Moymoy Palaboy: Pinoy Brothers on You Tube

Perhaps the latest people who were popularized by You Tube, Filipino brothers Moymoy Palaboy has certainly endeared themselves to Filipino viewers. These are two brothers with big eyes who like to take home videos of themselves while lip-synching to popular songs. It is their version of MTV.

I have so much fun with their Marimar video, that is why I am posting the link here for your enjoyment. And probably perhaps, this is the first video of them that I have ever seen. This video alone has almost 4 million viewers to date. This was taken at their home, with their aunt doing her mundane chores in the background while the two kolokoys mouth the Spanish words, complete with full range of emotions, to the famous Mexican telenovela that Thalia starred and was recently re-made by GMA, starring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.

Anyway, they have made videos of so many songs already--Volare, No One, Low, Dancing Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody (I like this one, too), etc. So far, they have uploaded 39 videos already. I like the freshness of their "kakengkoyan" and perhaps the entire country thinks so, too.

They are already a staple at "Bubble Gang"--Pinoy TV's longest running gag show on GMA, where they are featured in "You Tube" setup as well.

Because of their popularity now, they can afford more sophisticated productions of their MTVs. They go on several locations already for a single video, have video editing, and high resolution videos already. They also have back up dancers and singers, too.

But I kind of like the rustic ambiance that their old videos had. Their old videos only featured the two of them, uncut, so their emotional level from start to finish could be summarized in one word--impeccable. And the homemade feel of their videos gave it much appeal. Anyway, I guess that is the prize of success.

I salute them for finding ways to market their abilities, and they have found their niche. I enjoy them so much, but I hope that my baby doesn't look like them when he/she is going to be born in March. Or else my Chinese in-laws would really wonder whose child I am having! lol
