Bb. Pilipinas: The evolution of a theme song
The Bb. Pilipinas theme song – how well-loved this tune is. In this entry, check out its evolution through several decades of the annual beauty pageant.
Below is how composer Nonong Pedero originally envisioned the musical arrangement and interpretation of the iconic theme song of Bb. Pilipinas with all-female vocals.
This is the version with Apo Hiking Society as interpreters.
This was the version arranged by Ryan Cayabyab during Bb. Pilipinas 2000.
This was how the theme song was sung and arranged during the Ruby Year of Bb. Pilipinas back in 2003.
Below is the Bb. Pilipinas 2009 version of the theme song.
If you watch the entire clip below especially during the latter part, you can hear the version of the Bb. Pilipinas theme song back in 2010 – the last year that GMA-7 handled the production before it moved to ABS-CBN the following year.
This was the arrangement of the theme song during Bb. Pilipinas Gold as interpreted by Martin Nievera
This is already one of the modern versions of the same.
Wala po bang “Evolution of the shoes”?… to chunky platforms hehe
Only now has the WIFI advanced enough to allow me to hear everything you complied, Sir Blogger.
There is that Hotdogs’ contribution to the “Manila Sound” of the 1970’s, that love song a guy sang to assure his girl his loyalty is without waver. Nonong Pedero’s “original” is the closest in spirit, and therefore must be SAMPLED in an ENTIRELY-NEW composition…
… entitled “Honey”, with Paolo Ballesteros’ bet/ward doing a solo in the Opening Act. Think Cassandra Chan’s ballet “exhibition” last year, with her Binibini sisters all pointing to and extolling her. Very Polish Supra-swag. 🙂
Last year’s uniform was abbreviated marching band, the epaulets so (Yves) Saint Laurent…
… (Jearson) Demavivas must now be commissioned for his version in t’nalak. He must also be assigned to oversee the bespoke weave that will become the capes on this year’s titlists. Mr. Tinio, you go scout around for the swimwear designer for the tasteful/tasty one-piece that will go with the cape; just make sure the two designers cooperate closely – NO SOCIAL DISTANCING, please – so that the colors do not clash. Can JP do it? Or, you know others…. Sash will be BLACK & GOLD, to appease the “Metal Rat”, the nCoV19 that spread worldwide by hitchhiking on the “metal galleons” of this age – airplanes.
