5 ай бұрын

We totally agree! To think that every Filipino is very talented in the arts.

@iamdee2615 5 ай бұрын

Oo nga noh, imagine Filipino known around the world with world class talent pero kulang s suporta ng gobyerno. It’s like if one talent succeed , you’re on your own. Kaya di mahirap makausad...pero kapag sinaBing Pinoy tested and proven, ang talent at talino ng Pinoy. Sa laki ng budget ng gobyerno san ba talaga napupnta, not political, pero kulang s suporta both financially and morally.

Rachel is such a smart and intelligent woman, and most of all, she's a beautiful soul! I visited SoKor in 2011 for a residency training. One of the training staff asked me: What can you say about the Korean invasion? Then she explained what she meant. It made me appear clueless. I lacked that awareness, at first, but on hindsight, yeah, it's like an invasion, a socio-cultural & economic invasion. But what startled me was her (including majority of Koreans) labeling it so. And I realized it was a deliberate effort by the whole of SoKor government.

In terms of drama.. kdramas naman talaga ang unang nagdala sa korea's entertainment industry, sumunod nalang na notice yung mga boy groups and girl groups nila... yung dramas natin.. need nagimprove.. grabe makaluma.. puro negativity. Umay to max na.. so dapat talaga maimprove na din ang talent ng pinoy sa entertainment field.

Hi, just wanna share my suggestion na pwedeng content nyo na unique, since matagal na ko nag hahanap ng gantong content, kaso wala tlaga kahit saan. Suggest ko sana yung about naman sa mga musicians na may super duper highly potential na original songs na hindi alam kung anong step ang gagawin nila how to get in sa music industry kasi walang koneksyon or hindi kaya walang sapat na budget para i push yung originals nila at para ma guide din sila ano ba ang tamang pakikipag transac sa mga record labels/company or managers kasi maraming mga ganyan ang abusado, nalulugi ang mga artist sa deal na pinapasok nila kaso problema huli na nila na realized ang lahat kasi nakapag sign na sila ng contract. Mahabang usapin kasi yan at sobrang helpful para sa mga aspiring local artists lalu sa mga hesitant at walang direction pa. THANK YOU! SANA MAPANSIN NYO PO ETO.

The problem is that the composers and producers in the country only targets the “masa” who are the main consumers of the entertainment scene. Unfortunately, these songs will not prosper in the foreign market unlike the kpop. I think it is the responsibility of the producers and composers in our country to educate our masa by introducing them to music that can be also appreciated in the foreign market. Even in our singing competitions, the winners are those that will click in the masa like the birit songs. Take note the Koreans don’tbmake birit but their songs became very popular internationally. Just my thought.
