Michael V shared this new song parody
Seasoned comedian Michael V wanted to raise awareness among the younger generation about the importance of the Filipino language in his new parody song Hilaw.
Michael, also known as Bitoy in showbiz, has popularized the art of parody songs through the longest-running gag show Bubble Gang. He has introduced different characters through this show which amused the avid viewers.
Just recently, he featured the song Dilaw by OPM singer Maki as his parody song. In an interview, based on the article in Balita, the comedy genius shared his intention to release the parody song with that kind of lyrics.
“Gusto lang natin mag-create ng awareness, para kahit papaano, baka naman naalala n’yo mga Filipino lessons n’yo, e, ma-i-share n’yo naman sa mga anak n’yo, sa mga kaibigan n’yo,” Michael V said.
Then, he shared his pet peeve when it comes to writing a song. Bitoy said that he wants songs that have the correct length of the bar or the time signature.
“Tama ‘yong syllabication, tapos tama ‘yong paggamit ng language, ‘yong grammar ng Filipino,” the Kapuso comedian added. In his parody song, Bitoy called some Filipinos “hilaw” for not knowing the right syllabication, pronunciation, and use of certain Filipino words.
Although it gave amusement to many Pinoy viewers, it also aimed to raise awareness that Filipinos, especially the younger generation, should know the right usage of a certain word.
Meanwhile, Michael V is treasured in the industry by his co-workers. In a recent interview, his Bubble Gang co-stars Chariz Solomon and Betong Sumaya shared that the comedy genius is really generous in sharing his talent with others. Aside from being the lead star in the longest-running gag show, Bitoy has become its creative consultant, as well as, in his sitcom Pepito Manaloto.
