Guy sings ‘Ikaw Nga’ by South Border

IKAW NGA – A guy singing the hit song of OPM band South Border has gone viral, garnering mixed reactions from the netizens.

Filipinos really love singing, and there are many reasons why. First, when the Philippines was controlled by countries like Spain, the United States, and Japan, singing became a way to show who they are and to stand up against those foreign powers.

Second, singing is a way to tell stories and share important things in Filipino culture, like passing down stories from one generation to another. Third, Filipinos like to come together and sing, especially during gatherings and using things like karaoke machines. This helps them become closer as a community.

Fourth, singing lets people express their feelings, even if they can’t find the right words. Fifth, Filipinos hear a lot of music in movies and on TV, which makes them love music even more. Singing competitions also make them really excited about singing.

Sixth, because many Filipinos are Roman Catholic, singing is a big part of their religious ceremonies, making these experiences even more meaningful. Lastly, many Filipinos are naturally good at singing, and they start practicing when they’re young in school and at events. This helps them feel a strong connection to singing.

Speaking of which, a guy singing “Ikaw Nga,” the hit song of the OPM band South Border has gone viral, eliciting mixed reactions from the netizens. His rendition was uploaded on Facebook by Bosabos vlog with the caption: “Kinanta ko rin ito, may papikit-pikit pa ako pag dilat ko wala na mga tao (emojis). Galing ni Kuya, naalala ko ‘yung MULAWIN sa kantang ito.” As of press time, it has already garnered more than 600K views.

The singer was identified as Jeff Mosatalla. He first posted the video of himself singing the said song via TikTok, and it has generated more than 4 million views. Netizens couldn’t help but be amazed by his runs and riffs, as well as his ability to switch from a normal voice to a falsetto.
