Asin is one of my favorites until now. I still love to listen to their old albums. One thing I miss about this kind of music is the message and the beautiful melody. It is very simple yet meaningful. Great musicians like Freddie Aguilar, Florante, Heber, Coritha , Sampaguita, Juan De La Cruz band, Maria Cafra, their music is just timeless. Grace Nono her music reminds you that you have to be proud of your ethnic background.She oozes originality, courage, authenticity,and pride in true OPM. Joey Ayala, whom I have deep respect for as a person, a very good singer/ songwriter, creative musician, who until now is still active and continues to inspire and spread the message through his music. It is always refreshing when you get to hear Joey Ayala perform live or just listening to his albums. His distinctive sound and rhythm reminds me of where I came from---the indigenous instruments until now are still used by many minority tribes.
I just hope that this kind of music will continue and be heard by future generations.

PAYO LAMANG

Ang tao nga naman
Pag nasa kasikatan
Nalimutan na ang pinangalingan
Pati kaibigan, kahit sino inaapakan

Ito'y payo lamang
Bumaba ka sa kinalalagyan
Lahat ng bagay ay may hanganan
Ang pagsisi ay nasa hulihan

Kaibigan ito'y tandaan
Pagkakataon ay alagaan
Minsan lang ito dadaan
Huwag maging /masyadong mayabang

Maganda ang buhay
huwag bayaang mawalay
Dahil lamang sa tinatamasang tagumpay

Kaibigan ito'y tandaan
Kahit magandang bagay
Pag somusobra
Ay magiging masama

Materyal at salapi
Ay madaling hanapin
Nguni't ang karangalan
Ay hindi kayang bilhin

Kaibigan ito'y payo lamang.

'YAN ANG PILIPINO

Note: I wrote this as I was inspired while traveling from different countries. Given a chance that we are indeed good and full of talents, that poverty is not a hindrance.

Sa aking paglalakbay.
Sa Iba't ibang sulok ng mundo
Iba't ibang tao ang nakikilala ko
Nakikita ko ang kaibahan nating Pilipino

Kahit anong trabaho ay sinasabak
Kahit anong hirap ay hinaharap
Pag nagka-ipon ipon
Ugaling Pilipino ay iyong mahahanap

Tawanan, Kuwentuhan
Malimutan na ang problema
Kahit anong tribu, basta Pilipino
Tsismisan, kumustahan
Kahit hindi magkakilala
Kahit saang bansa
'Yan ang Pilipino, 'Yan ang Pilipino

Pagdating sa musika
Tayo ang nagunguna
Amerika,Europa ,Gitnang Silangan, Asya at iba pa
(Ang) Pilipino ay iyong makikita

Tayo ay mayroong angking talino
Kahit anong laro hindi sumusuko
Kahit saang dako hindi patatalo
'Yan ang Pilipino, 'Yan ang Pilipino

Kahit gaano kabigat ang dinadala
Makuha pa ring tumawa at makisaya
Basta't magkasama, kahit hindi magkakilala
Basta't magkasama, kahit hindi magkapamilya
'Yan ang Pilipino, hindi maipagkaila

Pag may nangangailangan
Kahit nasa malayo tayo'y maaasahan
'Yan ang bayanihan
"Yan ang Pilipino, kahit saan
