History of OPM(Original Pinoy Music)

Original Pilipino music, now more commonly termed original Pinoy music, original Philippine music or OPM, originally referred only to Philippine pop songs, particularly ballads, such as those popular after the collapse of its predecessor, the Manila Soundof the late 1970s. In the 1970s, popular artists were Nora Aunor, Pilita Corrales, Eddie Peregrina, Ramon Jacinto, Victor Wood, and Asin. The more major commercial Philippine pop music artists were Claire dela Fuente, Didith Reyes, Rico Puno, Ryan Cayabyab, Basil Valdez, Celeste Legaspi, Hajji Alejandro, Rey Valera, Freddie Aguilar, Imelda Papin, Eva Eugenio, Marco Sison, Nonoy Zuniga, and many others. Between the 1980s and the 1990s, OPM was led by artists such as Regine Velasquez, APO Hiking Society, José Mari Chan, Janet Arnaiz, Dingdong Avanzado, Rodel Naval, Janno Gibbs, Ogie Alcasid, Joey Albert, Lilet, Martin Nievera, Manilyn Reynes, Lea Salonga, Raymond Lauchengco, JoAnne Lorenzana, Francis Magalona, Sharon Cuneta, Sheryl Cruz, Zsa Zsa Padilla, and Gary Valenciano, among many others. In the 1990s, famous artists included Eraserheads, Smokey Mountain, Rivermaya, Jaya, Donna Cruz, Jolina Magdangal, Jessa Zaragoza, Ariel Rivera, South Border, AfterImage, Side A, Andrew E., Lani Misalucha, Ella May Saison, Roselle Nava and Blakdyak, among many others. In the 2000s and the 2010s, leading OPM artists include Aiza Seguerra, Toni Gonzaga, Sarah Geronimo, Nina, Yeng Constantino, Spongecola, Christian Bautista, Charice, Jed Madela, Erik Santos, Parokya Ni Edgar, and Gloc-9, among many others. Underground bands emerged and along with them were their perceptions of idealism and self-expression. The famous lyricist of Circle's End, Geno Georsua landed on top as the melodramatic expressionist. Bassist Greg Soliman of UST Pendong grasps the title as the best bassist of underground music. From its origin, OPM has been centered in Manila, where Tagalog and English are the dominant languages. Other ethnolinguistic groups such as Visayan, Bikol and Kapampangan, despite making music in their native languages, have rarely been recognized as OPM. Unusual cases includr the Bisrock(Visayan rock music) song "Charing" by Davao band, 1017. Multiculturalism advocates and federalists often associate the discrepancy to the Tagalog-centric cultural hegemony of Manila. Having successfully created a subgenre of Philippine rock thatvthey called Bisrock, the Visayans, by far, have the biggest collection of modern music in their native language, with great contributions from Visayan bands Phylum and Missing Filemon. However, a band called Groupies' Panciteria that hails from Tacloban, a Winaray-speaking city, launched a free downloadable mp3 album on Soundclick.com in 2009 containing 13 Tagalog songs and only one very short song in the Cebuano language.[1] Following suit are the Kapampangans. The debut music video of "Oras" ("Time") by Tarlac City-based Kapampangan band Mernuts has penetrated MTV Pilipinas, making it the first ever Kapampangan music video to join the ranks of other mainstream Filipino music videos. RocKapampangan: The Birth of Philippine Kapampangan Rock, an album of modern remakes of Kapampangan folk extemporaneous songs by various Kapampangan bands was also launched last February 2008, which are regularly played via Kapampangan cable channel Infomax-8 and via one of Central Luzon's biggest FM radio stations, GVFM 99.1. Inspired by what the locals call "Kapampangan cultural renaissance", Angeles City-born balladeer Ronnie Liang rendered Kapampangan translations of some of his popular songs such as "Ayli" (Kapampangan version of "Ngiti"), and "Ika" (Kapampangan version of "Ikaw") for his repackaged album. Despite the growing clamor for non-Tagalog and non-English music and the greater representation of other Philippine languages, the local Philippine music industry, which is centered in Manila, is unforthcoming in venturing investments to other locations. Some of their major reasons include the language barrier, small market size, and socio-cultural emphasis away from regionalism in the Philippines. The country's first songwriting competition, Metro Manila Popular Music Festival, was first established in 1977 and launched by the Popular Music Foundation of the Philippines. The event featured many prominent singers and songwriters during its time. It was held annually for seven years until its discontinuation in 1985. It was later revived in 1996 as the "Metropop Song Festival", running for another seven years before being discontinued in 2003 due to the decline of its popularity.[2] Another variation of the festival had been established called the Himig Handog contest which began in 2000, operated by ABS-CBN Corporation and its subsidiary music label Star Records. Five competitions have been held so far starting in 2000 to 2003 and was eventually revived in 2013. Unlike its predecessors, the contest has different themes which reflect the type of song entries chosen as finalists each year.[3][4]In 2012, the Philippine Popular Music Festivalwas launched and is said to be inspired by the first songwriting competition.[5] Pop music OPM pop has been regularly showcased in the live band scene. Groups such as Neocolours, Side A, Introvoys, The Teeth, Yano, True Faith, Passage and Freestyle popularized songs that clearly reflect the sentimental character of OPM pop. In the new millennium up to the 2010s, famous Filipino pop music artists include Sarah Geronimo, Erik Santos, Yeng Constantino, and Christian Bautista, among many others. Choir music Choral music has become an important part of Philippine music culture. It dates back to the choirs of churches that sing during mass in the old days. In the middle of the 20th century, performing choral groups started to emerge and increasingly become popular as time goes by. Aside from churches, universities, schools and local communities have established choirs. Philippine choral arrangers like Robert Delgado, Fidel Calalang, Lucio San Pedro, Eudenice Palaruan among others have included in the vast repertoires of choirs beautiful arrangements of OPM, folk songs, patriotic songs, novelty songs, love songs, and even foreign songs. The Philippine Madrigal Singers (originally the University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers) is one of the most famous choral groups not only in the Philippines, but also worldwide. Winning international competitions, the group became one of the most formidable choral groups in the country. Other award-winning choral groups are the University of Santo Tomas Singers, the Philippine Meistersingers (Former Adventist University of the Philippines Ambassadors), the U.P. Singing Ambassadors and U.P. Concert Chorus, among others. Rock and blues The United States occupied the Islands in 1898 until 1946, and introduced American blues, folk music, R&B and rock & roll which became popular. In the late 1950s, native performers adapted Tagalog lyrics for North American rock & roll music, resulting in the seminal origins of Philippine rock. The most notable achievement in Philippine rock of the 1960s was the hit song "Killer Joe", which propelled the group Rocky Fellers, reaching number 16 on the American radio charts. Up until the 1970s, popular rock musicians began writing and producing in English. In the early 1970s, rock music began to be written using local languages, with bands like the Juan Dela Cruz Band being among the first popular bands to do so. Mixing Tagalog and English lyrics were also popularly used within the same song, in songs like "Ang Miss Universe Ng Buhay Ko" ("The Miss Universe of My Life") by the band Hotdog which helped innovate the Manila Sound. The mixing of the two languages (known as "Taglish"), while common in casual speech in the Philippines, was seen as a bold move, but the success of Taglish in popular songs, including Sharon Cuneta's first hit, "Mr. DJ", broke the barrier forevermore. Philippine rock musicians added folk musicand other influences, helping to lead to the 1978 breakthrough success of Freddie Aguilar. Aguilar's "Anak" ("Child"), his debut recording, is the most commercially successful Filipino recording, and was popular throughout Asia and Europe, and has been translated into numerous languages by singers worldwide. Asin also broke into the music scene in the same period, and were popular. Folk rock became the Philippine protest music of the 1980s, and Aguilar's "Bayan Ko" ("My Country") became popular as an anthemduring the 1986 EDSA Revolution. At the same time, a counterculture rejected the rise of politically focused lyrics. In Manila, a punk rock scene developed, led by bands like Betrayed, The Jerks, Urban Bandits, and Contras. The influence of new wave was also felt during these years, spearheaded by The Dawn. The 1990s saw the emergence of Eraserheads, considered by many Philippine nationals as the number one group in the Philippine recording scene. In the wake of their success was the emergence of a string of influential Filipino rock bands such as Yano, Siakol, Parokya ni Edgar and Rivermaya, each of which mixes the influence of a variety of rock subgenres into their style. Filipino rock has also developed to include some hard rock, heavy metal and alternative rock such as Razorback, Wolfgang, Greyhoundz, Slapshock, Queso, Bamboo, Franco, Urbandub and the progressive bands Paradigm, Fuseboxx, Earthmover and Eternal Now. Rock festivals have emerged through the recent years and it has been an annual event for some of the rock/metal enthusiasts. One big event is the Pulp Summer Slam wherein local rock/metal bands and international bands such as Lamb of God, Anthrax, Death Angel and Arch Enemy have performed.[6] The neo-traditional genre in Filipino music is also gaining popularity, with artists such as Joey Ayala, Grace Nono, Bayang Barrios, Cocojam and Pinikpikan reaping relative commercial success while utilizing the traditional musical sounds of many indigenous tribes in the Philippines. Earth music Another genre that utilizes traditional instruments and found objects in primal compositions. Earth music recordings came out in 1994 under Backdoor Records.A series of albums have been recorded and released by Ambahayan Productions like Kubing Album, Chants Album, Kudyapi Album, Kulintang Album, Gabbang Album, Gangsa Album and Native Flutes Album. Airborne music A kind of music popularized by local musicians which is unrehearsed and played in public. Hip-hop Filipino hip-hop is hip hop music performed by musicians of Filipino descent, both in the Philippines and overseas, especially by Filipino-Americans. The Philippines is known to have had the first hip-hop music scene in Asia since the early 1980s, largely due to the country's historical connections with the United States where hip-hop originated. Rap music released in the Philippines has appeared in different languages such as Tagalog, Chavacano, Cebuano, Ilocano and English. In the Philippines, Francis M, Gloc-9and Andrew E. are cited as the most influential rappers in the country, being the first to release mainstream rap albums. Program music Unlike pure music which has no reference in the real world and no story component, program music is instrumental music that may tell a story with explicit episodes, reveal facets of a character, place or occasion, or imitate the sounds of the world. Sometimes this may take the form of a verbal explanation of the "story" or "program" of the piece. The term was invented by composer Franz Liszt, who understood program music to involve a program external to the music that set the parameters and the form in which the musical piece unfolds. Other genres A number of other genres are growing in popularity in the Philippine music scene, including a number of alternative groups and tribal bands promoting cultural awareness of the Philippine Islands. Likewise, jazz has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Initial impetus was provided by W.D.O.U.J.I. (Witch Doctors of Underground Jazz Improvisation) with their award-winning independent release "Ground Zero" distributed by the now defunct N/A Records in 2002 and the Tots Tolentino-led Buhay jazz quartet in the year before that. This opened up the way for later attempts most notable of which is the Filipino jazz supergroup Johnny Alegre Affinity, releasing its eponymous debut album in 2005 under London-based Candid Records. Mon David has also made the rounds of the Las Vegas music circuit. Among the female performers, Mishka Adams has been the most prominent. A recent development is the fusion of spoken-word and jazz and also with rock, chiefly attributed to Radioactive Sago Project. Other notable names of late are Bob Aves with his ethno-infused jazz, The Jazz Volunteers and Akasha which have anchored the now legendary underground jazz jams at Freedom Bar for almost half of the 11 years of its existence. Today, underground jazz jams are now held in a bar called TAGO jazz bar which is located at Main Avenue, Cubao. Newer jazz groups emerged in the local jazz scene namely Swingster Syndicate pioneering in the post-bop and modern trad jazz, and Camerata Jazz known for their Filipino jazz arrangements and sound. Bossa nova and Latino music has been popular since the 1970s. Performers like Annie Brazil were active in the 1970s, while more recently, Sitti has been earning rave reviews for her bossa nova covers of popular songs. While there has long been a flourishing underground reggae and ska scene, particularly in Baguio City, it is only recently that the genres have been accepted in the mainstream. Acts like Brownman Revival, Put3ska, Roots Revival of Cebu and The Brown Outfit Bureau of Tarlac City have been instrumental in popularizing what is called "Island Riddims". There is also a burgeoning mod revival, spearheaded by Juan Pablo Dream and a large indie pop scene. Electronic music began in the mid-1990s in the Manila underground spearheaded by luminaries like Manolet Dario of the Consortium. In 2010, local artists started to create electropop songs themselves. As of now, most electronic songs are used in commercials. The only radio station so far that purely plays electronic music is 107.9 U Radio. 2010s also began the rise of indie electronic producers and artists with the likes of Somedaydream, CRWN, NINNO, Kidthrones, and Jess Connelly.

Solons to grill Albayalde, other PNP execs over P35-M bounty

#PHnews: Solons to grill Albayalde, other PNP execs over P35-M bounty

LEGAZPI CITY -- Former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Oscar Albayalde and other high ranking PNP officials are expected to attend a meeting on Wednesday, called for by the House committee on public accounts, in connection with the PHP35-million bounty for the killers of AKB Rep. Rodel Batocabe.

Ako Bicol (AKB) Party-list Rep. Alfredo Garbin on Monday said the committee, chaired by Anak Kalusugan Party-list Rep. Michael Defensor, has summoned Albayalde to shed light on the status and answer issues surrounding the disbursement of the multi-million bounty that was raised by the President, the House of Representatives and the province of Albay intended for the prosecution witnesses in relation to the Batocabe murder case.

Garbin said members of the committee on public accounts will ask the former PNP chief to explain and submit an accounting on the PHP35-million reward raised for the capture of the mastermind and killers of Batocabe.

Also invited at the meeting were acting PNP chief Lt. Gen. Archie Gamboa, Brig. Gen. Joel Napoleon Coronel, director of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG); Brig. Gen. Bernardo Banac, PNP spokesperson; Lt. Col. Narcisco Langcauon of the PNP Intelligence Office; and lawyer Joseph Orsos of the PNP Legal Division.

Prosecution witnesses were likewise invited including Emmanuel Judavar, Danilo Muella, Christopher Naval, Jerwin Babor, Emmanuel Rosello and lawyer Jofrey Botor, counsel for Judavar.

According to Garbin, the PNP officials invited asked the meeting be conducted in an executive session as critical matters discussed would be detrimental to the ongoing murder case.

He said the meeting was called for in view of a clamor from members of the House of Representatives for an accounting of the PHP13 million they gave to raise the reward money to pin down Batocabe’s killer and mastermind.

Garbin said the PHP35-million total bounty included PHP20 million from President Duterte; PHP13 million from members of the 17th Congress and the PHP2 million from the Albay provincial government.

The AKB party was able to pledge PHP15 million but according to Garbin, the funds would be given to the Batocabe family to finance expenses for litigation and private prosecution lawyers handling the case.

“As a matter of transparency and accountability, we would ask Albayalde to submit to Congress a report where the money was used,” Garbin said.

“The contributions came from the own pockets of congressmen who are close to Rodel and wanted a fast resolution of the case,” he said.

It was earlier reported that two of the key witnesses against former Daraga Mayor Carlwyn Baldo, the alleged mastermind in the killing of Batocabe, recanted their testimonies due to their alleged failure to receive the reward money they were promised.

Batocabe, after ending his term as congressman, decided to run for the mayoral post of Daraga town, challenging Baldo, the incumbent mayor, and Vice Mayor Victor Perete who also decided to run for the town's top post.

Batocabe and his police escort were gunned down during a Christmas gift-giving event to senior citizens in Barangay Burgos, Daraga on December 22 last year.

Meanwhile, Baldo, who was detained last May 10, is currently out on bail after the court granted his petition for bail and paid an PHP8.72-million surety bond composed of land titles.

He has denied the accusation, saying he was made a “convenient scapegoat.” (PNA)

Home Repair and Maintenance

A home, though it’s simply defined as a shelter of residence, has evolved greatly from being just that. Modern homes today are pretty much complex systems that have various parts inside that keep the home in order. Plumbing systems, electrical systems, electronics, furniture restoration; these are some of the services that home owners look for. Despite the proliferation of DIY help, especially in sites such as Wikihow, there are still some things that you rather make the pros do. BigBenta recognizes the need for professionals in home repair and maintenance, and so, there are a lot of Service Providers that can help keep your home at tip-top shape!

Plumbing and Drainage (Tubero)

Plumbers are very important in today’s world. They are often tasked to the form of maintain, fix, or replace drainage, sewage, or plumbing pipes, jobs which require special training to do. Plumbers which opt to service houses, known as residential plumbers, are tasked to ensure that the plumbing system in a house is working okay. As clogged toilets or broken pipes leading to leaks are common at homes, residential plumbers are highly sought after! Though plumbers don’t need licenses to carry out their job, there are various vocational schools all over that do offer workshops for plumbers to improve themselves.

Plumbers at BigBenta: Myla Malabanan, Eric Cruz, Rico Ubaldo

Electrical/Lighting

Just like plumbers, electricians specialize in fixing another important part of a modern day home: Electrical Wiring! Electricians ensure that the wiring in buildings, or those that go into machines, are working properly. Service Electricians, who service houses, are also responsible for fixing electrical meters that are located beside each house, and repairing/installing light fixtures. In contrast to plumbers, electricians are often trained for a longer time, and are subject to stricter regulations, due to the various hazards that their jobs contain. Electricians in the Philippines require training, and need to show proper knowledge of the Philippine Electrical Code to become licensed electricians.

Electricians (Elektrisista) in BigBenta: Dante Ramos, Mark Rodel Navales, Carding Caballero, Jonie Lagmay, Mario Albindo, Norberto Benliro, Regie Luste, Fredric Villaflores, Jerebel Coma, Richard Villaseca, Jess Calaranan

House Renovations (Pintor, Karpintero, at Manghihinang)

No house is indestructible. External factors like weather can contribute to the weakening of the house foundations, chipping paint, more random holes and cracks, and other problems. Luckily, these problems can easily be fixed if it’s still relatively small, not to mention that it would cost less. As soon as you detect a problem, go to BigBenta Services to see who can help you return your house to its former glory. Get all the people you need for house renovations, whether they be carpenters, painters, or even welders, under this sub-category.

House Renovators in BigBenta:

Welders (Manghihinang): Rico Cruz, Elmer Vista, Jhason Relente, Fredric Villaflores, Vic Anthony Bulawin, Andy Mendoza, Mira Avellaneda, Virgilio Omega, Andrew Nava

Health and Beauty

“Health is Wealth”. This is a timeless statement that is familiar with most. Though today’s technological advancements give people better healthcare and more opportunities to eat and drink healthy, the stresses of a modern society can also be seen on some. It’s a well-known fact that suicide, depression, anxiety, may happen to anyone, regardless of where he/she is living. In fact, list25.com’s 25 Countries with the Highest Suicide Rates in the World shows that though a lot of the countries in the list are poor ones in Africa, some of them are highly developed nations like South Korea, Japan, Poland and Ukraine. This is why many believe that having a healthy state of mind is really key to be happy. Eating and exercising regularly, not letting peer pressure or family pressure get to you, avoiding conflict, and finding something to do that makes you happy are some of the ways that people stave off boredom and the subsequent mental ills that go along with it. At BigBenta, we care about your happiness, so we have decided to approach some service providers that are capable of making you feel much better!

Hair Stylists

Hairstylists, or hairdressers, are people who style or cut hair as a living. They can style hair depending on what customers want, and they use various techniques to achieve a great look. Having been popular since the 17th century, this profession actually originated around France, and a lot of the hairstyles that were popular then were conceptualized there. With the advent of electricity in the early 1900s hairdressers started using tools like hair dryers to lengthen the lifetime of the styled hair, and it further became popular, and hairstyles started changing at a much faster rate since then. Though it’s a profession that people believe are most suited for women, some of the best hairstylists back then and even today are men! Being a relatively safe job, as well as one that doesn’t have much requirements, it is one of the fastest growing professions available today!

Hair Stylists at BigBenta: Claudine Gutierrez, Jeanne Martinez, Mary Joy Barbecho, Mark Wilfred Dula, Elizabeth Lagarteja, Maria Leonora Flandez, Eleonor Sison, Waren Banda, Jessel Mark Anacio, Brian Alba, Emerita Faronila

Health Care

Though living healthy and staying mentally sane helps in keeping a youthful look, not everyone is blessed with good health for the rest of their lives. Eventually, due to a disability or a crippling illness, some people are incapable of taking care of themselves. That’s where caregivers come in! Caregivers are defined as “unpaid or paid person who helps another individual with an impairment with his or her daily activities”. Simply put, anyone who takes care of an impaired, disabled, or elderly person, regardless of physical differences, is a caregiver. In today’s world where life expectancies are getting longer and longer, and seemingly more and more people are born with physical/mental defects, caregiving activities are very essential, and are done for many reasons. However, whatever reason caregivers may have for caring for someone else, it does give a society a huge favor, as the cost of putting all these disabled, impaired, or elderly people in the care of health or mental institutions would be crippling. Caregiving is another popular profession today due to its simplicity, lack of hazardous tasks, and social benefits.

Care Givers and Physical Therapists at BigBenta: Florelyn Doplayna, Julie Mae Kinicot, Zenie Gallardo, Catherine Alberto, Jho Banaria, Kristel Espares, Erlinda Mendiola, Gilbert Villanueva, Dandy June, Johnmel Fermin

Body (Masahista)

An act of applying force on the body. Commonly done with machines, hands, and even feet, massages are known as a treatment for stress or pain. Having been done by various ancient civilizations like the Chinese, Indians, Japanese, Koreans, Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, and Mesopotamians, they have each developed their own way of massaging the body, and a lot of these ways are still being used today. Some of the common types of massages being done today are Acupressure (Acupuncture without the needles), Shiatsu (medical benefits), Foot Massage (stimulation of certain points on the feet), Swedish Massage (Most popular), Thai Massage (Ancient style), and Traditional Chinese Massage (Which involves pressing on sensitive points and pushing, stretching, and kneading muscles)

Masseurs (Masahista) in BigBenta: Florelyn Doplayna, Jane Gatbonton, Malosa Cacayuran, Ginnivi Reyes, Rochelle Caritos, Roma Landiza, Kaye-Anne Jesalva, Deanna Ross Campos, Alyssa Marie Tacub, Lharz Jaron, Luzviminda Soliban, Catherine Alberto, Arminda Maratas, Mark Wilfred Dula, Eleonor Sison

Lessons and Tutorial

Not everyone learns at the same pace, and it can be attributed to different reasons. Interest on the subject, concentration of the individual, physical/mental differences, are just some of the reasons that can affect the learning rate of an individual. However, just because slow learners are slow learners, doesn’t mean that they are dumb or stupid. History has proven itself time and time again that even slow learners have the potential to be great. At the same time however, if you do have a kid that is slow at learning, or one that is particularly interested in learning something new like dancing, playing basketball or even swimming, then help make them desire to achieve by getting a tutor. Here are the tutorials that we offer:

Music Lessons

Music is the one thing that brings us together. It has a universal feeling, and it’s evident when you see people trying to sing the lyrics of songs that they don’t know. It’s because of this that a lot of people are inspired to learn how to sing or dance better, or maybe even learn an instrument. However, learning how to play an instrument or sing, and learning how to play it properly is a whole different story. Knowing how to sing and/or play an instrument using proper techniques and habits can make it easier to play (thus minimizing injuries), so it’s best to ask for help from tutors/ coaches that have knowledge of proper playing techniques!

Music Lessons:

Voice Coach: Diosdado Espere

Sports and Martial Arts Lessons

Learn self-defense techniques from Freddie Oblea the founder of Buhawi Martial Arts. He is one of BigBenta.com’s service providers for martial arts.

It’s a common sight today to see people dying of heart attacks or strokes almost regularly. The sedentary lifestyle of people today, coupled with the bad diet and lack of exercise of some, creates a better chance of contracting avoidable diseases or ailments. Keeping a balance by staying healthy and exercising regularly can definitely prolong your life and give you peace of mind, but just because you need to exercise, doesn’t mean that it has to be a boring and monotonous regimen! With the amount of instructors out there capable of teaching you how to play a sport or a martial arts, it’s best to join these as they give you lots of benefits, like meeting new people, and even earning money and fame by joining competitions!

Sports and Martial Arts Lessons:

Martial Arts: Buhawi Martial Arts

Academic and Language Tutorials

Star Tutorial can help your children with math difficulties get good grades in school. Many parents vouch for the effectiveness of its teaching methods. The business owner Jennie De La Torre personally tutors the students to help them develop the love for math

As much as having a good body and maintaining good looks is important, making sure that you also have adequate knowledge in your brain is equally important in maintaining a balanced life. Some of the most respected people today are those that have a commanding presence and have the words/knowledge to back it up, so wouldn’t you want your colleagues to respect you? By being confident and knowledgeable in almost everything you do, whether it’s presenting a proposal to your boss or giving out orders to your subordinates, you’ll definitely make a good impression with a lot of people, and the benefits of that can translate to a pay raise or even a promotion! So if you want to be the ultimate alpha worker in the office, make sure that your rudimentary speaking skills/ math skills are on point. But of course, it’s not only adults that need tutorial classes. If your kids seem to find a hard time understanding lessons at school, remember that not everyone learns at the same pace, so make sure to get a tutor to help your child learn his lessons, and probably even become inspired to love the subject itself! The tutors at BigBenta are knowledgeable, and would be able to help a child struggling in his classes, as much as a teenager studying for his Entrance Test.

Events

Salago Salad on the Go Events and Catering is one of BigBenta’s service providers that you can book for your parties and events.

Simply defined as a social gathering, that definition is as simple as an event gets. If you were to take out the food, entertainment, decorations, and everything else in a party, but the people themselves socializing, it’s still an event, though most people wouldn’t exactly want to attend a party that doesn’t have food and drinks. Since events are often done for a sole purpose, those that are executed well, and are able to satisfy its guests, can also benefit its hosts with an increased reputation; that’s the reasons why a lot of big events are sponsored by companies. But in order for an event to be truly successful, it needs to be memorable, and that’s where the problem starts. Every event needs to have its own unique twist to the usual party, and it can be done in many ways, from having performers/bands to make the event even more fun, to having a theme that’s unique. We at BigBenta have a whole load of different people that will help your party out. From Planning to Videography, BigBenta has service providers with the sole aim of giving out their expertise to help you have the ultimate party. Every party needs to be planned well: why not enlist for the help of an event planner to help you out from day one?

A Dedication To My Savior

Right now, I would just like to make a long-overdue dedication to Mariya Takeuchi (竹内まりや), a woman who was literally there for me when I was “down and depressed” (to quote a certain “Crisboy”). She wasn’t literally with me, of course, but her music soothed and strengthened me at a time when I felt alone and lost in this world. This dedication will include a brief summary of her life (credits to Wikipedia, of course), and I will narrate the story of how I came across this wonderful woman’s music. The last part of the series will list down her songs (in order of preferential precedence), and there will be some comments made as well.

Takeuchi was born in Taisha city in the Hikawa district of Shimane Prefecture. She spent a year studying in the United States while she was at high school. Her musical career started in 1978 while she was studying at Keio University, with the single "Modotte-Oide, Watashi no Jikan" (Please come back, my time) and the album Beginning. The 1979 single "September" and the 1980 single "Fushigi na Piichi Pai" (Mysterious Peach Pie) were both hits. Takeuchi has had at least one song appear on the NHK program Minna no Uta.

Up to December 2008, Takeuchi had released 11 studio albums, 35 singles, several compilations and a live album which was recorded in 2000. Her total sales have been estimated at more than 16 million units by 2009. Her 1994 compilation, Impressions, sold more than 3 million copies in Japan alone, and became her best-selling album.

Her husband is the musician Tatsuro Yamashita, with whom she has one daughter.

- WIKIPEDIA

There’s no denying that she’s an accomplished musician in her own right.

During the dark days of August 2015, I was a lost spirit who was looking for inspiration. For the longest time (since 2013, I think), I would think about the teleserye “Lumayo Ka Man,” on ABS-CBN, and I really wanted to know what the name of the theme song was. Of course, I didn’t know that the T.V. series was based off the song at the time, and so I wasn’t aware that the title of the song was “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin.” It was only on August 2015 that I chanced upon the song while looking at my YouTube recommendations (since I tend to listen to a lot of OPM. I was immediately enamored with the beat, melody, and the lyrics of the song. The composer and singer, Rodel Naval, was also an accomplished musician in his own right.

I kept on listening to the song for several days, expecting my interest in the song to dissipate in the coming days. To be frank, my situation wasn’t reflected by the lyrics of the song. Let me post the lyrics of “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin:”

Lumayo ka man sa akin At ako'y iyong limutin Masakit man sa damdamin Pilit pa rin titiisin. Mga lumipas na ligaya Ang kahapong may pag-asa Mga pangarap na walang hanggan Ay naglaho paglisan mo, mahal ko. [*] Pagkat saan ka man naroroon Pintig ng puso ko'y para sa iyo Naghihirap man Ang aking damdamin Nagmamahal pa rin sa iyo giliw Limutin man kita'y di ko magawa Hindi pa rin ako nagbabago Ang pag-ibig ko sa iyo'y Lagi mong kasama. Mga sandaling ligaya Kung ikaw ang siyang kasama Sana ay di na natapos pa Wala ng nais pang iba. Sa gabi'y naaalala Nalulumbay pagkat wala ka Ang yakap mo'y aking inaasam Sana'y maulit pang muli Mahal ko. [Repeat *] Tuluyan man tayong di magkita Umaasa pa rin ako sinta Pagkat mahal kita manalig ka Walang katulad mo sa buhay ko Ikaw lamang ngayon, Bukas, kaylan man Naririto ako asahan mo Ang pag-ibig ko sa iyo'y Lagi mong kasama. Ang pag-ibig ko sa iyo'y Lagi mong kasama.

The primary reason why this song isn’t applicable to me is because the premise of this song hinges on the fact that the two parties are already in a mutually romantic relationship, something that I have never experienced.

(TBC)
