Papa Obet, known for his melodramatic style, has a unique approach to conveying the emotions and essence of Christmas through his music.
“I believe that sad songs have a stronger impact. Music is more powerful when it evokes emotions. That’s why I created a sad Christmas song. For me, every time I hear a Christmas song. I am transported back to my childhood, when I was a kid with no problems, just receiving gifts, eating, and having fun. Christmas is so magical, I want to feel and relive that feeling. And that longing feeling is also what they will hear in this song,” shares Papa Obet.
In a heartwarming gesture, Papa Obet dedicates “Paano Ang Pasko” to those who find themselves celebrating Christmas away from their families. The song’s lyrics are sure to resonate with many, capturing the bittersweet emotions of being apart during the most festive time of the year.
“It’s for people who need companionship this Christmas, especially those in faraway places. The song conveys the difficulty of celebrating Christmas without our loved ones. It’s the time of the year when we’re supposed to be surrounded by the people we love, but for some people, that’s not the case,” said Papa Obet.
On the other hand, Papa Obet isn’t just a talented singer and songwriter; he also has a keen eye for collaborations. In a recent virtual mediacon, he expressed his desire to work with Filipino music icons like Regine Velasquez. Additionally, he has his sights set on collaborations with young Kapuso singers such as Julie Anne San Jose and Rita Daniela. It’s clear that Papa Obet is eager to contribute to the rich tapestry of Filipino music.
Papa Obet has a unique perspective on holiday celebrations. When asked about choosing between Christmas and New Year vacations, he revealed a preference for the latter, citing the belief that New Year’s celebrations are more enjoyable. It’s a testament to his lively spirit and the joy he brings to both the Christmas and New Year festivities.
Aside from his musical talents, Papa Obet has also been the talk of the town for his resemblance to Asia’s Multimedia Star, Alden Richards. The resemblance, noted even before Alden’s rise to fame, has become a delightful point of conversation. Papa Obet has previously hosted Alden’s mall shows, creating a unique connection between the two talented individuals.
