Mama Filipina
While watching Mama Filipina, I kept telling myself: Philippines is beautiful...
"I remember how we used to begrowing up in the land of poverty
now you gotta leave home
to feed the family
gotta make it in the land of opportunity"
Those lines are from 'Mama Filipina', a cut from 'U Can Dream' album of Allan Pineda Lindo, popularly known as apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas.
...and we are a gifted race.
The song was directed by Michael B. Chait and released by Jeepney Music, apl.de.ap's own recording company, which also features other Asian American singers.I've this looming thought: the shots for this video...were they taken in the Philippines, or the US? I'm not sure. Just the same, I'm welling up with pride watching Mama Filipina. I'm pretty sure you will too.
(Thanks to Madz Nicolas for introducing me to this video).
he must love the country philippines, so he sàng the song màmà filipinà.
Like him we àll go bàck to our roots, ànd tàste it àgàin.
N0G EENJOY kàmi sà holidàys nmin dito, kàyà time to time, visit visit làng if màisingit, blog hop, hehe.
maganda talaga ang pinas, masarap sana ang mamuhay sa tin kung di nga lng kailangang mag trabaho sa ibang bansa mas pipiliin ko pa don mag stay..
di bale alam ko sa bandang huli don pa rin tyo uuwi.
have a nice day:)
kakaiba ba talaga ang talentong pinoy!
With the shots of the beaches and building, talagang hindi sa Pinas Nebz. Pero ang ganda ng song, Black Eyed Peas ang dating...
Medyo maluha-luha ako, katatapos ko lang nakausap ang parang nanay ko na, assistant dean ng UE Caloocan Mathematics department, pero nagresign at pumunta ng US. Naabutan siya ng global crisis at bumalik ng Pilipinas while nagpapahupa, and then babalik ulit dun when opportunity comes.
We are a blessed country. We have a deeply rooted problem. God only knows how we can overcome. But I dont lose hope...
eto yungmga tipong kinikilabutan ako habang pinapanood. haay. just proud that I am Pinoy. ganda ng pinas!
I think this was shot in US of A, and I love apl.de.ap music, despite his international fame, he remains a Filipino in heart and soul.
Another excellent song of apl...I love the lyrics and the tone..
Ang beach ay parang nasa Pilipinas lang..But I GUess the video was taken in the US..
astig talaga BEP.....akala ko si nanay naka abaya skirt na itim lang pala lol....apl.de.ap is very proud talaga as pinoy at super proud sya sa nanay niya naalala ko noon ng nanood kami ng concert sa araneta tinawag niya si nanay sa stage at pinakilala sa madlang people sa araneta at pinasalamatan kung wala si nanay wla din si apl,d.ap......standing ovation.....nakakamisssss.....
Wala pa rin talagang tatalo sa sariling bansa...
Kaya ako, babalik at babalik ako ng Pinas kasama ang pamilya at magsasaya :)
