For me: Salindiwa - musical geniuses!!!
"In a local music scene where other people often
measure success with fame and the number of radio
hits, there is still a rare breed of struggling
musicians with pure talent fueled by sheer passion and the overwhelming desire to reach out to as much people as they can. Undoubtedly, this rare breed includes Salindiwa..even the impressive recording of this album
is just a taste of how powerful and tight this band is live. I can hardly recall if the band ever played this song live the same way. Just goes to show the limitless possibilities of real musical talent. Every element of this song is a treat: from the rolling drums, the fiery guitars, the undeniable groove of the
bass, the compelling presence of Maik as a frontman and the magical, sarsuwela-like keyboards. Thematically, the song is about drawing the power to face life's toughest challenges: "Pumikit ka at subukang marinig ang tinig/Ng batang kinalimutan kailangang tumibay/Tumapang. Gumapang./Ang mundo sa iyo walang utang." - Cris O. Ramos, Jr.
