4. Philippine Pop Music
Pop music in the philippines started as an
adaptation or translation, if not complete imitation,
of western hits. It started with Bobby Gonzales’
Hahabol habol ( Hot Pursuit ).
A local version of the rock and roll songs of the
1950’s, and Rico J. Puno’s Luneta, a local adaptation
of The Way We Were. This immediately clicked with
the youth and eventually gained wide acceptance
even among the “burgis” (bourgeois or elite) crowd.
