HimigKwento's 'Umulan Na Naman (Baha Na Naman)' Turns the Flood Season Into a Song
HimigKwento’s latest Buhay Pinoy track turns the Philippines’ recurring rainy-season flooding into song — timely, given the news cycle it’s dropping into.
Filipino channel HimigKwento has released "Umulan Na Naman (Baha Na Naman)" — roughly, "It’s Raining Again (Flooding Again)" — a music video from its Buhay Pinoy ("Filipino Life") series that turns the country’s all-too-familiar rainy-season flooding into song.
The timing lands the track squarely in the middle of a news cycle already dominated by flooding and flood control, between the ongoing corruption scandal PostNetNews has covered for weeks and this year’s active rainy season — giving an old genre of Filipino everyday-life music a very current punchline.
