CPAR MODULE 17

 Philippine Popular Art


- is the art that is followed or accepted by the Filipino masses. Looking at Philippine society, most of the
art forms that the general public consumes and advocates are those that are for entertainment such as
songs, dances, telenovelas, and movies. Philippine popular art is around you: listen to the chart-topping
music hit, watch the latest dance craze, or view several box-office hits.
 The Masa or The Common People
- are the primary consumers of Philippine popular art.
 Komiks
- is considered to be one of the most read forms of literature in the country.
- is one of the most popular forms of literature in the Philippines
- Serialized komiks have brought to life memorable characters of heroism and goodness in the works of
Mars Ravelo's Darna, Captain Barbell, and Dyesebel, and Carlo J. Caparas's Ang Panday.
- For many decades, these iconic characters have been portrayed in television and film.
- Comic strips have also entertained many Filipinos in years with the humor and wit of Pol Medina's
(Pugad Baboy) and Washington Young's (Pupung). Because Filipinos are romantic at heart, romance
novels in paperback editions have proliferated in bookstores and have acquired many readers.
- Recently, some love stories from these paperbacks published by local companies such as Precious Hearts
have been adapted as a TV series. These stories show how romantic Filipinos are.
- The Internet publishing site Wattpad has recently been a platform for aspiring Filipino writers to publish
and for readers to read new materials. Some stories published in Wattpad have been turned into movies
and IV series such as Diary ng Panget, She's Dating the Gangster, and Talk Back and You're Dead.
 Music
- Original Pinoy Music (OPM), is a strong force in Philippine arts.
- The musical talent and prowess of Filipinos shine bright in the country's local music scene. From the
traditional hanam, OPM is still dominated by balladeers that show our romantic inclinations.
- Well-known performers include Gary V., Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, and Sarah
Geronimo, Filipino pop music has tried to mimic foreign musical genre.
- Examples of these artists include rock bands such as Rivermaya and Eraserheads, and rappers such as
Francis M., who pioneered the musical genre in the country, Andrew E., and Gloc 9. Filipino artists have
made RnB, country, and even bossa nova part of Filipino music.
 Dance
- It is an important social activity in the Filipino community. A barangay or town fiesta is not complete
without a morning parade or caracol and the evening bayle. Although dance crazes in the country have
foreign origins such as the "Macarena" or the "Gangnam Style”, Filipinos have still invented dance moves
that were repeated in every corner, such as the Spaghetti Dance and "Otso-otso". Filipino dance groups
such as the Philippine All Stars Dance Crew, Jabbawockeez, and El Gamma Penumbra have made
Filipino talent known worldwide
 Movies
- The Filipino movie industry is still striving despite the dominance of Hollywood-produced blockbusters.
At present, Filipino movies being produced today are romantic comedies (rom- coms), comedies, and
horror films. Rom-coms are staples featuring popular love teams. Although the stories are patterned
after existing formulas of boy meets girl, rich girl falls in love with poor boy, or the love triangle, fans still
patronize these films. Slapstick comedies of Vice Ganda, Ai Ai Delas Alas, and Vic Sotto still make
moviegoers laugh. Horror movies, such as the Shake, Rattle, and Roll series, still manage to entertain the
Filipino audience
