    Hello! To answer some of your questions:
    - They're not dialects, they're languages. Dialect, for example, is Manila Tagalog/Batangas Tagalog/Bulacan Tagalog or Bisaya from Cebu/Bisaya from Davao. Each member speaks Tagalog and their respective languages from their home provinces.
    - Mo (cornrow guy) can rap too. 😉
    - The script featured at the end of the MV is Baybayin. AFAIK other Philippine languages have their own traditional scripts. Baybayin isn't the only one.
    - MV director JP Laxamana tweeted that the featured traditional dances in the choreo came from Luzon (takik), Visayas (beneracion), and Mindanao (pangalay). You can find them all in CZcams. ^^
    - Main dancers are Taneo (the group's leader and the one who played the prince in the MV) and Jao (the blond one).
    - The candle dance is Pandanggo sa Ilaw.

      Thank you so much for sharing this information & explaining the difference between dialect vs language! That makes more sense now lol.
      We’ll definitely have to look more into those other traditional dances!
      Also good to know the main dancers, It definitely shows in their performance! 🫶🏻

    ALAMAT is quite a hit with the Filipinx community bc it gives them more opportunities to connect with their Filipino roots. Thank you for the reaction vid and the visible appreciation for our culture and traditions! Hope you get to react to their "Kasmala" music video as well, and the live vocal performances of Maharani.

    Yeap their dance is called Singkil, a traditional Filipino folk dance from the Maranaos. Jao with the white hair and Taneo (partner of Jho) are the main dancers of Alamat. The MV do have subs, pls. turn on the subs. From one of their interviews they said that usually the queen dances for the king but this time it's the other way around. It's sort of like a courting song from my perspective but could have other meanings. Their dances, fashion, musical instruments, lyrics and concept are tradition/history/culture-rich. They're an amazing group. Pls. do more Alamat reactions. Thank you po❣️❤️💙❤️

    Really recommend Kasmala! The music video has a lot of references to/depictions of US colonialism, like how the indigenous Igorots were brought to America to be put on display in a human zoo to justify US colonization. I saw in one of the comments that y'all are from Cali, so you'll appreciate the references to the manongs!

    New subscriber here and im glad you discover Alamat… some of Magiliw (fandom) already commented on some of the basic that you need to know with them and im hoping for you to react to other songs.. all of their songs are amazing, standout in every genre and hoping that we can have Alamat genre in the future since they really varies song that’s totally different to each other..

    Lead dancers are Jao (blonde) & Taneo (leading man).
    Main vocalist is Mo (braids) but he is also a main rapper along w/ Alas (the one whose clothes you like)
    Tomas is also main vocals (the one who made the nice notes at the end)
    R-Ji is sub vocals (blue hair)
    But technically the positions are already moot as they all sing, rap & dance in their songs
    Btw there are english subtitles in all of their MVs :)
    The character names are characters in a folklore

      And yes, we’ve tried to read subs while reacting but it’s hard to read everything and watch everything at the same time 😅. We’ll have to look into the lyrics for next one prior to reacting!

    I'm not sure if it was intentional that you did not push the translation button, but all Alamat's songs actually have translated captions, and if sung in different Philippine languages, they tell you which language.
    If vocals, you can check out ILY ILY on Wish Bus and Litrato with Thyro Alfaro (who composed Maharani). For socially relevant themes, , Kasmala (colonialism, racism, etc.) and ABKD (colorism, etc.). Sexy, culturally rich references, Aswang and Porque.

    Two folk dances were featured.. the first one was 'Singkil', a folk dance of the Maranao people of Lake Lanao depicting one of the episodes in the epic poem Darangen..
    The second dance when they were in the field was Tinikling.
