STELL IS THE VOCAL INTRO!!!
Fun fact: In Filipino mythology, there used to be 7 moons. That dragon ( Bakunawa which means bent (baku) serpent/snake (nawa), was actually facinated by the light of the moons because he live in the deepest, darkest waters. He developed a desire for them, so he started eating one moon every century (which became the origin of eclipse). There were multiple versions on how we has defeated, one is ancient Filipinos banged their pots, pans, and drums because they found out that it is scared of loud noises. The other one is before he could eat the 7th moon, we was punished by Bathala (highest/supreme god), so that is why we only have one moon. Some say he's still waiting for his chance to get the last one so there is a tradition where every century, people would make loud noises using pots but this tradition is rarely seen now. In short Bulan have beef with the Bakunawa which is seen in the MV.
UP!
This is a good way of summarizing it :)
I was looking for this comment. UPPPP!!!
yeahh 👏👏👏
Up
Come to think of it... the chronology of the song makes sense tho. Where in the beginning of the song in which Bulan (Felip) recovered memories of his past being a Moon God. After that he rallied the mortals to prepare for the upcoming war to save the Haliya (Moon Goddess) from being devoured by the Bakunawa (Moon Eater/ Serpent Dragon). In which, if you may notice that most of the scenario of the song is in RED and Balck, depicting the scenario of the Blood Moon and the story in the Philippine Mythology of what happens when there is a Blood Moon. If you listen closely to the tune of the song... you can hear a repeating loud sound of a Gong all throughout the song, which is the weakness of the Bakunawa. And at the end of the song we can see the stillness of everything, and that the moon is back to its normal state signifying the victory of defeating the Serpent of devouring the moon.
The intro is the voice of Stell.
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Woah! Thanks for the info.
UPPP
up!!!
Yep, it's in the credits
The vocal intro is Stell 💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥 thank you waleska been waiting for your reaction… felip is 🔥🔥🔥
To be honest I felt ashamed the first time I watched Bulan by Felip. As a Filipino at mid 30's, I barely enough knowledge to our Folklore especially Bakunawa, Bulan and Haliya. Yeah I might heard them but not dig deeper to their story. Same goes to this generation that undervalued this kind of subject. I'm just so grateful to Felip to came up a topic like this. It given us awareness that somehow we are neglecting our very own root.
Actually pwede din may pagkukulang ang school natin to teach more alamat kasi narindi lng ako sa alamat ng pinya paulit2. Kulang din ng story books and writers kaya I like Adarna house sana may ganito din
Me too. I'm actually fascinated about the moon and heard this myth a long time ago but sort of forgot about it. I thank Ken too for exploring this side of the Philippine culture and including it in his art.
@@ChristineAgravante cultural base kase ang Mythology natin, ang Bakunawa is never heard in our place. Like for example Tikbalang, aswang, kapre at iba pa ay wala sa amin yan, kaya siguro hindi nakalagay sa libro,
@@zethcao11 my dad is from bicol but i live in manila mas lagi tinuturo sa amin sa CSA ang greek mythology
@@ChristineAgravante you have a point, hindi lang Greek kundi Roman Myth, natangkilik ang foreign, pinatay ang local, kung nailagay kase sa libro kagaya sa amin na daming kinuwento ng lola ko kagaya nga Bangan at Gatan (equivalent of Adam & Eve) kasi hindi naisulat, ngayon patayna wala sa kabataan nakakaalam, ganun ang nangyari kung bakit namatay ang ibang Myth natin. One thing more napansin ko rin sa kwento ng lola ko it was full of Metaphors kaya minsan tinutulugan ko kase hindi ko naintindihan, at bata pa ako noon yung ate ko ang interesado, I came to appreciate only when I studied the Book of Psalms na maraming metaphors.
The Bakunawa is a serpent-like dragon in Philippine mythology. It is also a moon-eating dragon.
Moon also "bulan" in bahasa..very surprise ;)
Great MV & singer!!!!
"Stell Ajero, his bandmate in SB19, also lends his voice to the track as he chants at the intro and at certain intervals in the track, giving it an ethnic feel." -- GMA News Entertainment
STELL did the intro vocals. Wohoo!
Bakunawa (sea serpent) was said to have devoured several moon deities (siblings of Bulan and Haliya).
If you may notice, after that ethnic feels from intro vocals there was a transition to guitar riffs and heavy beats because Bakunawa's weakness is loud noise. 😱
Wow. Thanks for that detail
Some MV references, first stell did the intro vocals and is also heard mid-song.
So Bulan and Haliya are siblings and are moon deities that is said to be devoured by Bakunawa (sea serpent). In the lyrics of the song, Bulan warned Haliya about Bakunawa
The song is loud because it is told that people shoo away the Bakunawa by creating a loud noise, people used gongs and you can hear one on the end of the song.
Felip and his team consulted experts about their concept to avoid revisionism to happen. The beats are co produced by Josue, Pablo's brother, he also co produced Palayo. Felip made the song and beats last 2020 and 2021. Palayo was his least favorite song but is released due to Public demand. So this is most likely what he is supposed to debut on.
After the gong sound, the moon shone brightly. Indicating they have defeated or atleast made bakunawa go away. 🔥 Brilliant!!
@@caaarming Yes indeed
Please watch Cashual Chucks new upload about Bulan. He explained very well the story of Bulan and its connection with SB19 in a brief documentary video ❤️🔥

Yes. Felip a.k.a. Ken is from the Philippine Boygroup SB19. Listen to more of their songs. Felip has one other solo single entitled 'Palayo'.
@@akosiamaya1954 thanks for the information 🥰
Also please watch SB19 his Ppop group their leader also has 1 solo song La Luna which they discussed here
Tnx
They definitely have their own sound. Check out their What? And Bazinga songs, just to start.
I am really looking forward on your RV, Thank you!
SB19 Stell did the Intro Vocals. Thank you so much for reacting!🥰
Felip's symbol, aside from creating the letter "S" for Suson (his surname) and Su.Perior.Son (his clothing line), are two crescent moons which represents Bulan and Haliya, 2 of the 7 moon deity siblings.
We've been waiting! Thank you for another great reaction
Seven moons were created (Bulan, Libulan, Haliya, Subang, Banolor, Banilig, and Mayari) by Bathala (supreme god) to shine light during the night (Adlaw is the sun). Bakunawa, which is a sea serpent, was captivated by the moons’ beauty would swallow one moon every 100 years. Centuries later, only one moon is left. Thus, when Bakunawa tries to devour the last moon, there would be an eclipse and earthquakes as well. So in ancient Philippines, whenever there is an eclipse, the people would make a loud noises and bang drums to scare away Bakunawa (or until the eclipse has finished).
You can watch this to see how they scare away Bakunawa: czcams.com/video/vD656KPnrv8/video.html
damn
Very well explained among others 👌
thanks for the link

Kung ito lng sana ang sinusuportaan ng mga pilipino, sguro mas sisiskat tlga tong group na to, ang galing pa nmn mg SB19 at ang ganda ng mga songs nila
Susuportahan lang nila kapag nakilala na sa buong mundo.
INDEED!
Ang mga artists kasi na tinatangkilik sa Pinas ay 'yung gumagawa ng kanta na ika nila "pang-masa". If I were to be frank, sanay kasi karamihan sa atin sa pucho-pucho. Gaya ng mga kantang may mababaw na lyrics, walang creativity, at hindi pinag-eeffortan. Madalas dine-dedma lang yung mga kagaya ni Felip na isa sa mga underrated genius artists.
mostly ksi sinusuportaan ng mga kabataang pilipino, mga koreano ksi, kya ang nangyari natatabunan na ng mga kpop ang pilipinas, ,nasasayangan tlga ako dito sa SB19 ksi makikita mo tlga sa kanila na pursigido tlga silang itayo ang bandera ng pilipinas at makilala sa ibang bansa
@@akirayamazaki9556 suport nila kc maputi hahhahssh
'...Puts them above average!' So true! I love BULAN. It opens our eyes to Pre-Colonial Philippine Mythology that we've never known before. Thank you for this wonderful RV.
Thanks for the RV! Agree, Felip's voice is sooo good! I really love that deep voice! So dope!
I really love it when efra mentioned about Lay's LIT. Super agree with both of you. It is super good and love it so much. Kings indeed.
Finallyyyy! im waiting to your Reaction video to Felip BULAN MV! Thankyouuuu❤❤ and i would like you to know that the intro vocals was SB19 Stell Ajero!❤
He said in one of his quick interviews in stationed that he want it to be anime-ish on top of being ethereal (as it should as a moon God), he was inspired by The Dunes, Prince of Persia, and Gaara (Naruto).
The intro vocals is SB19 stell 😊...
Just want to share.. My grandma had mentioned to me several times that, when she was a kid (1950s/1960s) and there was a lunar eclipse, the people in their village would bang on pots and pans and shout to the sky "i-uli ang bulan! i-uli ang bulan!" (Return the moon)
So I showed her the Bulan MV and Cashual Chuck's mini documentary, and she was like OOOHH so THAT was why they were making so much noise!
Idk, I guess it really shows that Filipinos around 50/60 years ago actively believed in the bakunawa and other myths. I'm glad that Felip released this song/MV and sparked a discussion on Filipino myths and culture among the younger generation.
Actually kahit ako, inabutan ko pa ang ganyang sigawan at tambulan tuwing may eclipse nung bata pa ako. Early 2000 ginagawa pa yan dito sa Cebu, nakikisigaw rin ako kasi yan sinasabi ng lola ko.
If I remember correctly, the "Bakunawa" is a sea-serpent or dragon like creature in the Philippine mythology, and it’s known for devouring the phases of the moon, which during pre-colonial times, these phases of the moon were individual gods/goddesses including "Bulan" and "Haliya" (the two crescent moons).
"Bulan" and "Haliya" are sibling god and goddess of the crescent moon. In our mythology, the Bakunawa had swallowed their other siblings (the other phases of the moon). Haliya and Bulan were the only ones left. Every now and then, Bakunawa would attempt to swallow Bulan and Haliya, but they would often protect eachother. The Bakunawa would disappear to loud noises including gongs, which is why at the end of the MV, the creature could not be seen anymore with the sound of the gong. Also, the logo for Bulan is actually the two crescent moons, representing Haliya and Bulan.
I might have missed some details relating to the story of the mythology and relating it to the MV. But this was all I remembered from online research.
So crazy..the vocal intro of Stell is another level..OMG
We're waiting for this yay thanks!
That dragonserpent/bakunawa is part of the philippine mythology 😌
In an interview, Felip said that him and his team decided to go for anime-ish costumes so as not to offend certain cultures here in the Philippines since this music video is their own interpretation of the Bakunawa (sea serpent) mythology. Thanks for appreciating Felip's and the whole of SB19's craft. More power to you guys! 💠
To have a better understanding of Bulan (Moon God folklore of the Philippines) kindly watch Cashual Chuck’s documentary on Felip’s Bulan.
Felip's Bulan has gone Global as he is featured in Grammy Global Music Platform. The first full-blooded Filipino to be featured. Pls watch him perform in Global Grammy's You Tube Channel. Thanks
Wow thanks for this info.I'd check it out.
Since this is Philippine Mythology, casual chuck's explanation very much explained the whole storyline of Bulan. Red color palette is basically the blood moon. The time when Haliya was eaten by Bakunawa. Since Bulan was the one who basically saved Haliya, the color palette becomes blue again since Haliya was saved by Bulan.
Fun fact. This was suppose to be released on the date of the Blood Moon May 15. Felip was considerate enough to move it as the country was just about to complete a very heated and divisive national elections. Also it was Stell who sang the ethnic vocals you hear at the beginning and middle part of the song.
Up!!
Up
The vocal intro was Stell. Been waiting for your reaction. Felip is on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for supporting Ken and of course all the boys of SB19 . I'm always looking forward to your reaction videos. 😉❤️
INTRO: Stell Vester Ajero 🌞🍓 Very Powerful and magical voice, goosebumps!
VOCAL INTRO SO INSANE BY SB19 STELL AJERO!... BULANNNNN🌑🔥
💡Do you know the reason why Felip used heavy beat sounds in #FELIP_Bulan?
Everyone noticed that it's louder than his voice.
In the legend, people managed to protect the last of the seven moons from the Bakunawa by making loud noise. They use Gong to make the dragon retreat to the sea.
This shows that the heavy sounds of guitar and other beats used in Bulan serves their weapon against the enemy.
Thanks for reacting, Waleska and Efra! Pls also react to Cashual Chuck's SB19's Dark Obsession with the Moon~ It explores Felip's Bulan song (&OtherSB19 stuff) more! 💙💠
And that's Stell's voice in the Intro and Midpart! 😳
Still watching your reactions, both of you are awesome and for sure not a waste of time to listen to, your insights are giving knowledge to angles people might not noticed.
I wanna visit those locations
Thanks Waleska ❤️ ur reaction iguys s worth the wait!!!! the kind words u extend to Felip' and to his mv is very much appreciated.
Aww . Glad you recognize the quality of the intro and also the entire song and production. 🤗🤗
But yeah , Stell's voice on the intro.. he definitely nailed it like setting the mood of the song.🔥🔥😍
More power to you both .🤗
Yehey! 2nd... Bulan also means moon in kapampangan. 😘☺️❤️
Hey, same here in Indonesia. Bulan means Moon too 😀
Thank you efra and waleska I wait your rv
Im waiting this,after 2 days eyyyy,finally,hehe
Yeeessss my fav reactors to my fav ppop!
thanks for checking this out, best RV/MV lately, for me at least
These two is what i’m waiting for since saturday 😁
By the way love your channel and this is very nice reaction also I rested to this wonderful MV and feeling so Happy of Ken Solo 😊
Tnx for reacting! For FELIP, love u both
@Waleska Herrera - *The Sea Serpent is called a BAKUNAWA. In our myths, the Bakunawa comes out of the sea becomes gigantic at reaches out to swallow the moon, which causes an eclipse.*
It's true. I like your reaction and I had the same idea with Lay's Lit when I first saw Felip's Bulan. Both songs and MV have their own stories (mythology and if I remember correctly, Lay's Lit was about the last stand of a folk hero which is also connected to his Jade song that was the lover of that folk hero). It really becomes a unique song of its own the moment artists bring in some cultural cues into their craft.
Finally, thanks for this Waleska and Efra! 🔥
thanks for appreciating Felip 🤗
As a Moon Lover I really love the MV. I was shookt at first because I've never seen the trailer but when I watched the MV I was dumbfounded. You're so cool Felip
Yayyy I was waiting for your review!! Thank you Wale and Efra!
The Dragon like is called BAKUNAWA a sea serpent in the Philippine mythology, said to eat moons (Bulan and Haliya) And people make loud noise to scare it and stop it from devouring the moon.
The intro in no other than SB19s heavenly voice 😁 and bulan itself is a masterpiece!
I love your reaction in here. Thank you so much for supporting Felip's earth tone music. Ohh You appreciate the riff, the krumping and wise color palette? Yes, his team really work hard for it.
Thank you so much Ken for the advocacy. it is muuch needed to heal our souls as a nation, especially in these times where peddlers of lies and disinformation abound, minions of false prophets and fallen angels.
The RV that I've been waiting for, for this MV. ❤🔥
Finally, been waiting for your reaction to Felip's Bulan. Agree he put this music video on another level. When I thought WHAT by SB19 is the best music video I've seen by far. But Felip and his team step up higher.
As written in the credits, Stell Ajero sang the intro vocals and it was meant to mimic the incantations by babaylans to summon the deities for protection. Babaylans are usually old folks, mostly men but could also be women who are the local healers, prophets, folk priests etc rolled in one. They are also considered folk historians as they know the stories of old. In some areas of the Visayas, their family or relatives memorize the cultural traditions and history and pass these on to the next generation.
I'd like to correct you on this info- babaylans are women po. And were considered as the most powerful member of the tribe (aside from the tribe leader or chieftain) coz even the tribe leaders consult them. They were considered as sacred and had direct connections to bathala/supreme deity.. thanks 😊
Stell did that intro vocals. 🥵😎
Triple kill. Audio, moves and aesthetics. Screaming supremacy ❤
FELIP 😍🔥👏❤️🇵🇭
waleska and efra ~ I am amazed by your interpretation of the meaning of the song and myth. Its 99% on point
the sea serpent is part of the folklore, in this MV it represent negativity (doubters, bashers, hypocrites) . As for me this song is so powerful, its a diss track with a purpose, it empowering us to believe in your capability, regardless what naysayers/doubters think.
Lol, the serpent is the one that tried to eat holiya the sister of bulan, that's why the lyrics says Open your eyes, he is going to eat(her)
@@toynoi5792 its Haliya. right the sea-serpent is a metaphor for people who wants to swallow you whole (to intimidate), so as the song says, wag magpaapi!
@@toynoi5792 clearly you did not get the point lol
Bakunawa!!!!
Clearly this is plagiarized.
Helo I am new subscriber... I love FELIP.. He is a rare gem of 🇵🇭 Thank you for great reaction
She's so smart and beautiful.
thanks for loving SB19 💙💙💙💙💙
😚im happy u reacted right away
Just trying to find your RV a few minutes ago and here it is👌😌
I hope there’s a part two to this. Wouldn’t it be awesome if it’s a whole series?! I didn’t want it to end, either. Epic!
Love learning about other cultures traditions and mythologies like this, from an Indian 🔥✌️Def need more of this type of videos
THE INTRO VOICE/ETHNICAL VOICE IS STELL. THE DRAGON IS MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE "BAKUNA" THAT EATS THE MOON DURING LUNAR ECLIPSE. HALIYA IS HIS SISTER.
This is back by a local mythology the main characters is like a metaphor of the people in our society too. So the way Felip explains the idea behind the song is quite mind blowing he does make sense. If he could explain it that way you can't deny the wisdom between his head and his heart.
Ms.waleska The man who did the intro voice is stell 💙💙
The first time seeing this reminded me of Lay's 'Lit' though. But above all, proud of having Felip and the creation of this masterpiece!
the one and only Stell Ajero did the chant both Intro and mid background.. this MV is Lit 🔥 thank you Wal an Efra!
Literally, it really looked and sounds like Lay's LIT MV. and pls watch it before saying anything
@@EXOeri1485 bka sbe nya napaka angas neto hindi ung lit na MV
Stell did the Intro Vocals 😄
Philippine Mythology is rich & majestic .. Felip introduced one of many well-known Visayan Myth about "THE MOON".
In ancient time, it is said that there are 7 Moons (Buwan or Bulan in Visaya) created by Bathala (Supreme God) to light the night sky when Adlaw (Sun God is not around. The Sea-Serpent or Sea-Dragon in the MV is BAKUNAWA, who is obsessed with the beauty of the 7 Moons. So, every 100 yrs. it will surface from the depths of the Sea and swallow one moon that causes ECLIPSE, Thus the Red Colored Moon depicted in the MV. The BAKUNAWA ate the Moon's on by one until there are only 2 Moons Left, BULAN & HALIYA. When the BAKUNAWA surface again to eat BULAN, HALIYA summoned a sword to rescue his Brother, BULAN. She succeeded & the BAKUNAWA spit out BULAN, but he's no longer a Deity.
As the BAKUNAWA resurface again to eat HALIYA, the remaining Moon. BULAN, that time was a young boy, accidentally learned the BAKUNAWA's weakness, which is loud noise. That's why after the intro Vocals, there came a loud rock metal, guitar riffs, that is also present all throughout the Song. By then BULAN and the people would make loud noises to save the MOON, HALIYA.
The BAKUNAWA stands for the negativity that will try to swallow us.
The LOUD NOISE or Rock Metal Guitar Riffs & arrangement of the song stands for, for me, as our answer to the negativity around us. It should be louder & bigger than those that will to drag us down.
Wal and Ef,. here's Felip's thought of BULAN,
"Bulan" talks about recognizing that powerful being within you and not letting other people consume your light. It shows the darker, more confrontational side of self-love. Because sometimes, the negativity gets too loud to ignore and the only way to get rid of it is to acknowledge the power that you hold and face it head-on.
"Bulan" has lyrics about how negativity is being normalized-"'Di na bago sa 'kin 'to [This isn't new to me]," and for me, the way forward is to dismantle that kind of thinking-"
Whohooo sick!!! Love this
Whenever there's a new MV from SB19 and other Filipino artist I'm always waiting for your RV cuz I always enjoy seeing your reaction as well as your inputs/knowledge on it 👍👍
Among all the reactors I've seen so far, you guys are the only ones who read the disclaimer and I appreciate that, Thank You 🤍
FELIP viewed this reaction video😍✊💙
Been waiting for this haha Thank you, poooo!♥️
ken's clothes is similar of austranisian tribe the ancestors of the Philippines According to historians, some 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, groups of people from Indonesia and Malaysia arrived in the islands of the Philippines to be its first settlers. Both of these countries belong to the Austronesian region and they brought with them their own cultures, traditions as well as languages.
Again. It's the other way around.
Philippines is the ancestors of Malay 😂
I've seen them perform but This is the first time im seeing a SB19 MV...n im just dumbstruck. Not only with the cinematography but with the lyrics as well. Its almost on the level of kpop. Its freakin mad!!!😳😳😳
Pfft...I was living under a rock man.💀
Am I late? Another great rv from these two. ❤️❤️❤️
For me, he looks more like Kurama of Ghost Fighter with his long red hair. But he is definitely influenced by his love of Manga series.
the intro vocal of the music video of BULAN is stell ajero
Wale is so beautiful in royal blue 😍
Oh I’ve been waiting for this!! let’s go!
Your reaction was so lovely ate 😍 I like the way you open your mouth together with ur eyes it's so cute 🥰🥰
so impressive like waaah mind blowing 🔥
