ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

2016 in Philippine music

In 2016, many great musicians in the Philippines made some fantastic music that people were happy to listen to. They sang about lots of different topics, like love, friendship, family, and social issues that people were going through in their day-to-day lives. Some musicians even sang about how wonderful the Philippines is and how proud they are to be Filipinos.

One band, Ben&Ben, released a song called "Ride Home," which many people enjoyed. The song was about going home after a long day and feeling happy to see your loved ones waiting for you. Another well-known Filipino artist, Yeng Constantino, also released some new songs in 2016. One of her popular songs was called "Paasa (T.A.N.G.A).” It was about being fooled by someone who pretended to love you but was just playing games.

Some Filipino musicians also sang about important social issues, like corruption and lack of equality. For example, Ebe Dancel sang about these issues in his song called "Bawat Daan." In the song, he talked about how people in power sometimes take advantage of their authority to benefit themselves instead of helping others who need it more.

Overall, 2016 was a great year for Philippine music. Many artists made great songs that people loved to listen to, and some even used their music to bring attention to important social issues.
