alam niyo when you go to concerts like the one in #alamat, makikita niyo na the fan wars are really just in the internet space. the attendees are from all walks of life. may dedicated magiliw, may casual listener, may ibang fan of p-pop group who wanted to try other p-pop concerts, may nasa labas lang tapos nabigyan ng ticket to watch, tapos may iba na mapera lang talaga at gusto pumunta ng concert with their magiliw friends. basta, iba-iba. and when you think about the variety of it all, and how during the concert, it's just a pure collective feeling of embracing our local culture and supporting the fight for a better future, grabe yung mafi-feel mo. as in different sa mga gigs/concerts that you usually go to for pure enjoyment. lahat lumabas ng nft na bukod sa sobrang amazed sa alamat and the whole team behind the concert, they were also got inspired to make a change. AND THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW YOU ARE ALREADY A SUCCESSFUL GROUP. the mainstream may not be able to measure alamat's worth through the lens of "charts" and "revenue" but you can surely see it outside of our homes, from the very festive streets to the outcries of our brave fellow protesters. alamat, you truly are one of a kind. I realized na maharani isn't your greatest and most timeless song that you've ever released. I realized na it will always be your advocacy all along. your songs are just messengers, carriers just like all the folk tales we grew up with and will be passed through many generations. I'm so glad to be a magiliw. 🤎
