Filipino Reactor. Keeping it real and natural.
I am Nephi Acaling. I am native to Bacolod City but currently living outside the Philippines due to job assignment. I’ve lived in different countries like Singapore, Japan and United States due to job assignments. I was in the US when I started this channel thus the confusion to some where I am truly based.
At a time, I was a band vocalist performing every Friday and Saturday night at a local bar chain but recently decided to quit from my band to focus on my KZbin Channel and my full-time job as an engineer.
I was a member of the Filipino Voice Symphony where I was taught by professional chorale singers (e.g. former soprano from UP Madrigal Singers). Our choral group actually bagged the Gold Medal in the International A cappella Championships held in Singapore in 2011.
I was the Glee Club president and was a trainer for various singing competitions when I was in the university - all these were humbling experiences for me.
WHAT IS THE GOAL?
My mission is to promote music among different regions and try to make people from different countries relate to each other through music and singing. I have always believed that even small gestures in understanding similarities and differences towards others may actually lead to greater awareness about countries and their people.
In this modern world full of things that divide humanity, it is but perfect to put efforts in re-uniting and building bridges among all of us.
I have come to a point of trying to find a greater purpose in life, something beyond just being happy for a moment. Happiness in life is more meaningful if we choose to be useful, be honorable, be compassionate, and make a difference.

I'm from Philippines and I like listening to Irama Malaysia by Noraniza Idris. I have already memorized Dikir Puteri, Tinting, Ngajat Tampi and Hati Kama.

[@enchemimpi4360]

Irama Melayu

[@silence84ful]

Wow 👍

[@izyannabila4181]

Muzik tradisional Malaysia la yang paling mantap skali sampai skrg. Ada baiknya kalau muzik macam ini dibawa balik ke industri kita sbb muzik mcm ni la lebih dkat pada hati dan unik sebagai tradisi kita

[@agentubi4687]

fun fact is, Malaysia which sparked the idea of ​​closing the Commonwealth Games in 1998 on a large scale in world sports events and then followed by other countries ... because before that the closing of sports events was done in a simple way..but Malaysia took a different step because it was considered one of the steps in promoting malaysian culture in the eyes of the world

Malay Traditional is very popular in long time ago Thailand (they love Dikir Puteri), Indonesia (believe me they know about the Cindai), Brunei (Of course we united together), Singapore (same song and they love P.Ramlee)... This is what i saw and hear

[@lavenderrose21]

You know Nephi, when you keep shouting Siti so pretty so gorgeous etc I FELT THE SAME AS YOU!❤ I'm just love when Siti wear traditional costume with the hair and looks like that. She looks sooooo amazing beautiful. I guess if she wear the same as in the video and go perform on the international stage like MTV or Grammy... I bet the audience will scream like crazy "Oh Lord! She is Goddess Princess THIS IS REAL? She is stunning! She is alive barbie doll!" I feel proud of her with the 'kampung' or 'Melayu' identity she proudly presentend to the world ✨

[@abuimam]

The dude was Jay Jay. He is one of the living legend I adored the most. Former vocalist of Carefree. They did their version "Anak", Fredie Aguilar top hits. Also care to react to Rindu Bayangan, Kau yang tersendiri, Si Baju Hijau, Cukuplah Sekali (won one of AJL side awards), and many more. I think in this event he sang Joget Angan Tak sudah, a traditional Malay tune. He won the earlier AIM award for the best male vocalist.
