In the first scene maloi's arts is mostly in black paint and the gradient is blurry and darker until she bumps into maki spilling the yellow (dilaw) paint in her shirt pertaining that he triggered something within her. Throughout the whole mv the tone is warm and bright and maloi is starting to use bright colors for her arts until he was gone and maloi's world has gone dark again, and at the end of the mv u can actually notice that it gets back into a warmer tone when maloi finally realizes that she is her own dilaw (yellow) which can be a symbolism to acceptance, life and happiness. Maki (the guy) is just the representation of some people in your life that will left sooner or later but the memories the lessons and the experience will still be in there and will help you grow and be better a version of yourself
Actually, Maki didn’t spill yellow paint when he bumped into Maloi. It was he himself which is the color yellow. In his spiel in Cozy Cove, before performing Dilaw live, he explained that he actually wrote Dilaw for himself. So yes, I think your interpretation that the MV is about Maloi realizing that she is her own dilaw is accurate. :)
Maharani means great queen and comes from Sanskrit. Before Islam and Christianity came to the Philippines, there was Indian influence by way of what is now Indonesia and Malaysia. Kings in the Philippines were called Rajas, sometimes even in Islamic cities like Manila of 1570. They also use the words lakambini (noblewoman/princess) and lakan (nobleman/prince) the lyrics, singing "princess may I be your prince". Skillful as bini is in the suffix of princess. The dance shown is the singkil dance of the Maranao ethnic group, portraying a prince saving a princess from a sea monster (the bamboo poles) - of course the princess has her servant carrying an umbrella with her even in danger. The headdress has the sarimanok, a sacred bird. Alamat means myth or legend. Their songs always have an ethnic or historical aspect. The "twin" of Pantropiko (there is a Tiktok of BINI and Alamat mashing up the songs and dancing together) is "Day and Night" and has Alamat admiring a mythical sea goddess on the beach.
Maharani - Maharani are the rulers (or wives of rulers) in a number of Asian countries among which are the following: India, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines. or in this song, translated as "queen" that she is. Dilaw - Yellow, which is literally Maloi's color representation in the group.
Thanks for the reaction! The Maharani MV had official english caption, but I think it defaulted to auto-generated ones. Also, the ties were traditional. The dance they were practicing and performing on the stage is called "Singkil" while the one that they danced in the field was "Tinikling".
Dilaw means yellow, but the song was about friendship that would last forever even though both of you will not be seeing each other for a very long long time. It is like a friendship of the past, like high school days. 🥺🥺😫
I think this song is a representation of our youth, on how fast it will be gone as time goes by without you realizing it. As a 90's kid, I think what I can advise the GenZs are for you to do not waste every moment, make your dreams come true, love and be loved, go wherever you want because life is too short you have to make the most out of it!
Hi! I'll try to give explanation in both music videos as much as I can. ☺️ MAHARANI: Maharani is a Filipino word which is synonymous to "queen". The song itself is like courtship song where the singer sings his admiration to the girl he loves. For the story in the music video, I think they wanted to focus on the lyrics that signifies a person's yearning for the girl he loves and telling how he's a better fit for her than the guy she's with. The prechorus to chorus can be translated like this "He doesn't know what he's wasting while I am here just waiting. Just like your other admirers in the corner, I promise, I am not crazy, you're my one and only queen. Will you give me a chance to have your love? My muse, let me be your man instead? I promise to god, i will not get tired of you, my queen" As for the chicken headpiece, i think they were inspired by the Philippines legendary bird which is the Sarimanok. Basically, it's a bird that has feathers with various colors. It usually is used to signify regal and power. That's why the boyfriend swatting the headpiece can mean him disrespecting her even with the status she have. Additionally, the members of Alamat and Jhoanna is dancing to a Philippine folkdance which is Tinikling. Alamat had this signature when it comes to their music where they incorporate different Filipino nuances and culture. The songs they make uses different languages that are widely used around the country, their music videos has some Filipino culture themes, even the instrumentals (which you already noticed) has some Filipino music instruments and even their outfits are usually inspired by Filipino traditional clothing and textile. DILAW: Dilaw means the color Yellow. The song itself basically is about the singer singing his love to his beloved and describing her as Yellow which means happiness. The music video actually intrigued a lot of people as it can be interpreted in many different ways. Personally, I see it as a depiction of depression and how a person may come in to your life to help you find the colors you are not able to see on your own but in the end, it would still be up to you to find your own happiness in your life, which was portrayed beautifully by Maloi in the ending scene where she used the Yellow crayon to color her art. In the music video, Maloi starts the scene waking up on dimly-lit room with her art which only used black, unruly strokes (which represents her depression). Maloi meets Maki and she developed a little crush on him. Maki is shown to be a victim of bullying as well, that's why I also think both Maki and Maloi are depressed in the video. There were subtle hints for this all throughout the video and they used color grading to portray this idea instead. Once they met, the scenes changed it's almost bluish color grading to yellowish, fairytale-like lighting. And there were a lot of scenes which shows how Maki was helping Maloi in dealing with her depression: (1) Maloi's room being lit in yellow after Maki entered, (2) Maloi's art taking shape instead of just a bunch of disoriented strokes (the part where they were drawing each other's portraits), (3) The jeepney art museum (where instead of her painting being on the walls inside of her dark room, they are now displayed like an exhibit, (5) Maki actively teaching Maloi in using different colors instead of only using black). After all of that, Maki said goodbye to Maloi then the next day, he was gone. It can either mean that Maki may have decided to quit school (due to bullying) and his last 'task' was to help Maloi find her happiness or (this one's darker) Maki offed himself. Either way, his sudden disappearance had a huge impact on Maloi where you can literally see the colors slowly fading away in the MV. And as mentioned a while ago, in the ending scene, Maloi finally accepted that for her to be happy, she does not need to rely on someone but instead find this happiness herself.
The expression on your face when the realization hit in Dilaw that Maki was saying goodbye... Not gonna lie I also tear up every time I watch Dilaw. Maloi did a great job acting.
Hope to see more Alamat reactions.They are unique and always infuse traditional Filipino dance and attire in their videos.Their songs have English subtitles with their names on it for the one singing.Suggest ,Say You Love Me and Day And Night from Alamat
"Dilaw" is yellow, the color. In the MV, yellow represents love. When Maki bumped into Maloi and smeared yellow on her uniform, it's how love comes to us in the most unexpected ways. When she starts to add color to her artworks, it's how love changes us for the better. When he disappears without leaving a trace and her searching for him, it's the emptiness we feel when love ends and our desperation to find it again. When she smiles at the end with a yellow crayon in hand, it's the realization that the love we give ourselves is what ultimately holds us and sustains us.
Maloi's paintings in the first scene were all black. Maki helped her look at the world in a brighter light (dilaw = yellow). The last scene, Maloi is now holding a yellow crayon. I think Maki is just Maloi's imagination. He's her dilaw.
Finally an alamat review! ❤❤❤ Thanks so much. I just wished you watched it with the proper subtitles and not the autogenerated ones. Btw in their Gayuma music video AJ from G22 is also there! Also more of their songs like Aswang, Dagundong and Dayang(specially the wish bus version) are really good too!
I've been listening to Dilaw for 2 consecutive days on repeat. I alternate Dilaw on Spotify and their live performance at The Cozy Cove. There was really a difference you can tell, because their live performance was nicely done esp the adlibs and the second voice done by Sammy. It's way way better than the recordings. My favorite song now. ❤
Alamat, an underrated PPOP group. Thanks for the RV. More to come 😊 Reco MVs by ALAMAT: ABKD ASWANG SA PANAGINIP NA LANG DAYANG actually, their discography is just 🔥
7:21 The ties feature an Ofir design which is from where the Singkil dance is from. 9:53 You have to dance this barefoot because you need to be light on your feet and you don't want to slip. 13:13 That's supposed to be a Sarimanok, a kind of mythical bird from the Maranaos, the people from whom the Singkil Dance is from. 13:59 Alamat made another song that is like an answer to this song. It is called Dáyang, and it has three versions. The acoustic one is my favorite.
Hi Pierre glad you like Dilaw's MV since their passion (painting) is the same as you. I feel you put yourself in his shoe, the way you reacted as you always have.
Yes Alamat indeed putting traditional Filipino Culture on their songs. Even the first instrumental part of that song was from a traditional instrument.
I really enjoyed that you're happy at the start to the middle of both videos then it turns to Why?/What happened? very quickly 😂. It's satisfying to see you in agony how we felt watching those videos for the first time, Happy then frustrated 😂.
Bini Aiah had also done a music video w/ Jeremy G titled Bini hope you can check it out too btw dilaw is yellow in english resemble as sunshine or brightness I think Maki's is just making Maloi realize that in life you just to put color to be happy
In the song dilaw, maki was just an illusion in maloi's head leaving her a lesson that life could be not just black and white but as vibrant as yellow without depending on anyone, as simple as "life is beautiful, live it". Everything that happened was all in maloi's head. It's sad but it was such a great song and story, and it has been my vibe since the release until now. 💛
The dance in Alamat's Maharani is called singkil. It is an ethnic dance of the Maranao people in Muslim Mindanao, the southern part of the Philippines. Please do more Alamat. They always bring Filipino elements into their music. Their Dagundong song is good. It's a warrior song.
Wow, hope you should do more Alamat reactions because they really showcase the Filipino culture in every song and MV they have 😊. They even use other regional languages in the Philippines. If I would suggest next MV to react from them, it would be "Day and Night" "Maharani" means Queen in pre colonial times. The traditional dance they performed is called "Singkil" from Mindanao in the Philippines. "Dilaw" means yellow 😊. The MV is open to many theories. But my theory is the guy just left for some reason or the guy was just Maloi's imagination 😅 On Maharani MV, the girl just had a fight with her boyfriend but they have not broken up but this another guy who might have liked her for a long time took advantage but in the end he is just hurting himself as the girl (Jhoanna) had already reconciled with her boyfriend 😢 and yes, girls are gravitating towards bad guys because that is what excites them 😂 and they say good guys are boring 😒
the maharani mv have english captions/subtitles, i think you clicked the auto-translate one. the subtitles also have definitions/explanations in it for some of the important words like maharani, lakambini etc.
Dilaw’s Chorus is really good. I tried to translate it to english so you can understand what it’s saying: Ngayong nand'yan ka na, 'di magmamadali, ikaw lang ang katabi (Now that you’re here, there’s no need to rush. You’re the only one by my side) Hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti (Until our hair turns white) 'Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong (I don’t need to look for answers to my questions) Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko (Because you are my certainty) Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw, ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw (I won’t ever let go now that we’re dancing together) Kung meron mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw (If there’s any color which serves as my guiding light) Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw (It’s you, you’re my yellow) Dilaw is the color yellow. In the song, Maki used it as a source of light, joy, happiness. And yes, Maloi is such a good actress. I won’t be surprised if she eventually stars in a movie, probably a romcom.
Alamat really champions Filipino cultures and elements not only in their songs and choreography but also with their fashion. Love that you noticed the neckties. Indeed those were traditional patterns and they came from southern region of the archipelago, Mindanao. The patterns on the neckties came from Marawi (in Maranao where the ethnic dance incorporated in the mv "singkil" originated). Also if you look at the black and gold outfits, you'll see another ethnic patterns. It's called "Inaul" from Maguindanao. Both were handmade. Oh another thing, the rooster on the headgear or crown is actually a mythical bird called Sarimanok. It is a symbol of wealth, prosperity, good fortune, and unity. The Sarimanok is a very important cultural symbol for the Maranaos and a common traditional motif used especially in royal occasions such as enthronement, weddings, or kalilang (feasts). The ending, I'd like to think of it as because they fought in the beginning and they really haven't broken up, she only went back to him so they could have a talk whether they make up or break up. Lastly, I just want to share that ALAMAT's Maharani won Best R&B Recording of 2023 in 36th Awit Awards 2023. Thank you for reacting. Hope I'll see more of Alamat in your channel. 🫶🏻
Alamat is included in what we call the "Quadrinity" of #PPOP - #SB19 #BINI #ALAMAT #G22 *Yes, this group incorporates Philippine Culture heavly such as in their costumes, dances, themes of their songs, & even promotes local language of the Philippines.. *The first and Last dance is called "#SINGKIL", a royal Muslim dance from Southern Philippines. The other dance with bamboo poles danced in the fields is called "#Tinikling".
Atp i hope all MV's of PPOP Groups have Eng Captions especially ALAMAT so they can reach wider audiences, especially rn na Ppop is spreading outside PH 🙏💜
Dilaw = yellow symbolize hope love and joy Maloi experiance those times when he met Maki and after what happen all her paintings turn black and when you play the video backwards she woke up from a dream 😊😅
12:26. The main guy in the mv is only a rebound guy. The girl and her beau only had a quarrel not a break up. The main guy made the wrong assumption. I feel you bro. Haha and huhu at the same time.
In DILAW, at first you can see that Maloi only paints black and abstract, because that's how she represents her current life. Until Maki came who represented the DILAW (Yellow in English) of her life. So suddenly her life changed. Maki helped make Maloi's life happy and colorful. You can also see that Maloi's previously black paintings have become colorful. But in the end she realized that Maki was just her imagination. She realized that she was the Dilaw (Yellow) of her life. She chose happiness on her own.
the one with the princess is called SINGKIL ( using 4 bamboos), the TINIKLING (with 2 bamboos) is the one they danced when they're playing in the fields
BINI Jhoanna is our Maharani (Queen). BINI Maloi is our dilaw (joy/happiness) ALAMAT is probably the most culture oriented P-pop group. This song Maharani is really good, I personally love it. I recommend Day and Night by ALAMAT it's also one of their song I often listen to. There's also another music video that featured BINI Aiah. It is Bini by Jeremy G.
All music in the philipines it's has a traditional just you have to look closely there are small detail we always do that for representing our beloved country
Love this RV.. 😍 I'm a #MAGILIW (the Beloved), the famdom of #Alamat.. Looking forward for more Alamat RV.. #RECOS: *KBYE - debut song *Kasmala *Aswang *Gayuma *Day & Night *Dayang *ABKD *Porque
each bini girl should be guesting in some mv's aside from their own, seems our bini ladies not only sing, dance, rap...they can also act! Bini Maloi also appears in Rob Deniel's 'RomCom' MV.
The traditional dance is called Singkil and it's typically performed during weddings. There is a story in it, about the princess and the prince that fights for her. And the lady holding the umbrella is part of the dance too. The chicken is called the Sarimanok, it is a legendary bird in Philippine mythology. All of this is in Tagalog so far, but a lot of Alamat's songs will use multiple Filipino languages, up to 7 sometimes. And they always make it a point to include something about Philippine culture, history, or language. They are my favorite PPop group!! For you Pierre, I really recommend "Day & Night", which has its chorus sung in English, Bisaya, and Tagalog. It sounds like a pop love song but it's actually about the myth of the Magindara (Sea Siren). They also have a Wish Bus performance for it, and they upload the studio recording session for each song so you can hear the raw vocals! Please make sure to turn on the English subtitles that are NOT the automatic translated ones!!
She went back to her current bf, probably, they dont have official break up yet and the bf, he came back crying. Could be that the girl (joanna) feels her bf's sincere apology.
I like Maki's music especially the alternative ones ! You should check out the live version of "Dilaw" in Live at at the Cozy Cove ! Amazing performance! Alamat! Love their discography , so dope! My top 5 from Alamat : 1. Walang Hanggan 2. Sa Panaginip lang 3. Day & Night 4.Say U Love Me 5. ILY ILY
there's a clip wherein bini sheen reacted to the maharani MV, and also said "not's not a bini leader behavior" , ROFL "why did he lean to Alamat Taneo if she's over the motorcycle guy", such rowdy girls. lol
Hi Pierre! I've been watching a lot of your reaction videos recentlyz, ☺️ Could you check out Na Na Na or I Feel Good by Bini in a future video? I appreciate and enjoy watching your content ❤

In the first scene maloi's arts is mostly in black paint and the gradient is blurry and darker until she bumps into maki spilling the yellow (dilaw) paint in her shirt pertaining that he triggered something within her. Throughout the whole mv the tone is warm and bright and maloi is starting to use bright colors for her arts until he was gone and maloi's world has gone dark again, and at the end of the mv u can actually notice that it gets back into a warmer tone when maloi finally realizes that she is her own dilaw (yellow) which can be a symbolism to acceptance, life and happiness. Maki (the guy) is just the representation of some people in your life that will left sooner or later but the memories the lessons and the experience will still be in there and will help you grow and be better a version of yourself
Indeed😂😂
Wow .. 💛
This!
Actually, Maki didn’t spill yellow paint when he bumped into Maloi. It was he himself which is the color yellow. In his spiel in Cozy Cove, before performing Dilaw live, he explained that he actually wrote Dilaw for himself. So yes, I think your interpretation that the MV is about Maloi realizing that she is her own dilaw is accurate. :)
wao
Maharani means great queen and comes from Sanskrit. Before Islam and Christianity came to the Philippines, there was Indian influence by way of what is now Indonesia and Malaysia. Kings in the Philippines were called Rajas, sometimes even in Islamic cities like Manila of 1570.
They also use the words lakambini (noblewoman/princess) and lakan (nobleman/prince) the lyrics, singing "princess may I be your prince". Skillful as bini is in the suffix of princess.
The dance shown is the singkil dance of the Maranao ethnic group, portraying a prince saving a princess from a sea monster (the bamboo poles) - of course the princess has her servant carrying an umbrella with her even in danger. The headdress has the sarimanok, a sacred bird.
Alamat means myth or legend. Their songs always have an ethnic or historical aspect.
The "twin" of Pantropiko (there is a Tiktok of BINI and Alamat mashing up the songs and dancing together) is "Day and Night" and has Alamat admiring a mythical sea goddess on the beach.
NIce explanation
thank you so much for that. that is really interesting.
The explanation in the comments are just chef's kiss. Thank you so much.
hi Pierre pls check out Day and Night by alamat thank you
Maloi is a expressionism artist and some of the arts used are actually her works. She had a distinct style on her arts that's so compelling
I love Alamat..their music about traditional filipino music...
Maharani - Maharani are the rulers (or wives of rulers) in a number of Asian countries among which are the following: India, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines. or in this song, translated as "queen" that she is.
Dilaw - Yellow, which is literally Maloi's color representation in the group.
The dance is called the Singkil-it is a courtship dance, and yes, it is danced barefoot.
Thanks for the reaction! The Maharani MV had official english caption, but I think it defaulted to auto-generated ones. Also, the ties were traditional. The dance they were practicing and performing on the stage is called "Singkil" while the one that they danced in the field was "Tinikling".
Dilaw means yellow, but the song was about friendship that would last forever even though both of you will not be seeing each other for a very long long time. It is like a friendship of the past, like high school days. 🥺🥺😫
cutting onions rn
Also I want to add yellow represents friendship.
Omg! You really did reaction from Alamat! Thank you 💗 Its my fave ppop group too!
Looking forward for more alamat reactions sir thank u
This song give me a kilig vibe and then the sad last part broke me . Fffffffffffuuuuuu :(
I think this song is a representation of our youth, on how fast it will be gone as time goes by without you realizing it. As a 90's kid, I think what I can advise the GenZs are for you to do not waste every moment, make your dreams come true, love and be loved, go wherever you want because life is too short you have to make the most out of it!
Hi! I'll try to give explanation in both music videos as much as I can. ☺️
MAHARANI:
Maharani is a Filipino word which is synonymous to "queen". The song itself is like courtship song where the singer sings his admiration to the girl he loves.
For the story in the music video, I think they wanted to focus on the lyrics that signifies a person's yearning for the girl he loves and telling how he's a better fit for her than the guy she's with.
The prechorus to chorus can be translated like this
"He doesn't know what he's wasting while I am here just waiting. Just like your other admirers in the corner, I promise, I am not crazy, you're my one and only queen. Will you give me a chance to have your love? My muse, let me be your man instead? I promise to god, i will not get tired of you, my queen"
As for the chicken headpiece, i think they were inspired by the Philippines legendary bird which is the Sarimanok. Basically, it's a bird that has feathers with various colors. It usually is used to signify regal and power. That's why the boyfriend swatting the headpiece can mean him disrespecting her even with the status she have.
Additionally, the members of Alamat and Jhoanna is dancing to a Philippine folkdance which is Tinikling.
Alamat had this signature when it comes to their music where they incorporate different Filipino nuances and culture. The songs they make uses different languages that are widely used around the country, their music videos has some Filipino culture themes, even the instrumentals (which you already noticed) has some Filipino music instruments and even their outfits are usually inspired by Filipino traditional clothing and textile.
DILAW:
Dilaw means the color Yellow. The song itself basically is about the singer singing his love to his beloved and describing her as Yellow which means happiness.
The music video actually intrigued a lot of people as it can be interpreted in many different ways. Personally, I see it as a depiction of depression and how a person may come in to your life to help you find the colors you are not able to see on your own but in the end, it would still be up to you to find your own happiness in your life, which was portrayed beautifully by Maloi in the ending scene where she used the Yellow crayon to color her art.
In the music video, Maloi starts the scene waking up on dimly-lit room with her art which only used black, unruly strokes (which represents her depression). Maloi meets Maki and she developed a little crush on him. Maki is shown to be a victim of bullying as well, that's why I also think both Maki and Maloi are depressed in the video. There were subtle hints for this all throughout the video and they used color grading to portray this idea instead. Once they met, the scenes changed it's almost bluish color grading to yellowish, fairytale-like lighting. And there were a lot of scenes which shows how Maki was helping Maloi in dealing with her depression: (1) Maloi's room being lit in yellow after Maki entered, (2) Maloi's art taking shape instead of just a bunch of disoriented strokes (the part where they were drawing each other's portraits), (3) The jeepney art museum (where instead of her painting being on the walls inside of her dark room, they are now displayed like an exhibit, (5) Maki actively teaching Maloi in using different colors instead of only using black). After all of that, Maki said goodbye to Maloi then the next day, he was gone. It can either mean that Maki may have decided to quit school (due to bullying) and his last 'task' was to help Maloi find her happiness or (this one's darker) Maki offed himself. Either way, his sudden disappearance had a huge impact on Maloi where you can literally see the colors slowly fading away in the MV. And as mentioned a while ago, in the ending scene, Maloi finally accepted that for her to be happy, she does not need to rely on someone but instead find this happiness herself.
For me, I think dilaw means sunrise and sunset because they both represent the start and the end. And they are also dilaw (yellow) at some point. 😁
thank you so much for that!! Very good explanation
In Dilaw, it always gets me when he sings "This is getting dangerous, I'm smiling again"
Now you need to see Jeremy's song "bini" featuring bini Aiah HAJAHAHAHAHAH
+1
yes yes :) I willb
The expression on your face when the realization hit in Dilaw that Maki was saying goodbye... Not gonna lie I also tear up every time I watch Dilaw. Maloi did a great job acting.

The way you analyze every detail damn that's incredible.
thank you :)
Maloi's paintings in the first scene were all black. Maki helped her look at the world in a brighter light (dilaw = yellow). The last scene, Maloi is now holding a yellow crayon. I think Maki is just Maloi's imagination. He's her dilaw.
that sounds good....
Maki became a crayon

Alamat has great discography. Would love to see your reactions to their songs, too, Pierre.
Ah finally ALAMAT🤎
Maharani was my fave
Hi Pierre glad you like Dilaw's MV since their passion (painting) is the same as you. I feel you put yourself in his shoe, the way you reacted as you always have.
Yes Alamat indeed putting traditional Filipino Culture on their songs. Even the first instrumental part of that song was from a traditional instrument.
On Dilaw's mv, all of those things that happened is just a dream. My English is bad 😹 I cannot really explain it in the language 😭
maloi's imagination more likely
I really enjoyed that you're happy at the start to the middle of both videos then it turns to Why?/What happened? very quickly 😂. It's satisfying to see you in agony how we felt watching those videos for the first time, Happy then frustrated 😂.
Filipino songs tend to have deeper meanings as always.
this is so funny cause we have the same reaction when i first watched the Maharani by Alamat.
I love how you give attention in instrument in the video
Bini Aiah had also done a music video w/ Jeremy G titled Bini hope you can check it out too btw dilaw is yellow in english resemble as sunshine or brightness I think Maki's is just making Maloi realize that in life you just to put color to be happy
😊
Definitely
i love this reaction bro!!!!
thank you so much
Please do a part 2 of Alamat's song because trust me, the song is very good lyrically and you must show was your thoughts on it, it's really good!!
In the song dilaw, maki was just an illusion in maloi's head leaving her a lesson that life could be not just black and white but as vibrant as yellow without depending on anyone, as simple as "life is beautiful, live it". Everything that happened was all in maloi's head. It's sad but it was such a great song and story, and it has been my vibe since the release until now. 💛
ALAMAT is on 🔥
Alamat also has a song called Day and Night that somehow compliments Bini’s Pantropiko.
Which they mashed up and danced!
Your react😂 in the end hhaah from happy to what??? Haahha lot of questions
I can already see Maloi in her actress era 10 years from now. Very easy transition esp ABS-CBN is known first and foremost for their actors.
Maharani has English subs that was transcribed by JPL :) it gives better context to the song :)
Jhoanna = ghosted taneo
Maloi = ghosted by maki
The dance in Alamat's Maharani is called singkil. It is an ethnic dance of the Maranao people in Muslim Mindanao, the southern part of the Philippines. Please do more Alamat. They always bring Filipino elements into their music. Their Dagundong song is good. It's a warrior song.
Dilaw is on repeat in my playlist
Wow, hope you should do more Alamat reactions because they really showcase the Filipino culture in every song and MV they have 😊. They even use other regional languages in the Philippines.
If I would suggest next MV to react from them, it would be "Day and Night"
"Maharani" means Queen in pre colonial times. The traditional dance they performed is called "Singkil" from Mindanao in the Philippines.
"Dilaw" means yellow 😊. The MV is open to many theories. But my theory is the guy just left for some reason or the guy was just Maloi's imagination 😅
On Maharani MV, the girl just had a fight with her boyfriend but they have not broken up but this another guy who might have liked her for a long time took advantage but in the end he is just hurting himself as the girl (Jhoanna) had already reconciled with her boyfriend 😢 and yes, girls are gravitating towards bad guys because that is what excites them 😂 and they say good guys are boring 😒
thank you for that!
Listen more to maki's live singing he is so good at live vocal
the maharani mv have english captions/subtitles, i think you clicked the auto-translate one. the subtitles also have definitions/explanations in it for some of the important words like maharani, lakambini etc.
I actually cried when I recall that scene
same reaction bruh hahaha. Jhoanna really did go with the badboy on motorcycles
The voice is beautiful and yellow
Popular Theory About Dilaw Is In The Song Maki Is Just An Imaginary Friend Of Maloi
bini❤❤❤
Dilaw’s Chorus is really good. I tried to translate it to english so you can understand what it’s saying:
Ngayong nand'yan ka na, 'di magmamadali, ikaw lang ang katabi (Now that you’re here, there’s no need to rush. You’re the only one by my side)
Hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti (Until our hair turns white)
'Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong (I don’t need to look for answers to my questions)
Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko (Because you are my certainty)
Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw, ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw (I won’t ever let go now that we’re dancing together)
Kung meron mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw (If there’s any color which serves as my guiding light)
Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw (It’s you, you’re my yellow)
Dilaw is the color yellow. In the song, Maki used it as a source of light, joy, happiness. And yes, Maloi is such a good actress. I won’t be surprised if she eventually stars in a movie, probably a romcom.
thank you so much for that!!!!
Alamat really champions Filipino cultures and elements not only in their songs and choreography but also with their fashion. Love that you noticed the neckties. Indeed those were traditional patterns and they came from southern region of the archipelago, Mindanao. The patterns on the neckties came from Marawi (in Maranao where the ethnic dance incorporated in the mv "singkil" originated). Also if you look at the black and gold outfits, you'll see another ethnic patterns. It's called "Inaul" from Maguindanao. Both were handmade.
Oh another thing, the rooster on the headgear or crown is actually a mythical bird called Sarimanok. It is a symbol of wealth, prosperity, good fortune, and unity. The Sarimanok is a very important cultural symbol for the Maranaos and a common traditional motif used especially in royal occasions such as enthronement, weddings, or kalilang (feasts).
The ending, I'd like to think of it as because they fought in the beginning and they really haven't broken up, she only went back to him so they could have a talk whether they make up or break up.
Lastly, I just want to share that ALAMAT's Maharani won Best R&B Recording of 2023 in 36th Awit Awards 2023. Thank you for reacting. Hope I'll see more of Alamat in your channel. 🫶🏻
thank you very much for that!
Alamat is included in what we call the
"Quadrinity" of #PPOP - #SB19 #BINI #ALAMAT #G22
*Yes, this group incorporates Philippine Culture heavly such as in their costumes, dances, themes of their songs, & even promotes local language of the Philippines..
*The first and Last dance is called "#SINGKIL", a royal Muslim dance from Southern Philippines. The other dance with bamboo poles danced in the fields is called "#Tinikling".
the bird in the head dress is the Sarimanok a mythical bird from the people of Maranao
thank you
4:58 YOU CLICKED THE WRONG CAPTIONS 😂😂😂😂 there are actual captions in the videos even showing the member's names
Atp i hope all MV's of PPOP Groups have Eng Captions especially ALAMAT so they can reach wider audiences, especially rn na Ppop is spreading outside PH 🙏💜
I enjoyed more of Maki and Maloi . i am a sentimental one. both songs i love .
Thanks for the reaction, Pierre! You may also like Jeremy G's Bini that features Aiah
Dilaw = yellow symbolize hope love and joy Maloi experiance those times when he met Maki and after what happen all her paintings turn black and when you play the video backwards she woke up from a dream 😊😅
Dang man, I was wondering what your captions were doing for Maharani. I think you had the auto-generated captions on.
12:26. The main guy in the mv is only a rebound guy.
The girl and her beau only had a quarrel not a break up. The main guy made the wrong assumption.
I feel you bro. Haha and huhu at the same time.
yes
maharani means queen
the tie is traditional tie
In DILAW, at first you can see that Maloi only paints black and abstract, because that's how she represents her current life. Until Maki came who represented the DILAW (Yellow in English) of her life. So suddenly her life changed. Maki helped make Maloi's life happy and colorful. You can also see that Maloi's previously black paintings have become colorful. But in the end she realized that Maki was just her imagination. She realized that she was the Dilaw (Yellow) of her life. She chose happiness on her own.
The traditional TINIKLING with their feet barefoot ❤
the one with the princess is called SINGKIL ( using 4 bamboos), the TINIKLING (with 2 bamboos) is the one they danced when they're playing in the fields
You should also watch VXON "Saksak sa puso" jaz was also on that music video 😂😂 and the ending will surprise you. 😆😆
Up
12:26 I can see your disappointment on that face Pierre 😂😂 I also wonder why women always have that kind of mindset. 😫😫🥺
We will never understand...
AIAH WAS ALSO FEATURED IN A MUSIC VIDEO THE SONG IS CALLED BINI
"It all starts with a little finger."
Me: oh god I missed her.
BINI Jhoanna is our Maharani (Queen).
BINI Maloi is our dilaw (joy/happiness)
ALAMAT is probably the most culture oriented P-pop group. This song Maharani is really good, I personally love it.
I recommend Day and Night by ALAMAT it's also one of their song I often listen to.
There's also another music video that featured BINI Aiah. It is Bini by Jeremy G.
Rob Deniel's 'RomCom' MV also featured Bini Maloi
Since alamat debuted to your channel i'll take this chance to promote their other songs too which is day and night and dagundong!
All music in the philipines it's has a traditional just you have to look closely there are small detail we always do that for representing our beloved country
Maharani -queen or princess
Love this RV.. 😍
I'm a #MAGILIW (the Beloved), the famdom of #Alamat..

The dance is called singkil
The girls actually did a reaction to maharani and they had the same reaction😭 they said Jhoanna is a redflag
so sad, the maharani has an english sub, but you clicked the auto translate :((
each bini girl should be guesting in some mv's aside from their own, seems our bini ladies not only sing, dance, rap...they can also act! Bini Maloi also appears in Rob Deniel's 'RomCom' MV.
The traditional dance is called Singkil and it's typically performed during weddings. There is a story in it, about the princess and the prince that fights for her. And the lady holding the umbrella is part of the dance too. The chicken is called the Sarimanok, it is a legendary bird in Philippine mythology.
All of this is in Tagalog so far, but a lot of Alamat's songs will use multiple Filipino languages, up to 7 sometimes. And they always make it a point to include something about Philippine culture, history, or language. They are my favorite PPop group!!
For you Pierre, I really recommend "Day & Night", which has its chorus sung in English, Bisaya, and Tagalog. It sounds like a pop love song but it's actually about the myth of the Magindara (Sea Siren). They also have a Wish Bus performance for it, and they upload the studio recording session for each song so you can hear the raw vocals!
Please make sure to turn on the English subtitles that are NOT the automatic translated ones!!
thank you :)
DiLaw, Your Correct Pronounce! 👍
She went back to her current bf, probably, they dont have official break up yet and the bf, he came back crying. Could be that the girl (joanna) feels her bf's sincere apology.
Maki is the actor in the "Dilaw" (yellow) MV,
You forgot Aiah too with Bini by Jeremy G
I'm so happy that you reacted to filipino songs🥲
salamat po ❤️😊
@@NeonReactionsPierre You're always welcome.
Pierre, you should try reacting to Alamat's works too. I recommend Dayang, Gayuma, DAgundong, and Day and Night
I like Maki's music especially the alternative ones ! You should check out the live version of "Dilaw" in Live at at the Cozy Cove ! Amazing performance!
Alamat! Love their discography , so dope!
My top 5 from Alamat :
1. Walang Hanggan
2. Sa Panaginip lang
3. Day & Night
4.Say U Love Me
5. ILY ILY
I enjoyed Maki a lot... is his music generally like that?
@@NeonReactionsPierre Yes. you can check his "Saan" "Bakit" and "Sigurado" all have the same vibes!
there's a clip wherein bini sheen reacted to the maharani MV, and also said "not's not a bini leader behavior" , ROFL "why did he lean to Alamat Taneo if she's over the motorcycle guy", such rowdy girls. lol
hahaha ... GO SHEENA!
me on 20:55 "oh bro, wait till you see the end"
2 other MVs that have BINI members in it are BINI by Jeremy G (feat. Aiah) and RomCom by Rob Deniel (feat. Maloi)
