Watch "ALAMAT - 'ABKD' (Official M/V)" on YouTube

Alamat delivered a song talking self-confidence, with the about colorism. They also featured Aetas in the MV.

Noteworthy how they're always styled incorporating Filipino textiles in their wardrobe. They also had Norman King as their indigenous peoples consultant. He is the first Aeta to finish from the University of the Philippines Diliman. It's a top school. He was featured on an ad for his achievement. He accepted his diploma in his indigenous attire during his graduation.

MV opens to this scene. It blatantly expresses how fair skin is favored over darker skin. You can see this deeply entrenched in the culture with the bombardment of whitening products and services available and in the ads.

Then you have this scene showing crab mentality. It's a cultural phenomenon where if someone is successful, people around them would do everything to pull them down, just like what crabs in a bucket would do.

Then here comes the part where they have their moment, while the Giliwalo (because they were still eight at the time) cheer them on. I love this part.

Sign says baluga and ayta, with the former crossed out. It's a slur used against them. It's a derogatory word for someone with dark skin.

"On the day of their first anniversary in February, Alamat released their special single ABKD as a thank you song to all Magiliws, the fandom name of the group. In the music video, the members were seen helping a member of the Indigenous People community to pursue her dream of becoming a beauty amidst the socially unrealistic beauty standards imposed on women. 

"The song would later help Alamat to bag the Pop Song of the Year for Cultural Relevance award at the 7th PPOP Awards, adding another feather to the group’s cap.

"In June, the group released another single track Sa Panaginip Na Lang, which showcased the powerful vocals of the members. The song explores the concept of escapism and the desire to live in a perfect world devoid of problems and worries–an antithesis to the current present realities.

"In October, the group officially unveiled their first-ever mini album entitled Pasulong, a six-track project showcasing the versatility of Alamat in the field of singing, dancing, and rapping. 

"The release of the mini album marked a golden era for the group as it further helped them to establish a name in the P-pop scene."

life after senior high school

if you would ask me; "what happen to you after senior high school?" welp— i graduated with flying colors, being one of the honor student, even garnered a character award— and mind you, even awarded as best in thesis. it smells like as sweet as 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒚𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆. smell of success yet also a lingering smell of 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝.
