Good day! I am Maxine Erika A. Ang Espina, a 1st year BSA student from Mapua Malayan Colleges of Mindanao. My top 5 Philippine Pop Culture interests are related to what I do everyday and watch or listen during my free time. The first one is the Pop Music, recently I enjoy listening to different artists that are into Pop or songs with good beats like “Hev abi” and “MayMay Entrata”. The second one is Soap opera genre which is the “Abot-kamay na Pangarap” teleserye in GMA that can be watched via TV or live in Youtube. When I was a child, my third one is the “Komik” it’s is a type of book/magazine wherein what is illustrated are drawn in its simplest form. The fourth interest is Film which is “Ma’am Chief” because it is unique and the shooting of the film takes place in Korea. The last and fifth one is the uniqueness in the Filipino food, like adobo and sisig.

One Philippine Pop Culture that I want to highlight on this Padlet is the influence of K-drama and K-pop in the Philippines. It is known to have played a significant part in the country’s pop culture. The influence of Korean replications has affected the way Filipinos style themselves, language, entertainment, and even food. The growing popularity of Korean dramas and K-pop has gained a massive following in the Philippines, and the community and fan activities related to these trends.

Like the influence of K-drama and K-pop, contemporary Philippine pop culture changes things in unique ways. Let's view it through the perspective of semiotics theory. Signs and symbols are discussed in this idea. K-pop and K-dramas have a unique visual and symbol language. This language affects how Filipinos see and talk about love, fashion, and society. The stories and styles from these cultures bring new symbols that can change traditional ideas.

Now, consider the theory of Uses and Gratifications. According to this theory, people deliberately select the media they listen to or watch depending on what they need or desire. Thus, Filipinos are looking for something when they watch or listen to K-dramas or K-pop. It could be a means of self-expression, escape, or connection. We may better appreciate the impact of contemporary Philippine pop culture and how it transforms people's relationships and emotions when we comprehend why people find these things appealing.
