I'm currently hooked to a song from the Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs album. It is the first time I really enjoyed listening to Pop music playing with Tagalog words, for its thoughtful stanzas and ear worm-initiating beats.

There's musical identity in Kahit Na, which is performed by Tonig Gonzaga. The distinction is clearly visible in the style of the music video and the way of putting emphasis on certain words. I hope more P-Pop songs turn to huge hits in the Philippines. Apparently, we need more of these - suitable to jumpstarting the evolution of musikang Pinoy and raising our inclination towards our own talents!
Oh, and of course, there's UP - the ever admirable university that brings about nostalgia. The sense of belonging tingles till the very fin.
