SB19 X Farlight 84 "Heroes of Light" lyric video

[mahikamihan]

Alamat "ILY ILY" is beautiful

hi, I'm just gonna write something quick to process my thoughts and analysis bc this MV and the song is so good and dense with message.

For some vague contexts, OFWs or overseas filipino workers, are often heralded as “Bagong Bayani” (trans. the new heroes)  as they bring in millions of pesos every year to help with expenses and living costs back home. As of Nov 8 2022, $1 (US dollar) = roughly Php 58 (Philippine peso). I’m not sure how it’s changed over the years, but in 2010-14, at least for me, Php 50 can buy you an entire lunch meal in school.

ILY ILY is a multi-genre song by Alamat with the melody originally from a Hiligaynon folk lullaby "Ili Ili tulog Anay". I believe the song itself talks a lot about the sacrifices OFW parents make for the financial security and comfort of their children back in the motherland (Philippines). And the subsequent emotional consequences and psychological effects these have on the family. The irony of ILY ILY also doubles as "i love you, i love you" is not lost on me.

Starting off strong! "Ano ba?? Ganyan ka na lang pala!" -very common scolding terms, especially from a older guardian or parental figures.

"Hindi ka ba nag-iisip na may naghihirap doon..." - kind of guilt-tripping the child for crying, being angry, or generally just not feeling happy by bringing up their working parents (likely OFWs) and their sacrifices; generally an unhealthy way of soothing someone's frustrations over neglect or dissatisfaction.

I love how money comes out of the cake. Usually another way to soothe their children, is by bringing in more money, for more comfort. But that doesn't phase Lyca (the female singer).

presents for the children... again, to make up for not being their for their birthday or whatever missed celebrations (especially during formative years of their childhood)

I'm trying to figure out which specific Filipino festival this is refering to. I know a few filo street festivals that reenact the Passion of Christ (ex. Sinulog, Moriones, Salibatbat, etc.) which sometimes includes self-whipping, which the crown, candles, and ropes here are symbolizing.

The lyrics are so on point,

Gabi-gabi at umaga (every night, and every day) Pangungulila ang dama (feeling bereaved, "ulila"="orphan", which is on theme) Hihintayin ang araw na (waiting for the day) Tayo'y magsasama-sama ([where] we all get together)

This is supposed to remind you of the sacrifices people make for love.

^^^Can someone tell me what these are referencing? I feel like this is supposed to be something from a filipino film or something similar, but I'm blanking on where it might be.

I love the direct parallel of the filipino kid having a yaya (maid/ domestic helper) back home while the parent is the housekeeper in a different country. Just *chefs kiss* GENIUS!!🤌🤌

the lyrics shows how much the child/children cares about their parents. in the midst of happiness and abundance around Lyca, she can't help but miss her mom and dad.

Island Maid - from a quick online search, it's a domestic helper agency in Singapore. Upon looking into their website, they hire Filipino workers trained under Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Beside R-Ji is a balikbayan box, large cardbord boxes used to deliver souvenirs, gifts, clothes, furniture, and other things back to the country.

The lyrics now talk about how the child (R-Ji) aspires one day to be the one to work so they can bring their parents back home. (And, in a way, isn't that a tragic cycle of poverty and capitalism? Parents have to work away to bring money and food home, and the child has to work in order to bring their parents back home.)

Very powerful imagery. The waste, the anger, the sadness, the loneliness, while surrounded by presents, money, comfort.

Sacrifices, all in the name of family and love.

I love this part. From what I've gathered, in here, Taneo talks (in Ilokano) to the tone of an eldest sibling, about how he's going to take care [of you] for now. The lyrics shift the emotional burden of parenting to a fellow child, with the parents abroad and likely, unavailable. He throws paper airplanes made of paper money out the window while an airplane (parents?) flies in the back. Lost childhood maybe?

Another strong imagery. Money in a kaldero (used to cook food, usually rice, stew, and other filipino cuisine) while everyone is situated in a Boodle Fight (eating tradition where food is served on top of banana leaves).

"they've been gone too long so I'll be your Dad and Mom for now", again referencing about the physical and emotional unavailability of parents that older siblings or family members have to take on to fill that gap.

"'Nang, 'tang, muli na kayu" (Mom, dad, please go home)

At the emotional crux of the song, the lines said over the "telephone" sound is so poignant. They need their parents to go home. But instead...

...All they got were more Balikbayan boxes.

...and all they can do is fight over who gets them. Empty boxes. empty gifts of love. God, I love this song. Stream ILY ILY.

Maybe it’s time I admit that Tord is a,,,fav?? Character of mine????

Question marks because I don’t love him like how I see Tord fans do, not like how I wanna smooch Paul eddsworld in the face every hour of every day, I like to….bully him, I wanna throw him against a wall and curb stomp him, I wanna see that man beat up, in distress, and under constant mental anguish

I anti-love him ig idk LMAO, by consequence I’m acquainted with many actual Tord lovers

NEW TROLL TRIBES???

Very very much entertained by the idea of introducing new genres in the DreamWorks trolls world solely for the fact that I like imagining how the canon tribes react to their existence. I like the idea of a new genre of music that diverges from how the main tribes interpret their music (which you can see with the tags below)

Also it might just be me but if OPM (Original Pinoy Music) exists there (lmao just pushing the Filo rep agenda here), I can imagine them just being yet another Trollstopia but smaller bc DANG this genre of music has EVERYTHINGGGGG

Well that and recent singles have this very unique sound with the likes of Pagsamo, Mahika, Pano (a personal fav), Pasilyo, Habang Buhay and much more. I have no idea if this kind of music is a subgenre of its own but something about it just scratches my brain, which says a lot bc despite being Filipino I actually don't listen to OPM very often

Anyways this was a shitty rant like I have so much to say abt this but I also feel like the details are all over the place

PLS PLS PLS SHARE UR THOUGHTS BRAINSTORM WITH ME I NEED TO KNOW I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS

BALITANG HANEP: Lead Singer of Enhypen attempts to try a Filipino Fast Food Chain in Metro Manila?

MANILA, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- Korean pop lead singer and individual boy band group of ENHYPEN named Yang Jungwon attempts to try a fast food chain in our country during a Manifesto world tour at the ShoeMart Mall of Asia (SM-MoA) Arena in Pasay City, Metro Manila, National Capital Region.

Social medias have obtained a screengrab from a disclosed fan post of WeVerse, created by South Korean entertainment company Hybe Corporation, one Korean netizen suggests is to try the Philippine's best fast food chain known as Jollibee. We have no word for what menu is like to order as awaiting for its first Filipino fast food endorsement for the ENGENE fans.

Following after the final leg of Manila as L'Officiel Magazine News reported, Jungwon opens your suggestions regardless of the fast food chain, travel, customs, culture, and other stuff outside the K-Pop industry, if you have ONLY a WeVerse account. OneNETnews cannot independently verify the authenticity of the said social media screengrab.

I-Land debuted ENHYPEN in mid-September 2020, a survival reality show organised by Belift Lab, a joint venture between the South Korean entertainment companies of CJ E&M and Hybe Corporation. Jungwon is part of the said pop boy band individual.

Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) in the Philippines will soon unlock its partnership with ENHYPEN. But there is a catch... If Jungwon approves to travel in Metro Manila, after he was personally set a Manifesto tour (per suggestion from a WeVerse Korean netizen), the Filipino fans of K-Pop overjoyed themselves to promote a fast food brand and having its first meet and greet experience of a lifetime. He will soon become the world's first endorsement of Asia.

Filipino fast food chain Jollibee will soon welcome the aforesaid country since the Manifesto tour had now been officially ended and proceeding the next K-Pop music tour real soon in 2023.
