The Ami Tribe Welcome Dance Song (卲族迎賓舞)

-

Here's another Taiwanese indigenous song that never got out of my head. Searching these kinds of songs caused me to land on the Indonesian song Tolu Sahundalan which is "Three It Will Be Alright". The lyrics are purely sung in an Aboriginal language. The dance steps are, as always, similar to Malaysian aborigines and Filipino aborigines. The DNA of the Ami tribe is closest to Malaysian. 


Here's a more lively of the Ami Welcome Dance. Sure, the first version is good but I think I like this version better.

Why a Lee Kuan Yew-Style PRESIDENT Won't Emerge Under the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines

Sim Dapat Jr. It's easy to admire the late great statesman Lee Kuan Yew . However, it's easy to just think about what he said about the Marcoses while ignoring the stuff that he said about the Philippines. As I was reading his book From Third World to First , it was  easy to talk about what he said about the Marcoses while ignoring good economic advice . Years ago, I also remember the Philippine Star article by Alex Magno (way back in 2006 that talked about the parliamentary system . As the 2028 is just around the corner  and it's 2026 , I was thinking about the fallacy of "just vote wisely, it's not the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines that's the problem." However, it made me think of this statement by Magno from the Philippine Star , which should be a reflection of the biggest hurdle why a LKY type of leader would never show up in the Philippines: One keen observer of the sometimes bizarre conduct of our national affairs is former Malaysian prime min...

BRUTAL Truth: Stop HOPING for Another "PNoy-Like President" Because the Parliamentary System will Produce MUCH BETTER Leaders

Let me get this straight, I'm not here to totally dismiss the good that the late Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" C. Aquino III did. I'll try to be least biased  when I'm writing this to "give a shock" to those who tend to treat his term as a "magical time". However, I'm going to have to warn people about the problem of looking for "another Messiah leader". Yesterday was the would've been 66th birthday of Noynoy if he were alive. One can talk good about Noynoy's legacy. However, we need to realize that relying on Noynoy's term is a violation of the Mahathir Mohamad principle of "Never stop learning."  We need to think that there's only one Noynoy and when he died, he died . TV-5 reveals that Rep. Edgar Erice, a long-time friend of the late leader, also said the following: Caloocan City 2nd District Rep. Edgar Erice made the remark in a social media post marking Aquino’s 66th birth anniversary.  In the post, he co...

Don't be Silent: Sophia Maria Coquilla's Death Should Call to Review (and Revise) R.A. 9344

The Wellness Vault Facebook Page This should be another wake-up call. Many years ago, the Vizconde Massacre happened (and honestly, it's still an unsolved case ). The crime happened at night, and until now, the suspects haven't been identified. It may no longer be the case with the late Sophia Marie G. Coquilla in Tagum City of Davao Del Norte . The incident happened on July 9, 2025 .  On July 11, 2025, Mayor Rey Uy of Tagum City, Davao, expressed his condolences . This should be a wake-up call that R.A. 9344 may have one serious flaw . This was also expressed in Sun Star from the same link I shared some time ago: “Hi Sen. Kiko Pangilinan author of Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act 2006 . Ang suspek 14 ug 17-anyos, unya unsaon naman ni ron? What the f**k gyod kaayo ng balaod nimo (Hi Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, author of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006. The suspects are 14 and 17 years old — what now? Your law is so f***ed up),” said one Leizel in a Facebook post capt...
