Applauding is not rude. It's how people show their appreciation. Mind you, this is a concert, not some theatre play where you only get to clap in between songs. Filipinos are hard to be impressed. Libera got a standing ovation because they deserved it. It's a patriotic song, and these kids who aren't even from the Philippines sang it brilliantly. Of course people won't hold back from clapping!

Filipinos were applauding because it is a patriotic song.Written by Constancio de Guzman during the American era, this song was sang during the long funeral march of Ninoy Aquino after he was assassinated in 1983. Three years later, it was used his wife Cory Aquino on her campaign for President, eventually leading up to the People Power Revolution. Just a couple years ago after Cory died, filipinos again went to the streets and sang bayan ko.

This shows what this song meant to filipinos

@SmashBros10 Well said! Bayan Ko is a very sentimental song for Filipinos who love and value and had fought for freedom. For it to be sung by friends from another culture with voices like Libera...how can a Filipino not stand up, clap and proclaim 'yes, we're indeed free!'. Mr. Prizeman's arrangement of it, not going too far from its prestine origin adding those runs of harmonies ala-Libera, all the more made Bayan Ko a song the Filipinos will be proud to sing. Salamat Libera!
