There hasn't been as many Filipino male groups or artists requested as the ladies, but we're always open to suggestions from our fellow Tumblr hermits!

Thanks for the tag @heyitsmetonid

I feel like I’ve probably forgotten someone

The following local acts bagged wins at Brazil’s Breaktudo Awards:

BINI:

International Breakthrough Artist

International Music Video for “Cherry On Top”

SB19:

International Male Group

BGYO:

Song by New International Artist for “Patintero”

what i got from my research is that basically new bands are influenced by k-pop and j-pop (which are popular among the filipino teenagers) drawing less inspiration from western genres. also some of then actually trained under korean trainers as well :o

i wasn't sure if i should add ben&ben and iv of spades since they aren't really promoted as a p-pop but hmm it's still filipino but they just doesn't have that k-pop and j-pop influence. (i will update when there are new songs or bands if i ever remember also recommendations and corrections are okay!)

note:

BOY GROUP: SB19, BGYO, Alamat*

GIRL GROUP: MNL48 (being the filipino "franchise?" of AKB48), BINI

*the group Alamat (ᜀᜎᜋᜆ᜔) promoted themselves as a multiethnic and multilingual group (tagalog, ilocano, kapampangan, cebuano, hiligaynon, bikolano, and waray waray) jesus christ this is so cool
