Sariling Bait
“The capacity to think and decide for oneself”
Martial Law was an era of dictatorship and tyranny.
It was one of the darkest moments of our nation’s history.
The blind following of powerful people to the Dictator Ferdinand Marcos lead our country to rot.
Freedom, justice and life were privileges only given to some.
Back then, whatever the dictator says, his cronies will follow.
Today, we see a resemblance of the terror that once haunted us.
“Sariling Bait”, courtesy of GGM Publishing and interpreted by Annie Lux is a rendition that depicts blind following towards a leader.
From the elements shown in the music video to the message that the song portrays, Sariling Bait throws a strong punch about the reality of today.
Leaders and supporters today are seemingly hypnotized people not minding foul language and harsh consequences of the administration’s policies.
They may be physically functioning individuals, but they have lost the capacity to think and decide for oneself.
Nawalan sila ng Sariling Bait.

Nangangamoy – Dong Abay
Stink (Lyrics) English Translation
I thought you were different
Unlike them, your conscience was clear
Your secrets concealed in the dark
Hide them all you want, you’ll be found out
Wash all you want, your blackening heart
Your evil will smell, oh it will stink
Will stink, it stinks, it has stunk
Really an old story, it has happened before
What’s history is still happening now
The promise of change ended up a slogan
You’re more nefarious than the one you replaced
In your term of office it’s all gotten worse
You’re callous and deaf to the people’s tears
Will stink, it stinks, it has stunk
The drugs persist, the traffic, the troubles
Corruption in government, people without work
The people you appoint are just incompetent
Crime all over, killings here, there, everywhere
Will stink, it stinks, it has stunk

UOD – Ebe Dancel
Earthworm (Lyrics) English Translation
Earthworms in the stomach
started dancing wild
to the tune of hunger
a stomach empty and void
And in the heat of the sun
was once again cooked
were tons of garbage
that will be their feast
Like you, like me
estranged dogs in this world
Like you, like me
delirious people in this world
The delirious people
started laughing hard
to the tune of greed
an empty void heart
And in the flow of tears
the poor dog got used to
in a life that was shamelessly
taken away by a delirious master
Like you, like me
estranged dogs in this world
Like you, like me
delirious people in this world
Translated By: Mr. Reigner Sanchez
