In fact, more studies are proving that singing can be associated with it. Even when faced with numerous problems, they remain resilient and positive - often singing through their greatest woes. It is something that even other nations admire. Filipinos continue to support their fellow talented Filipinos. Several were even discovered and went viral because of it. It is truly fascinating that until today, indigenous groups continue to practice inherited music like songs for work, rituals, celebration, mourning, courting, and the like.
Singing is truly one of the marks we've left as a people within the world and it is something to be proud of. I never had any inclination to sing with the karaoke, out of my introverted nature. However, I'm only speaking for myself. As far as I know, Filipinos are very sociable, just as the other poster mentioned.
It is in their blood and culture to join and take part in merrymaking. I also agree that Filipino isn't necessarily a melodic language, though I find Filipino translations of famous foreign songs. The Filipino language is not melodic in itself. It's just the people are in high spirits, and can lighten up even in adversity. It may be the reason why most Filipinos love to sing. Singing can uplift us and those around is, which is why there is never a fiesta or a big celebration without music.
It could take form in karaoke, videoke, or well-wishers singing for a bride and groom in a wedding. Also, even in ordinary days, people go to videoke after work or when getting together with friends.
Music is just around us because we love to sing. I really like singing, and been singing wherever i go since i was a kid. BUT, i'm terrible at singing, i think my vocal structure have something to do with it though since i can't really hit high notes and that's where it all goes wrong. Most of the time i sing with a flat note, i'm the only one in the family who can't sing well.

Many malls in the country have karaoke stands where people can just grab the mike, choose a tune, and sing in front of a crowd for free. In fact, a lot of these random mall performances have gone viral online with some of the performers getting enough attention that they've been offered recording contracts or stints on television.
As was mentioned earlier, singing through karaoke machines during funerals is a widespread practice in the country. This is testament to the fact that whether they are doing well or they are going through some troubles, Filipinos don't lose their love for music one bit. The tagayan culture in the country also often involve guitars and no holds barred singing.
If you are having a rough time with life, your barkada will be there singing you Parokya Ni Edgar tunes over bottles of San Miguel gin or Red Horse beer. You will have no choice but join in on the fun. You do these sessions a lot and sooner or later you'll have pipes worthy of an audience.
It's worth mentioning as well that these tagayan sessions often start early - mostly in high school. The Philippines is a third world country. You know what this means - a huge chunk of the population don't have much.
Most can't avoid movie tickets. Most can't afford traveling at their free time. Music is cheap and singing is usually free. A karaoke song will only cost them 5 pesos. As always, this setup exposes Filipinos to music. Your turn.
Can you think of other reasons why Filipinos are great singers? Any ideas you can add to what we already discussed above?
