Thankyou GMCLA for singing filipino songs so graciously!!!!

[@mariakamatis7989]

I am Filipino and the first song brought me to tears. 'Pasko na, Sinta ko," is a Filipino Christmas love song. It tells of one who is missing a beloved during Christmas time. The second song, "Ang Pasko ay Sumapit," invites one to be happy, to sing joyful songs because Christ, who is love, was born. Dances were tough ones but they were delivered superbly! You bring people joy and surprises!! Bravo!! Bravo!!

[@pilmeyker]

Only GMCLA can render Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit with such gusto via singkil at that. Singkil! I can't. I just can't. It brought me so much joy! Mabuhay kayo!

Ang galing galing talaga. Thank you GMCLA for bringing me joy!

The first dance they did is "Binasuan" where the dancers balance three glasses filled with water/liquor. Probably they want to show that the Filipino Christmas is not totally dry.

[@evelyntan5588]

Pandanggo sa Ilaw. That is why they have votive candles. Binasuan is when the glasses have wine and the dancers have to pretend they are drunk while dancing. Love how they had a mixture of dances including singkil.

[@evelyntan5588]

Just realized it was culturally insensitive to have singkil, a dance from the muslim region of the Philippines while singing Christmas songs but no harm was intended.

[@eniametten3025]

Lol, sineseriso niyo naman haha. Yong mga interpretive dance nila ay more na parody to me, mga beki kasi sila kaya i guess gusto nilang express ang feminity nila, haha😂

[@polos4th]

Binasuan with confetti is hilarious! But the music rendition is superb! Sad covid Christmas brought me here!

[@larlareal4947]

Yeah...the sad song...emotional but I smiled...that binasuan and tinikling-singkil combination...heheheh..cute...never thought of that...
