 RC WAY
Filipino traditional music reflects the way of life, beliefs,
and traditions of the rural folks. The traditional music of
the Philippines is so diverse and unique due to
intercultural meetings or colonization which led to the
different genre or type of Filipino Music that we have
today. As an RCian, how would you show you
appreciation to Filipino traditional music and how can
you promote it in this present time?
