P-pop is growing popularly by the minute, but it does not receive the attention it truly deserves. Many groups started to popularize the genre that stands apart from the classic OPM.
Still, some Filipinos are mum about its growing reputation.
On Wednesday, February 18–the internationally-acclaimed singer-Broadway Diva Lea Salonga shared on her twitter–the music video of the P-pop group Alamat.
According to Salonga, the MV was fabulous.

Nevertheless, the singer is a known K-pop fan of the Korean group BTS. In one of her tweets on February 10, she revealed that the Korean boyband saved her mental health.

But when it’s time for her to answer and give her thoughts regarding the emerging Filipino groups such as SB19 and BGYO, Salonga did not provide an answer.
#AskMissLea Hi po! Do u know SB19 & what are your thoughts on them? Do u think they can also make it globally like BTS? They entered US Billboard Charts with highest peak at #2 on Billboard Social 50 next to BTS (1st SEA act to do so).@SB19Official#SB19https://t.co/732w48aeQp

She did not even answer a Netizen’s query if there is a chance that she could do a cover of SB19‘s Hanggang sa Huli.

On her latest tweet regarding her admiration for the beautifully-done music video of Alamat, will she finally speak her mind regarding the rising P-pop genre and groups?
Alamat is a Filipino nine-member, multilingual boy group. The members hail from different parts of the Philippines, creating a diverse and unique style of singing. Alamat debuted on February 14 with their song kbye and is under Viva Artists Agency.
