Abstract

The Philippines is a country that values music tremendously. Filipino composers create music that reflects the passions that drive political and social awareness in the Philippines. Serving as a voice for every citizen who is a victim of society and demonstrating the importance of music as a transforming force for national awareness, Filipino songwriters make songs reflecting the challenges of every Filipino. Music is a tool for political and social criticism. It is a means of addressing social injustice. In Aristotle Pollisco's (Gloc-9) five select lyrical poems, this study distinguished the expressions of the Filipinos' struggle with social class and difficulties of the working people. Gloc-9 uses music to depict the challenges of Filipinos, highlighting delinquency, criminality, societal, and political issues, and how parents must scrimp and save to send their children to school and provide them with a bright future. This research focused on Filipinos and their unwavering tenacity in the face of societal challenges. It would delve more into how Aristotle Pollisco, better known by his stage name as Gloc-9, uses music to express these issues. This research attempted to bring Gloc-9 to the Gen-Zs (12-24 years old) whose musical tastes have shifted towards Westernized themes, which are improper and irrelevant to their age.

Abstract

This paper aimed to determine and analyze the experiences on food in conversations specifically on food that they associate with family bonding (get-together) and festivities (town fiesta), and categorize the themes of associations on food choices. Ferdinand de Saussure’s (Dewanti, 2023) signifier and signified concepts were used in analyzing the association on food while the experiences of food during family bonding and festivities were categorized by theme using the thematic analysis template of Brooks, McCluskey, Turley & King (2015). This study used the descriptive research method in analyzing food experiences in conversations through one-on-one interviews and group interviews. Conversation analysis was used as the approach in gathering the data. Results of this study revealed the predominance of meat (chicken and pork especially lechon) pancit, and staple food represented by puto and bibingka. In addition, the food choices are signifiers of the following signified: namely, strengthening the family ties, longevity, prosperity, love, joy/happiness, and simplicity and adaptability. Finally, the family tradition is manifested in passing the recipe from the older generation to the younger generation, offering food for the dead, expressing gratitude before eating around the table, looking beyond the taste of food during family bonding. The Filipino food culture has been preserved through passing the kind of food prepared during family bonding as food symbolizes longevity, love, togetherness, strengthening family ties, and simplicity. The choice of food could be attributed to religious beliefs, financial status, and nostalgia.
