Trese: 13 Pinoy music moments you can find in Youtube

Disclaimer: The quality of some of the videos (and audio) here might not be that good. I’m only trying to highlight the moments, not the videos themselves. For me, these are epic moments that make me wish i was there when they happened. Oh, and I do not own any of these videos. Game!

1.Bamboo jams with the current (2012) rivermaya - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M8E56LEm38

Yea yeah, di pa rin ‘to yung original maya pero nakaka taas pa rin ng balahibo seeing Mark Escueta and Bamboo jamming Rivermaya hits with the equally talented guitarts, Mike Elgar

2. Sandwich - Wag mo na Sana
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgKsNbQmUIc

Sandwich singing a Gary V Song. nuff said!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJXBLaOyT_o

5. Dodong Cruz - Boys Dont Cry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfU3Zwtk_E4

6.Saturn Return - Raimund Marasigan and Ely Buendia. Ely’s XL party

7. Yosha - Tukso Tower Sessions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ueu5IT1ykM

8. Francis versus Teddy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTqjx7gVxW0

Ok, this one is more of a compilation rather than a moment. But still worth watching. It’s Teddy Diaz, the Dawn’s original guitarist and Francis Reyes, one of the guitar greats, also was a part of the Dawn

9. Perf de Castro’s tribute to FrancisM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXeudKETLVo&

10. Tulad ng dati showdown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9tYW44nXk9A#t=109s

This video is illegal.hehe But you should see this before mawala ‘to online. Tulad ng Dati is a half fiction - half true to life story of the Dawn. This scene features the band and a “rival” band featuring Karl Roy. Please release a DVD soon so people can buy.


11. Tuyo nang Damdamin - Eraserheads Nescafe Open up party - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1zYzQSHQug&context=C42bb20fADvjVQa1PpcFPY1IMDz2F9JgP2kaFG7JLrZCCX5mw6wEs=

If you’re not familiar with the Nescafe Open up Party. Eto ung concert featuring a 90’s band with a 70s/80s artist (Hanopol-Rivermaya, APO-Heads, Sampaguita-True Faith). This song was not included in the Live Album so sulit na na may video pa!

12. Saranggola sa Ulan - Jimmy Bondoc Gary Granada
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9tYW44nXk9A#t=109s

I always feel that we should give tribute to composers/artists like Gary Granada. and here’s one. Thanks Jimmy!

Trese: 13 OPM songs of my life (so far)

May mga kanta na minsan nasasabi nating naging soundtrack ng buhay natin. Eto yung mga kanta na kapag naririnig natin e may naaalala tayong isang moment na connected dun sa kanta. Eto yung sakin, nilista ko, konting kwento na rin

1. Sabihin mo - Smokey Montain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp1NCYAx0V0
Grade 1 ako nito, Sumali ako sa Singing contest eto kinanta ko. Kuya ko pa nagturo nito kasi may casette yata sya ng Smokey Mountain. Nanalo ako 3rd place. Siguro dahil sa message ng kanta hehe.

“Sabihin man ng lolo mo, Ika’y Kastila at Kano
Pagmasdan mo ang kutis mo, kulay lupa walang kasing ganda”

2. Without your love - Ariel Rivera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZyao5Y2pvQ
Grade 3 naman ako nito. Dahil nga akala ko e magaling ako kumanta, nagprisinta yung nanay ko na kumanta ako sa Tuklungan. 1st verse pa lang e pumiyok na ko. At inulit ko pa nung second verse

“Only yesterday when we’re together
I never thought your love for me will fade away”
(dito ako pumiyok hehe)

3. With a smile - Eraseheads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtqAUOxwh-k&ob=av2n
Disclaimer: past is past
Ito yung kanta ko para sa first girlfriend ko. yun lang, wala nang kwento baka ma-trobol pa tayo hehe
“We’ll get by with a Smile”

4. Harana - Parokya ni Edgar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0IJ476miow
Battle of the bands,1st year High School. Dahil hindi namin mabuo buo yung Iisang Bangka Tayo ng the Dawn, nagdecide kami na ito na lang ang kantahin days before magsimula yung contest. So gumawa kami ng duet band version nito. Naka abot naman kami sa finals

“Sino ba ‘tong mukhang gagong nagkandarapa sa pagkanta
At nasisintunado sa kaba”

5. Awit ng Kabataan - Rivermaya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YtvP3OpyQA
Battle of the bands uli. Sa labas naman ng school. Actually city-wide contest sya. Dahil akala namin e magaling na kami, sumali kaming mga High school students sa contest na kalaban e mga semi-pro na na mga banda. Nanalo e mga estudyante rin na kumanta naman ng Ever Since the World began

“Kung gusto nyo  kaming sigawan, bakit hindi nyo subukan
Lalo lang kayong hindi maiintindihan”

6. Till I found you - Freestyle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li_7Vv4SnxE
Battle of the bands na naman. Balik school na, 2nd year. First time ko mag keyboards sa labas ng bahay namin (may solo part pa). Seryosohang voicing na din ‘to

“I never had somebody I could lean on
I never had a shoulder I could cry on till I found you baby
Till I found you…”

7. Boyfriend kong Baduy - Cinderella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6if6bSfc1Q
Ok last na ‘to sa Battle of the bands. Pero yea, eto tinira namin sa gitna ng 90’s. Ako yung kumakanta ng “ooooohhh la lala”

“Sya ay in na in pero out pa rin”

8. Ligaya - Eraserheads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gigNSBaTgrM
College naman. First and only gig ko with a band. Dapat mga Incubus and The Used yung lineup namin. Kaso di daw bagay sakin yung mga English songs so nag all Eheads set na lang kami. at eto paborito ko. Dahil dun, ito na rin ang default videoke song ko hanggang ngayon

“Tatlong oras na akong nagpapa-cute sa’yo
Di mo man lang napapansin ang bagong tshirt ko”

9. Cagayan - Popgun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m1vDERxCF4 (the Haneps version)
College uli, nanghiram ako ng CD sa kaklase ko. Singles yung pangalan, OST yata ng isang TV show. This song stuck with me hanggang sa magtrabaho na ko. after almost 10 years, ngayon ko lang nalaman yung original artist = Popgun

“Nasan ka na o aking baybeh?”


10. Eddie - The Members http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLt_iY62OjI
One of the most famous office songs sa trabaho ko. Nung konti pa lang kami at isa lang ang source of music namin, pag pinatugtog mo ‘to, sabay sabay kaming kakanta sa Chorus “Si Eddie! sinong Eddie?”.  Pangalan ng boss namin e Eduardo, at yung isa pang boss, Medy naman yung pangalan. Masayang tugtugin to pag nasstress kami sa trabaho haha

11. Alapaap - Eraserheads (The Reunion version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oALvsqgTlDw&feature=fvst
2008, nakabili na ko ng ticket ng eraserheads. Gabi pa yung concert pero alas tres pa lang andun na kami para asa harap kami ng Silver area. gutom at init yun ‘pre. Ironic kasi first ever Eheads concert ko yun, pero reunion na. Edi nag countdown na nga, tapos pumalo na ng drums, tapos yung riff na at etong kanta na to ang una nilang kinanta. Lahat kami dun nakikikanta, memorized! First song pa lang, fireworks agad! Fanboy moment yun, di ko makakalimutan. hinding hindi… Lalo na dalawang beses ako lumabas dun sa DVD hehe

“Gusto mo bang sumama?”

12. Kasalanan - 6 cycle mind feat. Gloc 9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pFNT2HtV40&ob=av3n
Ilang beses na rin akong nakapag byahe sa ibang bansa, padala ng opisina. Minsan napunta kami sa New York at walang tigil na namasyal basta may oras sa labas ng trabaho. Syempre NY yun, marami kang makikitang iba’t ibang klaseng babae, kahit hindi ka maghanap. At pag napapatingin kami ng mga kaOpisina ko ng mga chicks e lagi namin tong kinakanta bilang pag alala na hanggang tingin lang kami dahil may mga girlfriend kami sa Pinas hehe

“Patawarin mo ako sa akig nagawang kasalanan”

13. Your Universe- Rico Blanco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr33jn6hN0c&feature=relmfu
Disclaimer: cheesy
Kung may ex girlfriend, eto naman ang sa present girlfriend (yihee). ‘Di sya fan ng OPM, di ko pa rin sya na iimpluwensyahan, pero gusto namin ‘tong kantang ‘to. Di ko na maalala kung bakit. Basta lagi ko ‘tong kinakanta sa kanya pag matutulog na sya over the phone or pag nag aaway kami. Minsan tumatalab, minsan hindi hehe

“you can thank your stars all you want but Ill always be the lucky one”


Kayo din, kwntuhan nyo ko. Kahit hindi trese. Pwede lima o sampu o dalawampu.
email nyo ko: doihave2join@gmail.com tapos post din natin dito kwento ‘nyo.

Trese: 13 ideas I have on how we can save OPM

Some might say that it’s a chicken n egg thing. No good materials because people don’t support them. People don’t support them because there are no good materials. 

1. We should have All-OPM fm stations or at least programs. Thanks Jam 88.3 (every Saturday)

2. Record stores, PLEASE put the OPM racks in front of the store. I always have to look for them in the corner or in a hidden place.

3. Movies should use more OPM songs in their soundtrack . Not just one (usually revived) song and play it over and over with different versions lang

4. People should recognize that supporting OPM is not limited to supporting OPM bands. There are a lot of artists that play different types of music.

5. TV should feature more Filipino artists. Let the host be the host and let the other artists share their music

6. Productions should organize more tribute gigs. Gary Granada night, anyone?

7. Annual songwriting contests. Thank you http://www.philpop.com.ph/

8. Other regions/cities should have venues and programs for  their local artists. Not necessarily to make it mainstream. but having your own local music scene would be very cool

9. Continue to sell old music form the 70s,80s and 90s. Thanks http://www.opm2go.com/

10. Stop producing albums with actors/hosts/ non-singers singing all cover songs. We don’t care what their favorite songs are. If they really want to sing, hire decent composers for them.
Yes Willie is kinda doing it right (except for #5)

11. Indie artists should be active online so they can reach more people.

12. More concerts for Filipino artists. I’m talking about producing and supporting

13. We should recognize that Hindi porke’t tagalog yung kanta e baduy na. Grow up people.

Trese: 13 of the Saddest OPM Songs ever written

1. Saranggola Sa ulan - Gary Granada
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9uYabt2bnY 
“Ngunit hindi hihindian and puso kong kont natuto na’ng magpalipad ng saranggola sa ulan”

 2. I don’t love you anymore - Lea Salonga and Ariel Rivera (Can’t remember the original)

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssniMBe28FU

“I don’t love you anymore (Don’t do this to me)”

3. Kandila - Sugarfree

Trese: My Top 13 Filipino Composers/Lyricists

(Not in Any Order)

1. Dong Abay (Banal na Aso,Senti,Mateo Singko) -  Makikita mo ang Pilipinas sa mga kanta nya at mapapaisip ka.

2. Gary Granada(Pag nananalo ang Ginebra, Mabuti pa sila, Saranggola sa Ulan) -  For me, he IS the best. Kaya ka nyang patawanin at paiyakin ng sabay.

3. Ely Buendia(Pare Ko, Overdrive, Ang Huling El Bimbo) -  Yes, I am an Eheads fan. Sa sobrang lawak ng mga kwento nya, pwede mong isipin na tungkol sa ‘yo yung kanta

4. Ryan Cayabyab(Limang Dipang Tao,Da Coconut Nut,Tuwing Umuulan) -  The Classics.Nuff said

5. Jim Paredes(Batang Bata ka pa, Nakapagtataka,Tuyo Nang Damdamin) - Unique concepts. Yung mga tono, ang layo ng naaabot  

6. Danny Javier(Di na natuto,Kabilugan ng buwan,pumapatak ang ulan) - Poetic pero sagad yung patama 

7. Rey Valera (Kahit Maputi na nag buhok ko,Mr. DJ, Pangako sa’yo) - Perfect example of simple lang pero malupet

8. Ebe Dancel (Burnout,Mariposa,Telepono) - Gaya ng lagi kong sinasabi: “Salamat sa lahat ng nanakit kay Ebe Dancel, kayo ang dahilan kung bakit sobrang gaganda ng mga kanta nya”. You can actually feel the sadness and the heartbreak (emo)

9. Jimmy Antiporda(Anak ng Pasig, Makita kang Muli,Cold Summer nights) - I bet you didn’t know that. Cheesy but still,classics in each genre 

10.Snaffu Rigor (Macho Gwapito,Bulag Pipi Bingi,TL ako sa’yo) - Yup he is my bet for karaoke songs

11.Marvic Sotto (Ipagpatawad mo, Rock Baby Rock,Bakit ba ganyan) - He just owned that era

12.Rico Blanco (214,Awit ng Kabataan, Umaaraw Umuulan) - He wrote a lot of the anthem songs of the 90’s up to present

13.Gary Valenciano(Di Bale na lang, Eto na Naman, Sana Maulit Muli) - Those dance songs and ballads in the 80’s and 90’s that we still sing until now? Those are his songs

Marami pa, di kasya sa 13. This would probably have a part 2. But my dream is to have someone to write something like this after 10-20 years. Hopefully a longer list. With the same people here (Because these people and their songs should be remembered forever) and a number of people from my generation and the future generation. Oo magaling tayo mag revive or gumawa ng sarili nating rendition. Pero magaling din tayo gumawa ng Orig. Mabuhay OPM

Trese: 13 things I can say about the Eraserheads

1. 70s was Juan dela Cruz, 80s was the Dawn, 90s was Eraserheads, 2000 is debatable (Sugarfree?),2010s we’ll see. But no one was and will ever be as big as the heads.

2. Some say that their early music was simple and they are not as talented then. I disagree, specially when you hear Buddy Zabala’s bassline and read their lyrics

3. You will definitely hear a few hints of the Beatles in their music but they are not the Beatles of the Philippines. They are THE Eraserheads.

4. Name another pinoy band na nag co star sa pelikula (ni Joey de Leon)

5. Name another pinoy band logo na mas sikat o kasing-sikat ng inverted E

6. Fruitcake is the rock equivalent of Christmas in our hearts.

7. With a Smile was one of the greats but it’s a little bit awkward. (“with a smaheeeyl” and “fetch you everyday”)

8. “Mapapatawad mo ba ako, kung hindi ko sinunod ang gusto mo”. I can identify a number of people that I know na matatamaan sa linyang ‘to. Kasama na ko dun.

9. You can always relate their songs to your life. Kahit malayo sa real meaning ng kanta.

 10. The music we didnt appreciate in their latter years are the ones we are loving now from the newer bands. They were way ahead of the generation then.

 11. Their reunion concerts were the only Eraserheads concerts/live perfomance that I have seen

12. Though I also watched the second, it could have been better if the first Reunion concert was the only one they had.ever.

13. Everytime I go out of the country, I always make sure I wear the Eheads reunion shirt. That’s my way of saying na Pinoy ako.

Trese: 13 things I can say about Bob Ong

1. Kakatapos ko lang magbasa ng “Lumayo ka nga sa akin”

2. Nakakatawa naman yung “Lumayo ka nga sa akin” kaso kelangan ba talaga magpatawa sa bawat sentence?

3. “ABNKKBSNPLA Ko” was the first book but “Bakit Baligtad” started it all for Bob Ong

4. Di ako nakatulog pagkatapos ko magbasa ng “Mac Arthur”. First serious book and it was sooo disturbing (meaning, effective)

5. di ko natapos “yung Mama Susan”, hinagis ko yung libro sa takot

6. “Kapitan Sino”: overkill ng 80’s-90’s references.Yun lang ang naaalala ko tungkol sa libro

7. Maganda yung concept ng “Alamat ng Gubat”. Kakaiba at risky but I think he pulled it off

8. Mas steady si Bob Ong sa pagpapatawa kesa sa seryosong kwentuhan 

9. Personally, parag ayoko na magbasa ng libro na di ko naman alam kung totoong tao ba talaga yung nagsusulat

10. Minsan ko nang binalak na mag Online campaign para iBoycott ang mga libro nya hangga’t di sya nagpapakilala

11. Ilan kaya sa mga twitter/fb followers nya ang bumibili talaga ng libro nya? 

12. So isang tao lang ba yung nagsusulat ng bawat libro at nagpPost sa twitter?

13. Hindi sya si Lourd. sigurado ako dun.

Trese: 13 things I can say about Asiong Salonga: Manila Kingpin Movie

1. Spoiler alert!

2. I dont need to watch the other films para maniwala na ito nga ang Best Picture. Still has a lot flaws but a pretty good film.

3. Oo kakaiba. Pero kung same concept din sa mga susunod na pasko (kwento ng kriminal, black and white,same actor), e wala na rin syang kaibahan sa mga paulit ulit na pelikula. Wag naman sana

4. If you’re a fan of 90’s Action movies, then that’s already a plus for nostalgia (John Regala, Joko Diaz, Roi Vinzon, Dennis Padilla)

5. Just like the other pinoy films, yung bida steady lang pero dinaan sa bigat ng supporting cast

6. I’m not sure if he’s just playing the part, pero ang likot ng kamay ni Gov.

7. Galing ni Baron Geisler. Umaakting kahit nakabalot sa sako.

8. Buhay pa sana si Ketchup kung di sya nag bisikleta.

9. Wala pang sinasabi si John Regala, maiinis ka na sa kanya.

10. Astig si Amay Bisaya!

11. Kung icCut din naman yung audio ng mura, sana di na lang din pinakita yung buka ng bibig. Medyo weird e

12. Sana dinamihan pa yung dugo, black and white naman e 

13. Masaya ako na may magagaling pa rin na aktor sa henerasyon ko. Di lang puro pogi
