I remember going to the opening ceremony! it was CRAZY! we stood in line for hours and we had to eat aced sandwiches to solve our hunger since we didn't eat breakfast. We were currently living somewhere a little farther from manila so we had to drive for hours just to get there. there was so many people that the food stalls ran out of RICE, we had to eat our food without rice. I remember taking a lot of pictures there and there was a Milo stand that gave out free drinks, man I miss the old days when you could go out without a facemask.

All of your video's is amazing,😍 i like it so much specially when it comes to the philippines😙😊😊😊😍

[@geoffjao]

The genre of the music as sang by Christian and Aicelle is called Kundiman. Behind them is Bayanihan or that “lifting of the house together” which is similar to helping one another hand in hand. As the video progresses, you’ll encounter a few more Filipino terminologies like: • Sarimanok - fictional or mystical bird • Pangalay - graceful dance movements amongst traditional Muslim Filipino women • Tinikling - the Filipino dance that uses bamboo “sticks” or those at least two parallel bamboo rods • T’nalak - the traditional Southern or Dabawenyo fabric with intricate motif and designs • Barong Tagalog and many more... The song which Elmo Magalona sang entitled “I am the man from Manila” is originally sang by his late dad and Philippine’s former “King of Rap,” Francis Magalona.

[@jocylnaveed6566]

The flag of the Philippines has 3 stars that represent Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The 8 rays of the sun, represents the provinces that were conquered (correct me if i am wrong, fellow Filipinos) during the time of the wars. If blue is at the upper part of the flag, then it means that everything is at peace. If the red part is at the upper part, then there is war. 😉

[@harlenequinzelle8522]

Fact: The whole performance during the SEA Games Opening Ceremony shows the history of the Philippines through the dance and music genres. From the Sarimanok (Dancing Rooster) to Singkil (King and Queens dancing with bamboo sticks) to Spanish Colonization (Lajota) to Modern Day (KJ Inigo and Elmo performance). Something like that. There sure is a lot more to be included in the history but maybe that was the best way for them to simplify the whole sequence of changes in history up to date.
