@ thenabulaks > Basically he's saying to listen to him for he want to tell his story about his beloved country...it's about he lived in the ghetto...that people call it hell but to him it's pure heaven...it's been awhile that he hasn't been back home and it feels good to be home again and taste his mother's home cooked meal...that he was 14 yrs. old when he left and he wished that he was able to help his brother ( who apparently commited suicide) .......OMG! this brings tears....

MY BELOVED FILIPINO PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! FILIPINO LANGUAGES ( e.g. TAGALOG etc...) tend to be referred to by FILIPINOS AS DIALECTS....( source GOOGLE...PHILIPPINE LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS...........IT IS THE RIGHT SOURCE instead of arguing and debating...make your research...MARAMING SALAMAT!BEP FOREVER!!!

[emsing2001]

what the fuck! TAGALOGS are not the ONLY FILIPINOS SUCKER! TAGALOG is JUST A FUCKING DIALECT! FILIPINOS BISAYA(CEBUANO) ILLONGO,WARAY, KAPANGPANGAN! ETC. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

THE THE REAL GANGTERS WHO DONT RAP LIKE SHIT ARE THE BISAYA! KURATONG BALELENG FILIPINO MAFIA SYNDICATE! NOT HIPHOP KIDS!

[daysofinspiration222]

The language varies from island to island a lot. Tagalog is the main one but, for instance, I'm in Cebu right now (I'm Canadian but I'm spending a year here volunteering at one of the orphanages) and they speak a different dialect.

[preciousXoXo123]

Each one of us have our own story upon the apl song... Went back home last march. It changed a lot after 15 years one thing didn't change, the corruption...So pls tell me why most flips are going out of the country to be nurses and care givers and yet back in our home land there engineers and finance admin... ? The educated ones that leaves? First thing we think about is getting out..leaving the home land. SAAN TAYO and where do we stand ?

[pilipinas1898]

I'm glad that Obama recognized the Filipino veterans. Im really really happy when I heard that news before. Out of all American presidents since World War 2, he's the only president who didnt break the promise that America would give monetary assistance to GREAT FILIPINO VETERANS. Mabuhay ka Obama!

[SaltedPerson]

This is amazing. I love this song.

[LoveTheLies]

i really miss the philippines now. i want to go back to maasin and see my lola (whom i call nanay somehow) and my cousins and ride in a jeepney and a tricycle again. this song is so amazing.

[crazyhead48]

This song makes me feel a certain emotion. It's like sadness and happiness put together. I also love the fact there's Tagalog in this song!

[oxnarddad]

sure would like to learn to play it in piano. lovely song and very nice rendition.

[KrayziiE1]

+1 ccggam :D

[hotwheelsmark]

mabuhay tayo mga filipino

[crazyhead48]

I wish BEP's songs were more like this and "Where is the Love" because they have meaning, not like "Boom Boom Pow" or "My Humps." And to all of the people hating on the Philippines, go over there and experience it yourself.

[kakarock94]

so true man well said

[ccggam]

no it rlly means the life of mine. buhay life and bahay house

[ccggam]

i cryed, this song is soo touching to me! I cant help but wonder how many filipinos lived after that horrible flood?? most filipinos DONT know how to swim. I went to philipines a couple of times and there was soo much poverty. it broke my heart to see little kids, younger than me suffering i was so hurt. so i am soo proud to be a filipina! THREE STARS AND THE SUN! 2 all the ppl who makes fun of us. hope u get run down by a truck bitch!!

[NathanielSolis]

Im a Proud to be Filipino!! Mabuhay Pilipinas!

[darenbigdaddy]

good job.. but watch this version..

watch?v=Nehl85mUW44&feature=re­lated

[heymaria123]

Its funny , how music speaks to the soul. I had no clue what apl was saying, but I knew it was a powerful song and had true meaning. and based on the translation it is...and I love this song. and this is my first time seeing the video...it is a tear jerker.

[aznricecannon]

I know what you are saying. I could only pick up words here and there (lost my ability to speak tagalog when i was a kid) It is a nice song.

[theRoadsideDENTIST1]

I maybe wrong but from what i heard, Apl's brother in the Philippines died while he was in the States, so the line "Brother, wish I could have helped you out" is a personal message for his brother.

love this song, kudos to Asin for the original refrain

[PhilipinoPride001]

FUCK yeah Blackeye Peas representing the Pinoy's hell yeah

[RoxxyRambo]
