Here's my review. Arconning (talk) 14:27, 18 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Thanks for the comments. I've tried to apply most of your suggestions, but for the "sitting and leaning on a jeepney" part, I tried to make it clearer that some of the members were sitting on top of the vehicle. You can see the intro scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7vPP-yIhY0

I know it makes more sense instinctively for them to be sitting inside, but for the intro, they were actually sitting on it, as indicated in the source article! I hope it's clearer with that phrasing. Please let me know if you have any more suggestions. Thanks again! Bloomagiliw (talk) 02:40, 19 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ooh I didn't know that, shall pass. Arconning (talk) 14:58, 19 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Prose and MoS

Lead and infobox

Hans Carbonilla of the Philippine Daily Inquirer described the song as "groundbreaking"., quotes in leads, whether cited in the body or not, need sources I'm afraid.

Background and release

In February, Alamat debuted with the song "Kbye". Its music video premiered on YouTube on February 14, year needed for clarification.

Composition and lyrics

Kulintang, bandurria, and tinikling shouldn't be italicized.

Reception

"As of February 18, 2021, the music video entered YouTube's top trending list at number 23.", should probably remove the as of and reword it. "The music video entered... on February 18, 2021."
"Parcinq's Jazz Canilla" is mentioned again, use Canilla instead.

Music video and the rest

sitting and leaning on a jeepney., sitting in and leaning on a jeepney.
Baybayin and salakot shouldn't be italicized.
Lea Salonga, an actress and singer,, Actress and singer Lea Salonga... for flow
