I was out of town for a week and couldn't access Tumblr, but the MyShake app on my phone was going wild for a couple of days with the multiple big quakes out of Mindanao. I'm not finding much in the news about it, which is surprising. I see you're still posting, but I just wanted to make sure you guys were okay.

Thanks for checking in! We're fine; we're on Luzon, one of the northernmost of the bigger islands, whereas Mindanoa is WAY south

hi! just concerned, are u still alive???

hi bestie u wont believe the past few weeks that I had!

PHIVOLCS records 88 volcanic quakes in Taal Volcano - Jul.18 | which lead to another semi eruption -> ashfall later in that week 😒

Bagyong Fabian (Typhoon In-Fa) strengthens from a Tropical Storm into a Typhoon - Jul.20 | prior to this, Hanging Habagat (Southwest Monsoon) was already bringing isolated rains but this mfker really pulled a 180° and brought nonstop rains WHICH almost stranded me otw home during the one (1) day i decide to go to the church for a visit. Not to mention net blew out, and even using data sucked :')

Magnitude 6.7 earthquake hits Luzon, followed by another Magnitude 5.8 quake - Jul. 24 | hit around 4:50 - 5:00 ish am, and honestly it was one of the weirdest things to experience thanks to sleep deprivation 2.0 AND UNFORTUNATELY downed the remaining cell signals in my area, so u can imagine the withdrawal I was going thru

Worked thru my stuff but honestly even with all that time, I still have a lot to do too

AND there's still raining going on thanks to the monsoon season and honestly my sleep pattern could best be described as a coma by this point, but i digress. this aint even the worst of it coz:

Delta Variant officially recorded entering the PH + 1st confirmed death - Jul.16 | bestie hELP

so. debatably yea, still alive

but god. at what cost

On Young Kapampangan Hip Hop Artist Kego, Quakes, and Unshakable Communities

On April 22, 2019 at around 5:00 in the afternoon, a magnitude-6.1 earthquake upset northern Philippines. The earthquake was tectonic making it larger than the usual volcanic earthquakes.

The earthquake's epicenter was located in Zambales,and because of this, areas in Central Luzon experienced great damage and casualties.

Rising up from to aide fellow Kapampangans was Kego, a young hip hop artist and his friends. Read his story here.

1. How old are you and where in Pampanga are you from?

I'm 26 years old, from the City of Angels, Angeles City, Pampanga.

2. What got you interested in hip hop and what do you do get better at your craft?

There's more than 1 reason why I got hooked with Hip hop both as a fan and as an artist. Music is definitely one of them, second would be the fashion but those are just some of the reasons why Hip hop got my interest.

(Photo by Liel Japzon)

When you say Hip hop, it isn't just music, there's a whole culture and community behind it. Besides its music, hip hop comes with a lot of things such as fashion, attitude, character, language, the sports that are connected to it, street knowledge and street business, those are just some of the many things behind hip hop.

If you live by its music only, you won't really understand much, but if you live by its culture then you'll see the real meaning of hip hop and the culture behind it. Hip hop is a lifestyle and to some, they treat it like its a religion. I live by its culture and I apply it on my everyday life and that's where I mold my craft as an artist/songwriter.

4. Who are your influences?

I grew up listening to Andrew E. and Gloc 9, but as I grew older living in USA and Japan I saw a wide selection of artists that I could listen to. Back in middle school I listened to Kanye West a lot, but moving up to High School and learning new things in life I started listening to various artists such as Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole and Mac Miller. Now in my recent years I listen to Asap Rocky, Asap Ferg, Madeintyo, $uicideboy$ and that's just to name a few.

5. Tell us about the relief efforts for the victims of 6.1 magnitude earthquake on April 22.

As soon as I heard the news that the people in Porac,Pampanga were in need of help and assistance, I wanted to help out, but I couldn't do it alone, so I told my crew about it. Jonas, our manager was the first person I talked to, I told him about my plan for Porac and he instantly came up with an idea of raising funds for the victims in Porac.

(Photo from Kego Rivera's phone camera)

Jonas and I went to Porac to check on those who were in need of help. Everyone in the crew agreed to push through with the project. We came up with a fundraising event that consists of musical acts and art exhibits. A number of donors and sponsors and artists reached out to us to help out. The City Hall assigned us to reach out to 75 families, and we managed to come up with 100 packs of relief goods, good for a hundred families.

Everything felt good from the start, from organizing the event to packing to distribution. It was all from the heart. Helping others fulfills my basic needs such as happiness, and stress relief. I make sure that my actions make a positive difference. I think that doing these things will give myself a more meaningful life.

6. Where can people catch you perform?

I normally perform live in small events with my crew, We've had bigger events but we usually stick within the underground scene in Hip hop here in the Philippines.

7. Any websites, social media channels or events you'd like to promote?

If you guys want to see me perform, you guys should visit Bawal Clan's Pampanga visit on June 1, 2019. I will be performing with my crew, Southeastmob.

To listen to my songs, you can search me up online or on the internet, just type "Kego". My songs are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube and other digital music platforms.

Day Eight.

Today, I saw about ten kids in a tiny inflatable pool laid down on a sidewalk, basking in the noontime heat.

I miss simpler days.

EDIT (6:26PM):

About an hour ago, I felt an earthquake while I was treating my patient. It lasted for about 10 seconds, while the headache that lingered stayed for 10 minutes more.

Now, walking along EDSA already looks catastrophic - okay, that is a bit of an exaggeration, however, all train systems are down and people are literally crowding the streets.

Luzon quakes, but our world stops.
