 Kundiman
 This is a genre of Tagalog folk love songs
that express an intense longing for a
beloved, a cause, or the motherland.
They are usually played in minor chord,
giving them a sad, melancholic sound.
 BITUING MARIKIT
Bituing marikit sa gabi ng buhay
Ang bawat kislap mo'y ligaya ang taglay
Yaring aking palad iyong patnubayan
At kahit na sinag, ako'y bahaginan
Natanim sa puso ko yaong isang pag-ibig
Napinakasasamba sa loob ng dibdib
Sa iyong luningning, laging nasasabik
Ikaw ang pangarap, Bituing marikit
 Kambubulag
This is the Kapapampangan term for
a type of native moth. It comes from
the root word “bulag” meaning
“blind.”
