Untold Stories: Ume-MTV Na Feeling May Social Relevance


Habang ngarag-ngaragan sa pagtipa sa keyboard dahil naghahabol ng deadline, may music sa background. Naka-shuffle mode ang media player kaya nakakagulantang ang mga tumutugtog--from Regina Spekpektor to Avenue Q to E-Heads to High School Musical to Andrea Bocelli... Tapos umeepal din 'yung Pussycat Dolls minsan-minsan Basta.

Tapos habang nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pagmumuni-muni kung bakit kailangang 2 or more na trabaho ang kailangang karirin ko at ng marami sa mga kaibigan ko para lang mabuhay, biglang umatak sa playlist 'yung Untold Stories. Hala! Ito pala ang soundtrack ng buhay ng mga Pinoy. Hindi ko kinaya.

At na-distract na 'ko. Parang masarap gawan ng MTV. Montage ng pictures ni Gloria, ni Mike Arroyo, nu'ng mga alipores nila, ni Erap, ni Marcos, ni Imelda [grabe, aabutan ako ng Pasko kung ie-enumerate ko lahat. Basta tingnan na lang ang pattern]. Tapos segue sa mga batang kalye, mga matatanda sa kalye, basta lahat ng nasa kalye. Tsaka 'yung mga pila sa NFA rice. Then kailangan 'yung mga batang nagdidilim ang magandang-bukas dahil kung saan-saang trabaho nagbabagsakan. Tapos isali na rin natin 'yung mga contractual employees mula pier, hanggang department stores at fastfood chains, media networks, etc.

Untold Stories

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only he knows how we get through everyday

All the hike in the price

Arm and leg we have to pay

While our leaders play


All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab

Tief never love fe see tief wid long bag

No love for the people who a suffer real bad

Another toll to the poll may God help we soul


What is to stop the youths from get out of control

Full up of education yet no own no payroll

The clothes on my back have countless eyehole.

I could go on and on the full has never been told


I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only he knows how we get through everyday

With all the hike in the price

Arm and leg we have to pay

While our leaders play


Who can afford to run will run

But what about those who can't they will have to stay

Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity

In these times I say: When mama spend her last and send you go class

Never you ever play


It's a competitive world for low budget people,

Spending a dime while earning a nickel

With no regards to who it may tickle; My cup is full to the brim

I could go on and on the full has never been told


I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only he knows how we get through everyday

With all the hike in the price

Arm and leg we have to pay

While our leaders play


All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab

Tief never love fe see tief wid long bag

No love for the people who a suffer real bad

Another toll to the poll may God help we soul


What is to stop the youths from get out of control

Full up of education yet no own no payroll

The clothes on my back have countless eyehole

Could go on and on and the full has never been told


Could go on and on and the full has never been told

Could go on and on and the full has never been told

Could go on and on and the full has never been told

Could go on and on and the full has never been told


Punyemas. Ang cliche. Panahon pa ni Marcos, cliche na 'tong sentimiento de bobo na 'to. Kaso until now wala pa ring nagbabago.
