This sort of linguistic justice is long overdue. When your language is given value, your voice suddenly matters. Hearing my own regional language given voice on mainstream pop is empowering. I don't think a lot of people realize how 'kbye' is one of the most radical things to happen in recent OPM. After all, a language reflects a specific way of thinking and seeing the world. The advantage of multilingual songs is their ability to process a single experience in different ways, and this is what makes any new single from Alamat extra exciting. You hear the desperation in Bicolano ('Sana kadto pa lang sinabi mo na tulos'). You hear the contempt in Kapampangan ('E ran a ka patawaran dyang pang nanung sabian mu'). You hear the nostalgia in Ilokano ('Idi ket naragsak ka ta unay'). You hear the heartbreak in Waray-Waray ('Kayano ka binaya kasing-kasing ko imo gin tigda'). It's surprising to see the effect that multiple languages will have on one pop song: it adds emotional layers, and while 'kbye' talks about the experience of being ghosted, the conflicting feelings that come with it are reflected in the various languages.

Even the neon palette that the video is going for is associated with jejemon aesthetics which, again, is dismissed as low-brow, 'walang pinag-aralan.' And our favorite Buwan ng Wika mantra, 'Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika.' (which, by the way, is a quote mistakenly attributed to Rizal) is only something you hear in our elementary school programs. Maglalatik looks ridiculous to the culturally uninformed. The jeepney is currently being phased out, associated with the ramshackle affair that is Philippine commute. The banderitas suggest the festive trappings of the common tao. The instagram-aesthetics of pop music does not usually embrace folk symbolism. But there's something about the semiotics of the banderitas, the jeepney, the coconut shells of the maglalatik, and the Buwan ng Wika backdrop that suggest a radical direction that isn't usually elevated in our pop music industry. Many things should strike us about Alamat's 'kbye.' Sure, it's a cute homage to Filipino material culture: a halo-halo of heritage.
