Pinoy Po: InLABakostik


Musically inclined UPians gathered once again for the most anticipated acoustic competition in school. Many of them lined up for the audition and hoped their name would make it to the list.
Pinoy Po, an acoustic contest hosted annually by University of the Philippines TAO members, is now on its 7th year. They have been using this as an avenue for UP students to showcase their singing prowess as part of APO's culture.

While the participants were feeling nervous and anxious, the people behind had a tough time dealing with the event. Early this second semester, everything was planned, from the committees up to the sponsors for the event to be made possible.

The bands that made it rented studio time and had a thorough practice to make everything sound perfect. Artists also took their tough time looking for the right song and instrument/s to accompany.

Sins of 1991, one of the bands which made it to the list took their time practicing in the studio for days. They spent a lot of time and money but it was definitely worth it, according to Boni Brendi Abuyog who plays the beat box. As first timers, they were all excited to perform at UP. At the end of the day, they were indeed happy not just performing but also meeting people who shared the same passion with them—music.

They had a tough time choosing on whom to do the second voice since all of them were out of tune. Also, they chose the best song, polished it and enjoyed their time on stage.

University of the Philippines TAO extends their gratitude to the people who made the event possible, especially to the UPians who consistently show their support by performing their songs at their utmost best.
