Today's Friday Magic Madness song is inspired by Bicol.
That's because I'm here now.
One of the most famous songs to come out of Bicol is the iconic "Sarung Banggi."
Written in 1910 by Potenciano Gregorio, it's a love song about a chance meeting between a man and a woman in the province. Most likely, the setting is in Bicol, where the author is from.
During our summer visits to Bicol as kids, this is one of the songs that the older people would sing for us, and we'd be fascinated by it.
Any trip to Bicol won't be complete without listening to this iconic song.
