OPM by Sascha

Filipino songs sung by a German banker.

This is his best effort, APO's "Panalangin";

Where did this come from? Boy Sullivan! This must have been an earlier attempt because the pronunciation is still funny (ini-in-GAT-in-GATAN!) I lurv that hoodie he's wearing.


Somebody write this guy some Filipino songs! I need to hear more!

I hope it comes with some Argentine corned beef!
