hala, naa pa diay cebu metro pop? this event is literally dead. it is caught in a time warp, refusing to adapt to the times, so it's dead. listen to the songs it has produced the past 15 years, they suck. you don't even hear them on radio, and they're supposed to be pop, meaning POPULAR!!! gugmang giatay ray mopildi aning mga kanta from cebu metro pop.

[krazygal_05]

true, true, true my dear... they just dont know when to give up... nag kalas-kalas lang ni cla ug budget.... ahehehe

[bisdako]

they better stop that useless event. huge amount of money spent every year, and no single pop hit produced (in recent years ha). yes, they produce pop stars, but not pop songs, as in 'popular'. so they might as well change their format into pure singing contest. ayaw na nang tuga-tuga compose unya di diay mo-appeal sa kadaghanan, especially natong mga batan-on). "cebu popular videoke festival" nalang ang tawag nila. nyayayayahahaha.

[CuJo!!!]

hmmm... i've heard this argument before... actually i share your sentiments regarding the so called "popfest"... Standardfest lang unta tawag ana...

[shoeless_rebel]

sakto gyud... standard fest nalang tana. there's no "POP" sa ilang pop fest

[glassjawed_grrl]

[walrus]

the glory days of cebu pop's been dead and gone. wala na gyud ka produce the likes of "PAGLAUM" , "PARADISTA", "AKO KINI HIGALA" , etc..etc.

karon kay sila-sila na lang malingaw sa ila pop fest nga dili na pop "popular".

Call Center Agent
(Composed by Eugene Tan)

I
Sayo sa kabuntagon, mobangon na intawon, trabaho paingon
Tubig bugnaw kaayo, di na lang maligo, sagol singot ang baho
Mag atang og sakyanan pagka delikado
Kay mingaw pa kaayo ang mga kadalanan

II
Laway ray puhonan bisag dili ambungan, tingog ray basehan
Bisan og lalaki nga tingog daw babaye dili igsapayan
Tambok kag maniwang, morena o mestisa
Basta kon mag istorya kana gyung Ingles paka

Koro
Call center agent ako,
Kanunyang moingon og, "hello! how may I help you?"
Basta sa telepono tingog panindoton ko
Call center agent ako,
Mag iningles murag Amerkano
Apan kon ang dila mag sapid Bisaya gyud kaayo

III
Kon ako gisapot di magpaapekto ang tingog sa telepono
Kanunayng malipayon ang tingog ko sapnayon bisan pag kasyagiton
Maayong pamatasan kanunay kong timan-an
Aron di ko pulihan sa akong gi lingkoran
(balik sa koro)

Tulay
Bisan dako kag sweldo kon daghan ka og bisyo
Kini dili paigo nimo...
(balik sa koro 2x)

Koda
Bisaya ko nga gwapo…
Call center agent ako!
