do you ever wonder why many Filipinos are good singers? Well no matter where you go here in the Philippines there's a videoke machine. i bet most of the filipinos have at least a dvd or vcd player with their own set of videoke disks. some have magic sing(a mic that you connect directly to the tv that has it's own built-in videoke songs). some have a dvd player with built in videoke disc which contains more than 10 thousand song, which we have at home. and some even have their own videoke machine. guess where you would find these videoke machine? well yes you will find them at amusement parks, family gatherings and parties. But here in the Philippines amazing because you will also find them on the terminal of a bus station or any transportation terminals. you will find them outside the streets, and oddly in a funeral wake. some of the people who does not have the money to pay for their loved one's burial will rent a videoke machine, set it up in the funeral, and visitors can sing by dropping 5 peso coin in the videoke machine. this is one way of coming up with the money for the burial. Amazing huh. Well, can't blame them thought. It's part of being a Filipino. Maybe Filipinos just loves to sing. Mabuhay to all!
