If you were in a band, what would your name be?

Because I like Bon Jovi.

I would name it Bon Jovi, too.

He inspires me, so I hope to inspire him also.

Hi, my name is Dana Louise and I'm 18 years old.

I've started being a fan of OPM ever since 2017.

I've discovered Four of Spades.

And then ever since that, parang napasok ko sa isang rabbit hole of like OPM music.

And then like, I've been to a few shows like Zilds,

small shows at Shangri-La or Ayala.

I listened to like David Lasalle, Indy Audrey,

Geico, and a lot other more.

I feel like OPM is unique in the sense na

andun like yung Filipino pride, yung cultural influences.

Minsan nadadagdagan pa like ng ating social political views

that makes it unique na relatable sa ating lahat.

I'm a little nervous.

I'm not that sure kung paano ako sila madediscern,

pero like, I'll use my detective skills na lang siguro.

Hi, I'm Herman Rie.

Hi, my name is Dana Louise.

Hi, my name is Michael De La Serna.

Okay.

Hi, my name is Dana.

Hi, I'm Ben.

Hi, I'm Dana Louise.

First question is, describe yourself like how your mom would describe you.

My mom always said that I'm talented,

and that I learn quickly,

and I always take things too seriously.

Actually, parang medyo burara kasi ako.

Pinapagalitan ako because my socks are everywhere.

Pero, you know, hardworking naman ako.

Well, it's kind of funny because my mom would describe me as like a cutie pie,

but I'm like a 27-year-old, like, grown-ass man.

Yeah.

Ano yung masasabi sa'yo?

Oh, can you speak in English?

I'm not really that good in Tagalog.

Oh, okay, sure.

How did your mom support you in your decision in becoming a professional musician?

Well, they believed in me enough that they sent me off to music school.

So, yeah.

Yes, actually.

We trained guitar, and then I did not become a guitarist,

but mostly, I sing.

That was the start of my love for music.

Ah, first instrument ko, piano.

Kaya ayaw ko siya ngayon.

So, ano na yung instrument ang gusto mo ngayon?

Acoustic guitar.

That's my main.

I wanted to try the violin, but I really, really suck.

So, I started doing piano, and then I forgot that too.

I was kind of a dumb kid.

What are your current influences for your music?

When I was younger, I was listening to a lot of John Mayer and Bob Marley.

But now, Muse. I like Muse.

Bruno Mars. I like Bruno Mars right now.

When I was younger, I only listened to John Bon Jovi.

Very baduy.

So, my bandmates didn't really like me.

Pero now, I listen to a lot of...

Parokya ni Edgar, yes.

Oh, okay.

He's my favorite.

I don't know.

Because I grew up listening to Lady Gaga a lot.

I know, I'm like a dude, but I like singing Lady Gaga songs by myself.

It's kind of sad, but okay.

No, that's fine.

That's totally understandable.

Okay, the challenge is...

Have the contender reach their foot over the curtains.

Check their style if it could give you hints about being a musician.

So, can I see your shoes, please?

Uh, okay.

Wait, hindi ko makita.

Gotta pay first, though.

Um, I'm seeing white shoes na...

Nandito na may black stripes.

Okay, so these are Nike shoes.

A little same with, like, the second contestant.

And they're on-the-go shoes still.

Okay lang siya for a musician.

Parang everyday shoes, gano'n.

I think, pang ano siya?

Workout na panglabas na shoes.

And very on-the-go.

Correct.

Especially, siguro, pag musician,

kailangan medyo maano ka-adapt sa katutugtog.

Oo, hardworking.

So, yun. Thank you!

May all sila na distinct style,

especially when it comes to their music.

Kasi I think na music influences their style.

Contestant number one stood out,

especially dun sa shoes niya.

Kasi the two contestants wore, like, rubber shoes.

Hmm, I think, siguro, top choice is two.

And then, sunod si number one.

And then, sunod si number three.

Pero, um, medyo vague pa yung nakikita ko as of now.

And I'm looking forward dun sa mga next challenges and rounds

para mas ma-discern ko pa kung sino talaga yung professional musician.

And hi! Welcome back!

For the first question,

tell me two truths and one lie about yourself.

Okay, two truths.

Yeah.

Um, okay. So, this was weird.

As a kid, I learned how to pick locks.

Another one is, I went back here to the Philippines with my dad and my mom.

And then, uh, we went to, I don't know that beach.

Is it Borat?

Borat High?

Yeah, that one.

He left me under the sun.

I got really burned.

Oh!

And I still have a scar from that.

And one other one is,

I was downstairs and my mom said to call my brothers

because we were going to eat dinner.

And my stomach wasn't feeling well.

So, like, I started farting up the stairs.

And then, I went down and then I farted down the stairs.

Okay.

My brothers thought something died.

Okay, I think the lie is the last one that you told.

Oh, shit.

They're all true.

What?!

I got nervous, okay?

Hindi pa ako nakakapanood ng concert.

And then, there was a time na nasagasaan yung gamit ko.

Oo.

And lastly, there was a time na I had to play an instrument na hindi talaga main ko.

So, I'd say yung lie is yung first one.

Hindi ka pa nakapunta ng festival?

That is true.

Ay, where?

Oo.

It's a dream.

Okay, so yung nasagasaan yung gamit.

Ah, totoo rin yun.

Hala!

So, yung lie is yung last?

Yes, yes.

I only play what I know.

Oh.

When I was in grade school,

I failed my final exam in music.

There was a time I wanted to be a painter.

And I can climb trees.

Okay, I'm guessing the lie is yung...

Ano ba?

Yung lie is that you wanted to be a painter?

Yes.

Yes! Okay.

The next one is, what music festival do you dream of performing at?

I never really thought of it that way.

I'm not aware of the festivals.

Is Pink Pump a festival?

I mean, locally, I think Wonderland is one I've always wanted to play in.

Before, when I was younger, I wanted Rock Rakan,

but I kinda outgrew that genre.

I guess, like, Coachella.

You wanna play at Coachella?

But actually, my friend went there and he said it was really nasty.

It's full of sweaty people.

I mean, it's a big deal.

Yeah, it is.

That's a pretty big deal, playing at Coachella.

Wonderland.

Wonderland.

Why Wonderland?

Ginahay ko lang yung nauna.

Actually, you know, I live near the South,

and usually, Wonderland is in the South.

Easy transportation.

Challenge is, sing your favorite song to me.

Are you sure?

Go!

I can sing a John Mayer song?

Sure, go ahead.

Hold on to whatever you find, baby

Hold on to whatever will get you through

Hold on to whatever you find, baby

Cause I don't trust myself with loving you

Ang galing! Ang ganda ng vosis mo!

If di ka pa professional musician, go mo na yan.

It's called, You're a Trail.

And I was there when you took your first step

Into a world that was bright as the sky

I held your belly there against my chest

I was there when you needed a cry

Ang ganda din ang vos mo. Ang hirap!

Paano to? Lahat kayo, magaganda boses niyo.

I'll just sing the song I was listening to on the way here.

Okay.

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

I'll say a little prayer for you

Okay, thank you for that.

You've got a good voice as well.

Grabe, di ko alam kung lalinawan ba ako

Mas nahilo ako dun sa answers nila.

Pero I think yung nangunguna ngayon

Is si contestant number one.

May mas more knowledge siya about stuff.

Mas more clear and direct siya about sa answers niya.

The other two were like, I guess hesitating pa on their answers

They were thinking pa.

And ang ganda na boses niya.

Kay three, medyo nahihirapan siya kung tinaabutin yung song.

Kasi medyo mataas siya, I get it.

Pero like, I think you would sing a song that's better sa singing range mo.

And kay contestant number two, I think good naman yung boses niya.

Maganda din yung sa kanya.

Almost the same as contestant number one.

Pero dun nga, medyo nag-hesitate pa siya sa mga answers niya.

Kaya I think nangunguna ngayon si contestant number one.

Hi, welcome back!

Hi!

So, first question is, if you were in a band, what would your name be?

Anything na magpa-pop sa mind mo, you think na creative or like unique?

Oh, that's hard.

Uhm...

Uh, may Dirty Dog Collective, I don't know.

Ano-ano?

Dirty Dog Collective, I don't know, I don't know.

Because I like Bon Jovi.

I'll name it Bon Jovi 2.

Bakit Bon Jovi 2?

He inspires me, so I hope to inspire him also.

I have like three close friends who actually play music, but we all play the piano.

So, I guess it would be like,

Bon Jovi 3.

Four Weird Guys and Lady Gaga 2.

Are you feeling right now, Reina?

Confused.

Not happy.

Okay, what kind of music would you produce in that band?

Oh, you know the answer.

Living on a prayer again.

Diyos ko po!

Kinakabahan ako sa question na to.

Who inspired you to pursue music?

No, it was my mom.

Okay.

She played the piano and like,

she had the CDs in her car growing up.

So like, I listened to a lot of The Carpenters.

Yeah.

When I was a kid, yung barakada ko,

mga musicians din.

So,

imbis na mag-basketball or what,

we go sa garahe,

tas tututugtog kami.

Yeah, that's what inspired me.

Everyone was just always playing,

and I just wanted to like, join them,

kasi it looked fun.

Kahit wala sa tono,

so yun yung inspiration ko dun.

So, how long have you been professional musician?

I'd say,

eight?

Eight years?

You really see everything change

over the years.

The timeline has been segmented

into pre- and post-pandemic, right?

So, can also be pre- and post-TikTok.

Sadly,

we did not play Bon Jovi.

Ano yung genre nang piniplay ng band mo ngayon?

Ah, reggae.

Oh, okay.

Okay, what did you learn at music school?

My professor,

he asked me,

at what point,

like, how much money would you accept

to write lyrics for,

like, dirty Bon Jovi?

It was really weird.

Actually, he got fired,

so he did get canceled,

so okay.

And last is the challenge

to play something on the guitar.

Sure.

You want me to sing?

Play.

Okay.

I thought I was going to sing,

this is only one chord,

this song.

Okay.

That's it.

Okay, thank you.

Um, sa round na ito, ang grabe. Okay, ang gaganda ng mga sagot.

Manjobby 2, Lady Gaga 2.

Contestant number 1 siguro muna tayo.

From the first round, I think he was very head-on with his answers.

And with his style then, I liked the shoe.

He also knew what music festival he wanted to play at.

Kay contestant number 2, he gave me more detail this round.

Especially with the reggae band and yung liking stories.

Kay contestant number 3, medyo nahihilo ako sa kanya.

Kasi all I knew about him was like, his mom being Filipino.

And like, he's having a little trouble I think playing with the guitar.

Pero I'm not quite sure on that.

Okay, medyo kabada.

Pero I think the professional musician is contestant number 2.

Okay, I chose this contestant more of based on sa instinct.

I think he gave a little more detail when he showcased his talent.

I think he shined a little more brightly.

And I think that he knows what he's doing when it comes to professional music.

The professional musician is contestant number 2.

2, 3.

Hi!

Hello, hello!

We're 4.

Hi, hi!

What if I told you that I've fallen?

And I like the way you say my name.

I'm okay with being by your side for as long as I can hide.

What if I told you that I've fallen?

Oh my God!

Hi guys!

Are you not a moron?

Oh my God!

I am Michael De La Serna.

We are judging your answer though.

I'm so sorry!

Bonjour, V2!

This new song is called Raining in Manila.

Sometimes it sounds like it's about LDR.

But it's actually about our friends who left the country in pursuit of a better life.

Stream Raining in Manila!

Raining in Manila, right?

1, 2, 3.

Nalaming,

And it's been raining in Manila,

Hindi ka pa nilalaming.

But if it's raining in Manila,

Hindi kita maririnig.

Kahiga maisa na minig.

So I'll be waiting in Manila,

Kahit di ka nababalig.

Maulan ba sa inyo pag bumubuhos dito?

Paumanid at mukhang hindi ko

Masasabayan ang yapak sa pagmiti,

Sa pagiyak, sa paglipad at pagbagsak

Ng araw-araw

Sa pagpikit na lang kita

Matititigan sa mata

Sa panaginip na magpapaligaw

Kamusta ka na?

Kahit wag nang sagutin

Di ba na wala

Ang kintab ng bituin

Sana ganun ka nga pa rin

Cause it's been raining in Manila

Hindi ka ba nilalaming

Mahirap bang mag-isa

Nanginginig

Cause it's been raining in Manila

Hindi ka ba nilalaming

Pag wala ang mga tala

Madilim ba ang mundo?

Thank you for watching!
