    A Bird Who Can’t Fly

    Ang pipit is a notable Filipino Folk song exhibiting a tragic sad story.
    Interpreting the lyrics of the song, it conveys a bird who was hit by a stone from
    a sadistic human, as it fell from the tree it expresses how cruel it is for someone to
    take an innocent creature's life.

    This is one of Levi Celerio's composition and songs. He was born in Tondo
    and recognized as a national artist in the field of music. At young age, Celerio
    was awarded a scholarship and joined as a member in the Manila Symphony
    Orchestra. His other works include "O maliwanag na buwan," "Ako ay may
    singsing," "Alibangbang," and many more. For decades, he has been a prolific
    composer and songwriter that made him easily translate and write new lyrics to
    traditional melodies. According to Guinness Book of World Records, Levi Celerio
    is also acknowledged as the only person who can make music out of a leaf.

    In our presentation, we compared it to a young student being


    discriminated for being open about their gender, specifically; those who have
    said to belong in the third gender (LGBTQ). They were getting laughed at and
    shamed behind their backs. However, the protagonist disregards all of these
    negative comments and kept an optimistic attitude. Unfortunately, everything
    went downhill when things became physical and hurtful words turned into
    violence. As we dig furthermore about how the lyrics and clips were arranged, it
    tells how an innocent bird is unable to fly his own freedom due to the harshness
    given a society has thrown at him. The suffering is the one pulling the bird to his
    darkness. As portrayed in the clips, enduring the cruelty is too much for a student
    like him, and shedding a tear can lift him through.

    While making this music video, we’ve experience a lot of errors. We realized
    that the artworks made by Levi Celerio and the other national artist are not
    easy. It requires a lot of courage and patience to be able to produce a good
    piece. Learning the melodies and how we will play it using modern instrument
    made it a little difficult for us to do as we are not familiar with it. Overall, making
    this music video had a great impact in each every one of us. We learned a lot
    of lesson not only academically but also the lesson in life. The theme of our
    Music Video made us more aware about the issues happening in the society
    and become more sensitive about every individual as we don’t know what they
    are going through.

    Experiencing rejections and feeling of being captivated in our own lives sets
    back dreams and hope to freely live in this society. Continuously spreading toxic
    mindset and behavior towards one another wouldn't do us any good, Kindness.
    acceptance, and loving our neighbors is what we should embrace, conquer,
    and prevail in this world. The music video depicts how discrimination influences
    every one of us. Yet, it has given its valuable purpose and a creative twist that
    supports anti-bullying and equality that is somehow rampant nowadays. This will
    not only remake the composition nor offer entertainment but a platform to open
    our minds about the society's unending issue and deepen our understanding
    about the song's message to listeners.
