Gratitude to everyone who was part of Gongsters Paradise: A New Force. Magic was abound and memories were forged like bronze gongs ready to be struck in times of storm.

Rest in power, Pilita Corrales (1939-2025). Her voice, acting and comedy defined television for generations of Filipino viewers. Your legacy lives on.

When I discovered Kulintang music, a part of me thought I was in a position to somehow be a part of “saving” a dying tradition.
What I didn’t understand is that kulintang music thrived even in 2005, evidenced in the existence of kulintang music festivals held regularly across kulintang country.

Women were the original Kulintang players.
Women’s month is a good time I think for me to talk about how women musicians laid the foundation and carried the 🔥 for kulintang music for generations.

Hello friends! Just passed 100 followers so I’m thanking you for being a cool and real person!
Kulintang music changed my life for the better so I am spreading it here and elsewhere so that it might touch others in a positive way.
I love my wife, culture, disco, food, and sci-fi/fantasy.
You rock

What is kulintang? Maybe Bluesky needs to know.
Imagine a musical tradition hundreds of years old, kept alive in communities across a chain of islands in Southeast Asia; a music that speaks, literally, to its community.
