Well I listened to them all. Seriously. Well let's say I started to listen to them all The best for me was no.1 - GLOC-9 feat. Ebe Dancel - Sirena Second was no.4 - Quest - Sige Lang I didn't even manage to finish any others. I must be getting old. They certainly gave me something I needed....... Their absence.
I quite like some Pinoy Rock so the heavier ones while not wonderful were ok, I tend to agree with your choices though Peter, I am not usually a fan of rap style tracks but number 1 was an excellent song with a very strong liberal message and one I could not disagree with, number 4 was not bad either, I enjoyed the first one number 10 simply because it's a modern feel good track, good dance music.
Number 1 is a good track to show to people asking what Filipino pop music is like, very western influenced and easy on the ears.
And at least it is about a serious subject, the prejudice against bakla's (gays) in families, which is a big issue over there. Does not surface that much especially in the cities where you appear to see a lot of tolerance, but amongst the ordinary men it can be a big issue. (my tagalog is not great but between the symbolism of the video and the words I can understand I think I got the gist)
