an apl every day

Got this link from Jean's blog, of the Black Eyed Peas video, "the Apl song."

There was a campaign a while back trying to get this video airtime on US stations, particularly Total Request Live. But there's always an aversion to multi-lingual videos. Only recently did mixed-Spanish/English songs get play time. I've never understood that because many of the multi-lingual videos that have both English and another language, tend to repeat itself. Like the Tagalog in this video just translates to, "Listen up, I want to tell you about what's happening in the country I grew up in." which you can get from watching the video.

Watch the video, at the same time it does commentary on the forgotten Filipino World War II Vets who have yet to be recognized with full benefits.
