[@xxiechen_]

- Aswang - Gayuma - Kasmala - Sa panaginip na lang - Say u love me

[@leramimie]

Yay! Another rabbit hole Sammy. Of course - their live, wishbus performances next! PPop trademark is their live, raw performances that sound like the produced, studio versions.

[@lordianmorala9259]

I'm waiting for your ppop reaction to DIONE please

[@ysaquill6049]

This group has one of thee most ELITE discography under their belt. ALAMAT RISE UP!!

[@Ver0_Cat]

I AGREE!

[@LooneysWorldOfficial]

Well said

[@ManlySamaniego]

true.

[@acerusioannes234]

"It's got a mix of traditional and modern." Yup he gets it, THAT is ALAMAT! Welcome to the shores of Magiliw Village (villaaaggge?!? 😅) 🖤❤️🩷🧡💛🩵 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@Thoughtspresso]

"About Face" is a military command to face forward, an alternative to this same call is "Attention!"

[@sunoosimp4718]

ALAMAT IS THE MOST FILIPINO BOY GROUP CODED, I LOVE THEIR DISCOGRAPHY I HOPE MANY PEOPLE WILL RECOGNIZE THEM

[@sweetieheartkim9676]

Some of Alamat's outfits as you can see, there's wave patterns, that's actually the traditional outfits of Filipino in pre-colonial. Until now, you can still see that amazing patterns in Malong, a traditional skirt. Actually the Mermaid in Day and Night mv is the mythical creature, she is Magindara.

[@aominetetsuya9175]

I think you will also like their KASMALA!!! It's really my most fav song of ALAMAT... but they were still 8 members back then... so sad the two left :(

[@TFMCeb]

My top 5 Alamat songs; 1. Walang Hanggan 2, Sa Panaginip Lang 3. Day & Night 4. Say You Love Me 5, Maharani Their Wish Bus performances are a must watch too.

[@hannahpsych3072]

Uy! Walang Hanggan no.1 ✨ ang underrated niyan.

[@faithponce8571]

eyy! same , walang hanggang truthers!

[@mbearable1122]

Bini is managed by the biggest media company in the Philippines and they are promoted well. Alamat’s agency Viva is big too. I just hope they spend more on the group-concerts, radio play, promotion...because we don’t want talent like this just being enjoyed by a few. Apart from SB19, Alamat is one male PPop group that really represents the vocals-dance-visual diversity of the PH. Plus their concept alone naturally promotes Filipino culture. Thank you for reacting to Alamat! I wish for more opportunities for them to promote everywhere. 💚

[@magiliwanj]

Couldn't agree more! They have top notch discography and a great concept, but they have to be promoted so that people can get to know them. Can't wait for the day more Filipinos (and music fans all over the world) discover ALAMAT!

[@icaruzgaming8975]

​@@magiliwanjFor me lng ah.They are one of the top list for me sa ppop groups.Unique ang boses nila and they really have good songs.

[@arci1821]

Alamat is the Filipino group that highlights the Filipino Culture, Folks, and other traditional about the Philippines 🇵🇭 ALAMAT IS ORIGINALLY DEBUTED AS 9 MEMBERS IF I NOT MISTAKEN AND ALL MEMBERS COME TO DIFFERENT REGIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES, so you see? different taste and flavor of music combined together, that’s ALAMAT!

[@heino_]

alamat, imo, has the best discography in ppop. i'm just in love with every song

[@nhiknhik]

True. To me, they're like the BTS of ppop who are capable of producing outstanding songs all in one album.

[@lorieteves2397]

Alamat is known for advocating Filipino culture. They incorporate ethnic and traditional elements to their songs and performances from the instruments, dance, outfits

[@maryagustinarda7934]

FUN FACT: in their song "Dagundong" they were actually telling the whole history of the Philippines. Each verse represents a time when we where colonized and every chorus is them going to war First Verse - Spanish colonization Chorus- our ancestors fighting against them Second verse- Spanish settlement and their tyranny Chorus-the beginning of Philippine Revolution Third verse- we won against the Spaniards but plot twist, we were actually sold to America that's why they left Chorus- revolutionizing for the last time It's very fitting that they sounded angry. AND THEY MANAGED TO FIT EVERY SINGLE DETAIL IN A TWO AND A HALF MIN SONG!!!! I could go on and on to explain each lyric

[@Jagazaki.]

Let this girl cooks!

[@sassyfangirl23]

Really? Pakinggan ko nga ulit.

[@sassyfangirl23]

Dagungdung is one of my favorites Pero di pa ako nag dig deeper sa lyrics as much as I dig for maharani.

[@maryagustinarda7934]

​@@sassyfangirl23opo, they even mentioned rizal's noli and el fili as "dalawang nobelang nakapukaw ng mithi"

[@asakp4148]

ALAMAT for me is the most PPOP group out there, since they incorporate Filipino culture in their songs and in their outfits/clothing. I love them with all of my heart.

[@arthurskye]

Sb19 does it too but differently. Alamat is definitely very malalim filipino

[@jessicamantes6820]

Invasive is such an apt description for Dagundong. The lyrics tackle colonization of the Philippines by the Spaniards. The Philippines had been under Spanish rule for 333 years. Such an interesting concept for a song.

[@babymaricarbobihis5889]

You're wondering about their tagline "Alamat, handa 'rap" which means Alamat, about face. Their tagline came from what they say in the military - an order given to soldiers to tell them to turn around and face the other way. Seems like they(Alamat) order themselves to turn around to face their audience for us to see their singing and dancing skills.

[@MVGB90]

"Handa 'rap" ('rap is contraction of "harap") is "Attention" or "Standing upright with an assertive and correct posture." "About-face" is actually the opposite, tumatalikod 'yan par, sa Tagalog ay "Tumalikod Na"

[@classyg16]

Finally! NEXT TO SB19, this is my fave boy group

[@Canmeiberry]

[@shielabellebaliad3650]

I bet you'll also love their song GAYUMA and ASWANG ❤

[@Kampana_03]

ALAMAT have the BEST OUTFITS in PPOP, they always represent traditional Filo fits

[@chaemazing0111]

One of the best Ppop group. Their music really represent Pilipino culture and traditions.. They use different dialects in Philippines which makes them throughly a legend (Alamat). So happy for this boys they deserved all the recognition. Thank you.

[@atinmarix1747]

OMG Alamat! Mo really is vocally versatile.

[@algeeron]

Aswang, Gayuma, Say U Love Me, Kasmala next ❤️‍🔥🤎

[@gcnacario3601]

Up❤❤❤❤

[@rinah9614]

THIS LINE UP!! YES!! It's gonna be mind boggling for sure!😉😉😉

[@ghostlightning]

Alamat to me, is the quintessential Filipino idol group, made with a deep Filipino aesthetic: from ethnicity to costuming to lyrics (which are in multiple vernacular languages which are the native languages of the members). Their discography is the best, absolutely. Fun fact, the Maharani MV featured Bini's leader Joanna (she's the female lead). I can only hope these guys get Bini-level success. The Dagundong track and MV has the subject matter of colonialization and our resistance. (We were colonized by Spain for about 300 years, the United States by 40).

[@amlona4162]

Kasmala & Dagundong are my fave Alamat songs

[@Sigetara]

The traditional dance with the bamboo poles is called Singkil. it is an ethnic dance of the Philippines that has its origins in the Maranao people, a Mindanao Muslim ethnolinguistic group. The dance is widely recognized today as the royal dance of a prince and a princess weaving in and out of crisscrossed bamboo poles clapped in syncopated rhythm, it definitely fits the concept of the song! Also the girl in the Maharani MV is Jhoanna from BINI ❤

[@wendelltulay747]

Uppp

[@myjseven]

seems he didn't noticed the guest hehe

[@sinned58ful]

Singkil po tawag sa Traditional Maranao Dance po

[@sinned58ful]

Ang Tinikling po ay hindi muslim dance. Pareho po nila ginagamitan ng bamboo poles. Magkaiba din po costume nila. Ang tinikling po mabilis ang beat ng kawayan. Samantalang ang Singkil po a mas elaborate ang costume at malumanay lamang po ang beat ng kawayan. Yan po ang pagkakaiba ng Tinikling at Singlil po n

[@MrSammyCam]

Really cool, I’ve never seen anything like it before! Also I can’t believe I didn’t clock Johanna! I noticed they look alike when editing but just assumed it wasn’t as it’s such a crazy cameo😅💜

[@shai_marie]

Yes to this! Thank you for checking them out too! ALAMAT is a group that showcases more traditional Filipino-inspired clothes, dance moves, and even the words they use in their songs. I root for them! ❤ Btw the dance with the bamboo sticks is called Tinikling. It is our national and traditional folk dance in the Philippines. EDIT: I stand corrected... It's SINGKIL. Thanks for the correction guys!

[@shaipasawai]

Actually, it is Singkil. Tinikling and Singkil are almost similar with the use of bamboo. Since this Maharani dance has a main lead Princess and a warrior, it is Singkil. Add: I just realized we have same name. 🤣❤

[@galbatongamadeus6071]

Tinikling is no longer our national dance, it's Carinosa now, but yes a traditional dance

[@jrawny5529]

I'm so happy ALAMAT getting the recognition that they deserve, they deserve to be famous, so far they have the best PPOP discography, I know u can all agree with me

[@Thoughtspresso]

If you loved Dagundong or want to see more of that style (of course the most popular tracks are the pop-y, bright and fun type of things) you MUST check out "Kasmala" (the MV is about the discrimination of Filipinos by Americans during the colonization period). As well as "ILY ILY", and "Aswang".

[@mrKpooper4]

This group has a ✨️no skip discography✨️ and the vocals are just 🤌 Please check out Say U Love Me, Gayuma, Walang Hanggan and Sa Panaginip na lang next

[@LooneysWorldOfficial]

Purrr

[@capricornia_2994]

Alamat Visuals always scream tradional Filipino with modern touch. The costumes, some of dances are tradional dancing too, the instruments they used. Even the Title of their songs and some of the words they used are so traditional like Maharani, dayang, alamat. these words we dont hear in daily conversations these days.

[@jinig4598]

FINALLY, ALAMAT! this is the most Filipino PPOP boy group in terms of their music and fashion ❤

[@ysaquill6049]

"Alamat, Handa, 'Rap" literally translates to 'Alamat, get ready, about face/face forward'. It's a platoon command to cadets/soldiers that precedes getting into formation or marching or whatever.

[@ylanym]

Yes, after SB19 this is my 2nd fave P-Pop boy group. Worth checking: "Say You Love Me" in the Wish Bus and the MV's for "Aswang" and "Gayuma".

[@InoueMagi]

😅 lol not this three XD

[@ultimategabriel]

Their tagline “Alamat, handa ‘rap!” As then English sub said is Alamat, about face. “Handa ‘rap” (long form handa harap) is a military marching/stance command in Tagalog. Much like what you’d hear in western military as “platoon, about face!” But I think it’s also intentionally picked because handa means ready (as in get ready) followed by the word rap sounds like rap like rapping.

[@barotac1]

OMG The multilingual group, Alamat! OMG

[@Angie-Magi-ATIN-Army]

Yes they always incorporate Filipino tradition from clothing instrumentation dance and many more.

[@reginebee2054]

Looking forward for your Alamat reaction part 2 🤎🤎🤎

[@ThisIsNotAhnJieRen]

Thank you for featuring my ult group.... ALAMAT's discography is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Jay-ix9bc]

I'm Filipino who likes acoustic more than anything (Juris, Moira, Maki etc.) and I rarely listen to ppop groups but I really really love Dagundong specially when I heard it first while watching It's Showtime and their group performed there. It was so good. I wish they could be as successful as the other ppop groups cause they got talent and a good song. :) p.s. Not a fan of sb19 but I love their song MAPA and Watawat ba yung title I forgot xD Not a fan of Bini but I love their Pantropiko and Salamin Salamin. These songs grew on me tbh but Dagundong by Alamat hits on the first listen.

[@itsmeyaboi8252]

Alamat’s discography is just 😍

[@sweetieheartkim9676]

ALAMAT's advocacy is to spread the Filipino culture. Stan ALAMAT. 🤎

[@mandyasterisk5195]

Louder and more for ALAMAT

[@shysydney]

the traditional dance is from the muslim south of the philippines, which is called singkil. the girl featured on maharani is jhoanna from bini. alamat means legend in filipino, and their aesthetic reflects traditional culture.

[@Ver0_Cat]

OMG I LOVE ALAMAT! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@iusnas04]

The dance in Maharani is called Singkil, a traditional dance from people of Maranao in Mindanao. Yes, the head dress is a rooster but also called Sarimanok a legendary bird from Maranao too.

[@jsravilob6656]

Sana more promotion sa alamat at mga music video nila kasi madaming historical symbols ang pinapakita nila even sa kanilang lyrics.they storytelling and they tell about our history. They deserve recognition and awards too. I hope we fans of alamat or even other fans of ppop, promotes this group idol more like we did on Sb19 and bini as well as horizon. They deserve our support.

[@aenyway8]

You wont regret getting into Alamat! ALL and i mean ALLLLL their songs are good ❤

[@cb0526]

The traditional dances in the Maharani video: 1. “Singkil” is a story of a princess lost in a forest. The bamboo is the forest and there’s an earthquake caused by the spirits that trapped her. 2. “Tinikling” is a rural dance and most common traditional Filipino dance. The dancers are birds and the bamboo clappers are farmers trying to catch the birds. I am Filipino American, and I learned these dances during college, so it was very nice to watch. It’s my first time seeing this group, and it was a great first impression. Thank you for introducing me to them~

[@leramimie]

Alamat song recommendations? Their ballads are good too! > Walang Hanggan > Sa Panaginip Na Lang > Say U Love Me Notice there are Bisaya lines there. They even covered a Spanish creole (Chavacano) song: Porque

[@jenblanco17]

YEHEYYY!!!! Finally Alamat! They deserve more recognition internationally ❤🎉

[@STN4D]

LEZGOOOOOOOOO ALAMAT is the most Filipino PPOP group in the scene. Each of their MV and songs scream OPM.

[@ianrufino196]

thank god you reacted to alamat this group is so underrated

[@kycc00]

Congrats, you've finally unlocked the holy trinity of Ppop! SB19, Bini, and Alamat!!! Alamat give a whole new different flavor in the community. (thanks for the G22 love too btw)

[@DailyDoseKarina]

Dang, I'm not even done yet binge-watching Bini and Sb19s RV.. now you dropped this! 🔥🤯🤯

[@asakp4148]

This group has no skip discography. They're awesome 😊

[@KarenRvnj]

Alamat is very heavy on Filipino cultural references in their MVs, especially their outfits. Love that you're diving into the P-Pop music scene. I'm here for it

[@mikhai75]

If we have the Kings of PPOP, ALAMAT is the prince of PPOP for me. Lets gooooo!! This is my fav. Male group next to SB19. Thanks for the RV..

[@iska1973]

I'm glad you checked out Alamat! Please listen to their other songs -Kbye -Kasmala -Say U love me -Manila Dreams -Ngayong gabi

[@detsuahxe]

MORE ALAMAT REACTION!!!

[@princessabdula5497]

Wow ALAMAT HANDA ❤❤❤

[@Ja-liyaKendra]

YAAAS ALAMAT! SB19, G22, & ALAMAT are my top 3 PPOP groups. I like their music and style.

[@clioh_ethmenel]

Always appreciate to see a fellow MAG-BULLE'TIN / BULLE'TIN-IW in the wild haha!

[@queen_gamer7090]

Same here

[@LiNaW_28]

Same!

[@jurahbarbette]

Alamat is one of my top 3 fave P-pop groups. I love all of their songs. Hope they will become well known in our country

[@vincentgonzales1371]

their intro chant, Alamat, about face, is a whole concept of soldier of in this case of alamat traditional filipino soldiers, like when soldiers says Attention, about face! something like that.

[@luwirap]

Actually, "About-Face" in military means turning into 180 position of attention. :D it's like Alamat is saying you to turn and face them after looking far at something. But it can also means "Ready... Rap!" because in tagalog "Handa" means prepare or ready... About your question regarding the bamboo sticks, yes, that was an ethnic traditional dance called "Singkil" (sing-keel), where they slam and clap the bamboo in tune with the music's beat and the dancers will dance around the bamboo by stepping in it without their feet being caught in the middle of the clapping sticks. Singkil is traditionally danced in southern Philippines because in northern areas, they also have a variation called "Tinikling" (Tee-nick-ling) which is also the unofficial national dance of the Philippines. Alamat means "LEGEND" and this group really loves tapping on cultural side of the Philippines by combining modern and traditional sound, art and fashion! I love this group so much!

[@janelleaquino]

UP.

[@LooneysWorldOfficial]

Yasss

[@SheIsObiquitous]

Alamat always incorporate something traditional in their music/music video

[@botagz]

Alamat always has amazing performance clothes always Filipino-infused 🔥

[@katchiimsn]

My Magiliw x A'TIN heart is so happy!!!! Please also listen to their ballad, Walang Hanggan. Their acting is on another level. BTW, they performed Dagundong with SB19 (if I'm not mistaken)

[@qdlrs-sm4sj]

Hey Sam! Thanks for checking out ALAMAT. I'm so glad you like their music production and style. It's awesome to see someone who isn't Filipino appreciate them. Their songs blend different Philippine languages and dialects in a really cool way. It's not just all Tagalog; they mix in regional languages too. And you're totally right about their easy-listening style. It's modern meets traditional, so those unfamiliar instruments in the background are actually traditional Filipino ones. Their outfits are also a mix of modern and traditional, with beautiful fabric patterns. You should definitely check out "Gayuma," "Aswang," and "Manila Dreams." These songs incorporate Filipino folklore, urban legends, and beliefs.

[@jukayv]

Please react to their songs Aswang and Gayuma

[@sunflowerdia]

Just you wait till you get to their Wishbus performances! The voices that are getting you mesmerized in their MVs are levelled up sonically when you hear their live performances on Wish. They are also the real deal as you thought they are. Much appreciation to you for checking them out.

[@ThisIsNotAhnJieRen]

Check out other ALAMAT songs: Gayuma, Aswang, Say U Love Me, Sa Panaginip Na Lang, Walang Hanggan.

[@javis5278]

Thanks for discovering the P in the PPop they're so Pinoy (colloquial for Filipino) as they come from the different regions/provinces in the Philippines. Their music infuses traditional and modern sounds...and a lot of their outfits are made by different tribes and indigenous materials. Thanks for this reaction please react more to their music if you want to know more about Filipino culture and history.

[@earolljane6278]

FINALLY!!!! THANKS FOR THR RV. I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY THEY BLOW UP COZ THE DESERVE IT AND HAVE THE TALENT FOR IT!

[@ysaquill6049]

Yes, yes, more Alamat!! it's about time the world knows about them. let's go Tamala!!

[@barchieriverdale6940]

Alamat members are from different parts of the Philippines. Their songs/MV’s has so much of Philippines culture as well as they sing some from parts with their own dialect/native language

[@aimee2867]

Alamat's concept & discography is a feast for history,culture,fashion,language,music nerds. Other people say their style is campy, but every detail in their craft is intentional and backed with interesting facts.

[@SkadooshyX]

ALAMAT! My TOP PPOP Boy Group!

[@Saiii046]

Only alamat represent philippines culture❤

[@Hevi-o8r]

The shade, i kennat 🙄 everyone does,as long as you are Pinoy,

[@amimeonji]

[@BeeHiveColony]

OMG. Alamat is my 2nd favorite PPOP after SB19. You might want to watch ILY ILY and Aswang. By the way SB19 Josh and Alamat Mo has a song collaboration.

[@almirarapista5]

Finally Alamaaaat !! Please react to their ballads as well ❤ 'Sa Panaginip na lang' and 'Walang Hanggan'

[@RORA_RAMI_AHYEON_BABYMONSTER]

[@notalexturner2901]

ALAMAT IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PPOP GROUP they represent filipino culture and languages so well and I enjoyed this reaction so much! You earned another subscriber! Hope to see more Alamat reaction vids from you soon, hopefully a deep dive into their theme and advovacy!

[@faithponce8571]

Yes! Finally ALAMAT! thank you for the RV!.. They usually incorporate filipino traditions, cultures, and history to their track, fashion, and aesthetic.. Also each members speak different PH languages, and some of their songs has 2 to 7 languages on it.. Please check out more of their song, they really have no Skip discography, and very versatile artist.. Here are some of my recommendations from them. Gayuma (love potion, to be enchanted) cyberpunk style/genre ILY ILY ( about the Overseas Filipino workers) Multilingual and multi-genre song includes; Ballad, kundiman, pop, and rock in one song Aswang (a shape-shifting monster / creature from PH) more like a Triller sound Walang Hanggan ( a Ballad song) their acting in the MV hits hard 💯 And please react to their Wishbus performances, they're good at live and their Harmonies are superb,.. Wishbus performances : Say U Love Me Gayuma ILY ILY

[@extraextra6919]

They have the best concepts in PPop and songs are bops too

[@hansyy21]

Eyy MrSammyCam really deeping deep into Ppop!! Alamat appreciation! Let's go Tomas!

[@giliwpam]

[@webwanderer3193]

Thank you for discovering ALAMAT. They're the best PPOP group when it comes to discography!!!

[@aria9960]

eyyy finallyyyy my very first ppop😍👌✨

[@iamisabelle1089]

Alamat always gives their best. Joanna did great too 🥹

[@AnnaGiliw]

Finally! My ALAMAT boys!!! They have a lot of cultural references. All these are my favorites songs from them. They also incorporate the different languages here in the Philippines. Thank you for reacting to them. 🥰

[@jufelbalinas]

Yes 👍 Alamat!

[@rinah9614]

Alamat's agency, Viva, is actually one of the biggest and oldest entertainment agencies here in the Philippines. They manage some of the biggest names in the industry from actors to singers. Alamat is like the 2nd gen (i think) idol group they produced in tandem with Ninuno media. They don't really have a great record in handdling idol groups and so far Alamat has been the most successful one yet. Alamat used to be 9 members, but some left for personal reasons. That chant: "Alamat, handa, (ha)rap [alamat, about face]" is their actually also their group introduction. It's just similar to the soldiers' call for platoon attention. Do checkout also the live performances from the boys. Oh they also sound better live as always with out ppop groups. Checkout their wish bus perfs. Top of the list is Ily-ily

[@1432ramon]

That is a Military Drill Call/Command especially on ROTC/CAT and even in PMA...

[@lorieteves2397]

You actually said their names right! Thank you for reacting to them. let's go Alamat!

[@Vanderriech]

I really love this group beside sb19 and g22. They're the group which mostly sticks to our Philippines traditions more like "ethnic ppop boyband"

[@jace0901]

omg you totally gotta react to Alamat's kbye (absolute fire of a debut single) and kasmala (another in-your-face song) too!!

[@naidzamidtimbang8654]

SB19 fans also love ALAMAT!!! Their sound/music is so Filipino, they're so cool and talented too.
