Francisco Gaudecio Lope Belardo Mañalac, known as Bamboo Mañalac. A famous

Filipino Singer, released a song in his Third Album, last 2007. The song title "Tatsulok"
was originally composed by Rom Dongeto in 1989 and was sung in 1991 by a trio "Folk-
Rock Band" . The song illustrate about the Environment, Politics and Human Rights.
The Filipino song tatsulok have some hidden massage on it like police abusing their
power, people's human rights being violent and the caste system

The famous song tatsulok was made by bamboo mañalac. He put some meaningful
words on it, he also put a good tempo and beats in his song.

Police are know to protect the people who needs help, but why it looks like they are over
using their power by abusing those people who don't have the urge to fight back. We can
see it in the lyrics

"Totoy, tumalon ka, dumala kung kailangan at baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw"

"Totoy, makinig ka, wag kang magpa-kabi baka pagkamalan ka't humandusay sa tabi"

Bamboo made the song to stand up for those people that glued to thei sit, to speak for
the voice less people and to finally fight back to those people that violating humans
rights, those peole should know that even you don't have a money you have right to
speak amd fight for yourself. bamboo found a way to do those things, but a song is not
enough we can see in tha lyrics why,

"Don't you know you are a fool that could never win"

Caste system can be orginated in india, and it was a structured incial hierachy. Not only
it can be found in india, it can be exist everywhere, including the Philippines and in
"tatsulok", filipino song composed by rom bongeto, that only the people on the top of the
caste system are the only thing that's important.

The Filipino song tatsulok contains hidden meanings, such as Police abusing their
authority, violating people's human rights and the system of social classes. But we
should know that the laws are not only for those people who have money, and you
should fight for those right "don't let anyone forbid you from speaking and fighting for
the right that you truly deserve"
