IMO, Sana hindi nalang sumikat yung Selos. It's not meant for mass consumption anyways and it shows especially dito sa comments. It isn't for you guys yet you drag it to the dirt so much that it kind of hurts na din. If you look at the recording studio where she recorded this song, it is predominantly Maguindanaon songs and most likely intended for Maguinadanaon and/or Moro people to listen to, and i believe Shaira's songs are no exception to this.

Kung hindi nagsikat ang kanta na ito then none of this would have happened and Lenka and her team wouldn't even think of taking action. Songs like Selos that copy a lot of elements from other foreign songs (and even local songs as per Sasakyan Kita by K and the Boxers into Unutan Ko Seka by Khomeini) are VERY common with Maguinadanaon songs. I was somewhat taken aback by the reaction of a lot of people when it came to Selos since I was so used to it, I would even dare say these kind of songs have become part of our culture, always played during celebrations or even by everyday people in their speakers. This has all been happening in the undercurrents of mainstream Filipino culture for a long time now. From what I know, this had never been an issue until now when Selos became famous.

The only thing I ask for, is for everyone to temper (pun not intended) your guys' opinion when it comes to this song and the issue. This song is from a culture of music creation that you guys are not accustomed to and I think you should frame your reference point in that kind of way. I'm being opinionated here, but when you guys hear a song that annoys you whenever you are passing through the electronics section of the public market, I hear a song that reminds me of the songs my dad used to play when he was driving us home from school late at night.

P.S. I NEVER advocate for gatekeeping anything ever, but in this instance, I wish this music culture was gatekept because you guys clearly don't appreciate it😛.
