Hello, everyone! Welcome to my personal Padlet! I’m Luigi T. Felicia, a psychology major and the former President of the Mapúa MCM Supreme Student Council. I’ve always been passionate about Philippine pop culture because it reflects our creativity, identity, and evolving way of life. I find joy in exploring different aspects of it, particularly in Original Pilipino Music (OPM), TikTok trends, Filipino streetwear, digital influencers, and contemporary films. OPM has always been close to my heart, with artists like Eraserheads, Kitchie Nadal and MYMP shaping my love for music that speaks to emotions and personal experiences. I also enjoy viral TikTok trends and memes, which show the humor and ingenuity of Filipinos, making everyday life more entertaining. In fashion, I admire the rise of local streetwear brands like Don’t Blame the Kids (DBTK) and Team Manila, which promote Filipino artistry through modern designs. I admire Celine Murillo, a TikTok creator and environmentalist, whose content on the Philippines’ rich biodiversity raises awareness about conservation. Her work, especially on native trees and the famous “Boom Tarat Tarat” bird, inspires me to be more conscious of our environment. Lastly, I appreciate Filipino films that challenge stereotypes and highlight social realities, such as indie films and Netflix originals that bring fresh storytelling to the mainstream. These interests keep me connected to the pulse of Filipino culture, reminding me of how dynamic and expressive we are as a people.

For this Padlet, I chose P-Pop (Pinoy Pop) as my featured contemporary Philippine pop culture trend. Over the past few years, groups like SB19, BINI, and Alamat have brought Filipino music to a new level, proving that local artists can compete on the global stage. I chose this trend because it represents the modern Filipino identity—bold, innovative, and deeply rooted in culture. P-pop is significant today because it challenges the dominance of foreign music, especially K-pop, and encourages Filipinos to take pride in homegrown talent. What makes P-pop unique is how it blends international influences with Filipino elements, using Tagalog lyrics, traditional themes, and local storytelling. The growing fanbase of P-pop, known as "A'TIN" (for SB19) and "Blooms" (for BINI), reflects how music can unite people across different backgrounds. More than just entertainment, P-pop is shaping national pride, proving that Filipino artists deserve recognition on the world stage.

Using the Uses and Gratifications Theory, P-pop’s rising popularity can be understood by looking at how Filipinos engage with it to fulfill personal and social needs. For many fans, P-pop serves as a source of inspiration and emotional connection through its relatable lyrics and powerful storytelling. Songs about self-love, struggles, and Filipino values resonate deeply with listeners, helping them process their emotions. On a social level, P-pop promotes a strong sense of belonging among fans, who actively participate in online communities, streaming parties, and fan events. These interactions provide an escape from daily stress while strengthening friendships among people with shared interests. Furthermore, P-pop serves as a representation of modern Filipino identity, allowing younger generations to embrace their culture in a way that feels fresh and relevant. It’s more than just music—it’s a movement that brings joy, empowerment, and cultural appreciation.

Beyond personal fulfillment, P-pop has also influenced the local music industry, media landscape, and even the economy. Media outlets now give more recognition to P-pop, with performances featured on international platforms like Billboard and Grammy Global Spin. This increased visibility shifts public perception, proving that Filipino artists can achieve global success without compromising their identity. Economically, P-pop has boosted the local entertainment industry, generating revenue through concerts, merchandise, and endorsements. Additionally, it provides job opportunities not just for artists, but for producers, choreographers, and content creators. More importantly, it inspires aspiring Filipino musicians to pursue their passion, knowing that local talent is now being recognized on a larger scale. P-pop is not just a passing trend—it’s a movement that continues to shape Filipino culture and strengthen our national pride.
