wa tay ma hems, reality is reality tinabangay unta ta oi. labi na karon crisis...

support ta ninyo

[candydudz]

the question is not clear or this statement is incomplete....

Do you mean "promise Land for Fame? Manila YES

Do you mean for exposure? For poppish exposure sure Manila CAN be the Promised land.

Do you mean for as a viable industry that artist, producers, promoters are given due financially? YES and NOT. it depends on the people you work with and 80% hardwork, 10% GOOD managerial work n 10% luck.

Do you mean as a CREATIVE venue? This is HARDLY the case cuz it goes against FAME n POP-pish Exposure

Do you mean Manila is the way to SIKAT? Its just one of the WAY people. NOT the only WAY.

naa daghan kwarta didto para sa banda!!! dri sa cebu, wlay suporta ang mga tao!!! walay pakialam.. huhuhu

well the sad part is when a cebuano or visayan band makes it in manila, we are so proud and so fast to proclaim na taga cebu na sila! Cebuanos are the best!!! Sawayon pa nato ang uban na manila bands (dili tanan mu saway ha). But the reality here is indie bands left us because there is nothing here. They cant make a living here. And ang supporta limited ra kaayo. Praises and adoration from the people dili maka buhi sa banda. Asa man atong mga sikat na cebuano bands? THEY DONT EVEN PLAY HERE ANYMORE!!! Maybe once or twice a year lang when they are sponsored by a large company to come here to do their advertising. so sad!

HELP!

perhaps i failed to qualify that that was just a sample computation and not based on fact.
