I found a way to write the #Filipino leading sound /ŋ/ (Ng̃) in #Hangeul by “reviving” an obsolete Jamo.
(NOTE: the samples below are using the Pilipino Hangeul [work-in-progress] adaption/rules.)
Ex:
ᅌᅡ욘 (nga·yon) = EN: today
ᅌᅵ삔 (ngi·pin) = EN: tooth
I also separated (R) and (L), like how they did in the #Ciacia language.
Same character: ᄙ
Ex:
빠다ᄙᅡᆺ닷 (pa·ta·las·tas) = EN: commercial
ᄙᅡ밧 (la·bas) = EN: outside; go out (depending on usage)
I was thinking of using another obsolete Jamo (ᅏ) for the /t͡s/ (Ts) sound, but ㅊ /t͡ɕʰ/ (Ch) can fulfill that role as well.
Ex:
차차 (cha·cha) = short form of “charter change”; or the dance chacha.
초꼬라데 (tso·ko·la·te) = EN: chocolate
차아 (tsa·a) = EN: tea
Ññ (enye) is, for now, transliterate.
For the Kr sound, like in “krus”, maybe we can use ㅋ since we don't have a /kʰ/ (Kh) sound in Filipino.
Vowels like Filipino “Ee” which can be either /ɛ/ (ae) or /e/ (e).
This one is tricky because the Filipino “Ee” sound can change depending on, for example, a person want to deliver a word with endearment, but the meaning never changes. So an /e/ sound can become an /ɛ/ sound, while retaining its meaning.
I actually had no idea about this “Ee” /e/ (e) vs /ɛ/ (ae). The way Filipino vowels are taught in school is simply, well, /e/ (e). But the more I read online resources, the more I learn that we do make an /ɛ/ (ae) sound for the same vowel! How crazy is that?!
Today's #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday is 「Shout For Joy」 by Gary Valenciano. A fitting song after Passover, Resurrection Day, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
If I'm going to interpret this, the natives of Taiwan survived as the primary people in what we know today as the Philippine archipelago. From the Philippines, they spread everywhere.
In other words, they're all #Filipino! ᜑᜑᜑᜑ 😹 (Or, native Taiwanese to be exact.)
Here's another thing most are not aware of: Mainland Chinese were an important factor, if not crucial, in the #Philippines fight against colonial invaders.
Andres Bonifacio, the father of Philippine revolution, and one of the founders of the #KKK , is often depicted as a poor farmer. This is very far from the truth.
Andres Bonifacio came from a rich, if not wealthy, family with a lot of connections. If I remember correctly, he hailed from a "Royal Class" clan, and his family was one of those who kept communication lines intact before and after they started the revolution.
Secondly. Starting a revolution requires a continuous flow of funds. Farmers cannot support a revolution. In addition, farmers will not even think of a revolution by themselves, family comes first. However, a rich or wealthy person is capable of thinking about it and starting it.
So, Andres Bonifacio a "farmer"? Not at all.
Third. What schoolbooks don't tell us (they refuse to update it too) is that mainland Chinese (meaning, pure Chinese from mainland China) were also involved. They mainly provided funds and armaments. The Chinese in the Philippines and Chinese from China, were in constant communication. They send funds and arms. Which then are channeled to support the KKK.
Yet during the 80s and 90s, Chinese-Filipinos, or #Tsinoy , were targeted for kidnappings and hate. To this day, discrimination still happens just because they're Chinese, even though they have nothing whatsoever to do with Communist China.
It's Feb 28th, and if you're suspecting they no longer love you, maybe this #OPMwednesday recommendation will help: “If the Feeling Is Gone” by #EllaMaySaison
Our #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday today is a lively song, 「Atin Ang Mundo」 (The World is Ours) from the Filipino boy band #TheJuans, that will surely make you dance.
Great news. Last year's release of the IRR related to #Copyright stated that a registry will be created for Filipino works, and works produced in the Philippines, in the #PublicDomain.
In addition to the above, the IRR also finalised that any Philippine government works, unless otherwise specified, are now automatically in the Public Domain.
「Christmas In Our Hearts」 was released on 1990-11-17 as the titular song of Jose Mari Chan's 7th studio album. Through this album, Jose Mari Chan was nicknamed “The Father of Philippine Christmas Music” and Filipinos start to play the songs from this album a week before September (“-ber months”) begins, the traditional start of #Christmas in the Philippines.
If you want to listen to the entire album, here are the links:
For more than ten years now, the label P-pop has become a terminology used to refer to a new genre of music. Often than not, it is used to mean the rising Philippine idol groups and also compared to OPM or Original Pilipino Music.
But what is it exactly? Is not P-pop Pilipino popular music by definition?
An Internet search for P-pop will give different definitions of it, what it covers, and what it represents. There are those who use it to mean the idol groups. There are articles written wherein it was used interchangeably with OPM. While there are also those who use it as an umbrella terminology for everything Filipino made. It can not all be correct, right?
Simple answer?
P-pop, or Pinoy Popular music, is all music composed or performed by a Filipino.
OPM, or Original Pilipino Music, is every original music composed by a Filipino.
