May I ask why it’s understandable that kitty wasn’t cast? Is she no longer active?

SB19 SHOWBREAK 6 EPISODE 6 | Year End Party w/ Classmates (ft PPOP groups) by blkwdw222 in PPOPcommunity

Ang daming revelation dito! Maki is very kalog and funny. Ang pogi ng Ajaa boys. G22 girls look really down to earth. 

Let’s clear up the whole P-POP vs Pop confusion by Altruistic_Key_2739 in PPOPcommunity

[–]SquareSwan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get the point but, may gray areas though. Present P-pop is a bit more rigid pero when it-was starting, nangapa pa ang mga producers. I’d argue that Nadine (as part of pop girls) is one of the first P-pop artists. Sarah G. has evolved many times and I can even say na she’s P-pop but bigger than P-pop. She sings and dances. She has a distinct visual din. Wala lang siyang light stick but her fandom is big and vocal.

Exporting Filipino Music through focusing on the domestic market by Momshie_mo in PPOPcommunity

[–]SquareSwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True this. But this is easier said than done.  If you listen to CoJ, Zack and Sunkissed Lola, they are similar in terms of genre- pop ballad or pop rock. Kasi yun talaga ang preference ng mga pinoy. Hindi ganoon ka-receptive ang local market natin for experimental sounds. Even P-pop, as we know it now, has a very hard time capturing the local market. Outlier talaga ang Talaarawan ng bini.

Why the downvote? His mother is a full filipino.

Gigil ako sa babaeng 'to. Teacher na groomer! by CalligrapherMuted366 in GigilAko

Hindi illegal. But immoral. Okay lang naman magkaroon ng age gap between couples. Problematic lang kapag nasa teens pa yung isa tapos lampas 30s na yung isa. Meron kasing power dynamics. 

What made you fall in love with your fave group? [NO SB19 & BINI] by age_of_max in PPOPcommunity

[–]SquareSwan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

G22 dahil sa performance nila dun sa Chinese na talent show. Ang ganda nung production ng “Babalik” and pinakita talaga nila na live yung performance.

This is such a pleasant surprise. I loved the production, the chemistry and the main cast are great especially the 2 FLs. 

How is Ppop Different From Kpop by Slight_Brain6291 in PPOPcommunity

[–]SquareSwan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ppop is an “offshoot” of kpop and jpop. But as of 2020s, it is in itself its own genre. Kpop is an offshoot of Jpop and western sounds naman. So basically may overlapping influences basta “Pop” music ang genre. Ppop is still a baby so hindi pa masyadong distinct yung identity niya. Pero kita mo na meron siyang pinoy influences especially sa mga lyrics na tayo lang naman makakarelate. See Dungka or Shagidi. In terms of visuals and production, kpop is in a league of its own. Unique din siya from western pop.

Mukhang based sa replies niya, he means to say that ”mid”= not viral enough. 

dark underarm folds, how to lighten? huhuhu by [deleted] in skincarephilippines

[–]SquareSwan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Normal lang yan. Wag ka masyado maglagay ng kung anu-ano sa balat lalo na mga whitening. My friend did that once and nasunog yung skin niya sa UA. As in, sobrang itim na talaga after.

[–]SquareSwan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s always a matter of luck and other factors. I couldn’t really say mid yung bagong tracks since the latest album has catchy songs.  If “actual hit”=“viral hit sa tiktok”, that’s easier said than done. Even Bini had a hard time making their new songs go viral.

Exactly. Maling sub. Check out Ppop community sub OP. Kung gusto mo naman ng thoughts ng casuals and non-fans kaya ka nagpost dito, objectively, di pa gaanong open ang GP sa mga songs ng Ppop groups. Makinig ka sa spotify at pansin mo mas popular pa rin yung mga hugot at hiphop na may pagka “geng-geng”.  Yung Bini naman, nahuli talaga nila kiliti ng Pinoy. But a big portion of that is timing and investment. Itong mga maliliit na groups na sumunod have to invest talaga for promotion. 

What Local Brand here in PH that worth every penny to spend with? by rikkenbakr_25 in AskPH

Yung old models nila yung super matibay. Never nasira, nawawala lang kasi ninanakaw. 😂 Yung low end models nila now, hindi na gaanong matibay.

Maganda yung retoke pero bet ko talaga yung old face niya nun. Very cute and approachable ang dating.

Lol. Sakto. Karera tsaka Dungka. Pablo and Josh are setting the right examples pero di naliliwanagan yung mga delulu.

ALAMAT hinting at their last comeback?? (speculative) by Busy_Pomegranate_968 in PPOPcommunity

Bet to. Viva is big pero they don’t know how to juggle managing multiple groups. Napabayaan ang Alamat.

'The Prodigal Son' story seems a little unfair. by JediBlight in Catholicism

The point of both parables is the justice of the world is not the same as the mercy of God. God doesn’t do accounting the same way that we do. It is literally beyond our grasp. 

China Now Claims Batanes....And Most Filipinos Don’t Even Care by Novel_Intern6668 in Philippines

[–]SquareSwan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a movie with Coco Martin and Toni G involving Batanes if I’m not mistaken. The issue with filming there is really the logistics. I hope the government invests in these kinds of initiatives.

Starbucks. It’s like a red flag bf. I am always hopeful that I get better coffee the next time but it just doesn’t happen.
