Basing from the title, you already know that it is about the Marxist perspective.

The
song is about the current status of the Philippines basing it from the people’s social
status or class. Tatsulok is triangle in English, which is the model the Karl Marx used to
make us understand the social classes in a capitalist world.
By just listening to the entire song, you know what is already the objective of the song,
which is to let the Philippine government know how the people react towards the harsh
treatment of the elites. The part of the song that hit my attention was the part that
Bamboo stated. Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban ang kulay at tatak ay di syang
dahilan hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan At ang hustisya ay para lang sa
mayaman.” It simply means that it has been the elites who has been ruling the
Philippines for a long time and that is why changes for the mass never occurred because
the change is only for the elites.
In the end of the song, Bamboo stated; “Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok,
Hindi matatapos itong gulo.”“ It simply means that as long as the elites are ruling, the
continuous problems will go on until the status quo changes. In short, it is about the
Marxist perspective that says that equality will only happen if capitalism will be stopped.
