well u know the kulintang is an ancient insturment of the malay it traces to the hindu kingdoms of of the ethnic malay. and it was introduce to the inhabitants of the philippines who later adopt islam..... so wouldnt it be ok if the inhabitants of the philippines who adopted christian/catholic use the kulintang as well in their ceremonies? I mean even various indigenous lumad tribes also use the kulintang!!! what is the stance of this?

and has this happened yet among some Christian filipinos?

No, I do not think so.

Some Christians even used it as part of their worship services.

Where pianos and guitars were scarce and hard to come by.

i dont see why not, i havnt heard of this kulintang before. its more of a cultural thing than religous. i dont see why christianscouldnt use it.

Kulintang is a musical instrument.

yeh i kinda figuured that out thats y i dont see y christians cant use it aswel as muslims.

i think the christian practioners of the philippines should look to the muslims for their past because the muslim were able to preserve the culture not only religion from the spaniards and americans by fighting.... so it is not only their culture they preserve but also our own!

like i think it would be cool to learn from the moros and adopt from the aspects like kulintang etc!

Yes, Some people are using them already.

I think it is mostly in cultural dances where even non-muslims plays the kulintang...

It is what they call modern ethnic !

ano? Yung Pangalay Video? Hindi, talagang ganyan pa sa sulu at mindanao. Maraming types na pangalay bngayon....at kulintang orchestra...galing talaga

Most of them have been commericalized

I guess, pero basta epromote kasi marami na hindi alam sa mnga ganyan eh

Yes, They are being promoted .

are they promoting that sa Pinas?! Talaga, buti nalang.

As alternative music.

ahh, I C, I like the more ethnic types. The traditional sounds of Kulintang music and orchestra.

E yong traditional na Uyayi? na ginawang commercialized? Try nyo yong Uyayi album ni Chinchin Gutierrez, pretty good, para sa akin...

I have not heared of that song?

Actually, it is a collection of Filipino Lullabyes... nangolekta sila at nagresearch sa iba't-ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas ng mga panghele nilang awitin at saka nilapatan ng accompaniments... maganda... andoon yong Ugoy ng Duyan... maganda... masarap pampatulog...

Do you have also these type of collections?

I know that Ateneo had a large collections of this .

Ngeks! yong sa Ateneo naman halo-halong church music at ilang Filipino Classic like the series of Ihip, Teklado and Kwerdas...

How about in Loyola in Katipunan?

Loyola and Ateneo de Manila is the same... Pero dito sa amin, sa Ateneo de Naga, we don't have any formal collection of music... meron lang kami University choir!
