Hello! I'm Patricia Go, and I'm deeply invested in the different aspects of Philippine Pop Culture. My interests include the lively (and sometimes heartbreaking) sounds of OPM (Original Pilipino Music), the catchy beats of the K-pop scene (mostly Blackpink), the exciting world of online gaming and esports, the ever-changing trends on social media, and the impactful world of social media influencers and vloggers. I see these topics as not just personal favorites, but also as a reflection of what's popular in the Philippines. These interests keep me connected and allow me to explore different forms of entertainment and creativity.

This is Blackpink, my favorite group of artists since 2017. I went to watch their concert here in the Philippines last February 2019. I can honestly say that pictures don't do them justice. It was my first and only concert to this day and no other experience has ever compared.

Philippine esports is growing fast especially in this digital era. MLBB is one of my personal favorites.

It is evident that this genre caters to the diverse needs of the Filipino audience. OPM provides emotional solace, relatable narratives, and a sense of national pride. Fans find personal identification with the music, using it as a basis for their own experiences and emotions. The accessible and relatable themes in OPM songs allow listeners to seek gratification in the form of entertainment, emotional release, and even social interaction as these songs often become conversation starters.

Furthermore, OPM has served as a means to bring about cultural change by incorporating contemporary trends while still having strong Filipino sentiments. The rise of indie artists and bands has brought fresh perspectives and styles into the mainstream, challenging the conventional norms and expanding the boundaries of OPM. Artists take advantage of social media to engage with fans, thus setting new agendas in the music industry. In essence, OPM remains an evolving cultural artifact that reflects and shapes the identities of the Filipino people.

I would like to highlight OPM (Original Pilipino Music), particularly the work of December Avenue, as it resonates deeply with me and significantly contributes to the cultural aspect of the Philippines. December Avenue, known for their emotive ballads and melodies, exemplifies the passionate Filipino spirit. Their songs, such as "Sa Ngalan ng Pag-Ibig" and "Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw," have not only reached the hearts of Filipinos but have also received recognition internationally. OPM, as seen through the lens of December Avenue's music, is more than just a sound, but a celebration of Filipino creativity.

Neon is the first Filipino agent in Valorant, and her inclusion is a significant step forward for diversity and representation in the game.

Neon's voice lines are also full of Filipino references. For example, she says "Walang problema" (no problem) when she agrees to something, and "Mabuhay" (long live) when she wins a round.
