Midnight Asia: Eat Dance Dream (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Manila, Philippines - full transcript
To the people at the back in the rain,
to those who stayed for Filipino hip hop.
FlipTop, make some noise
for our first battle.
Representing Tondo Manila, for all of you.
Let’s make some noise for Pistolero!
And on the left,
all the way from Cagayan De Oro City,
everybody, make some noise for Fukuda!
Feeling superior, bitch?
You’re not “pound-for-pound”
They’re not talking about your skills
When they say you’re all around
They gave you a month’s notice
To be “prepared” for the festival
A roasted pig for the festival
Obviously, we can’t do without
Oh, now he’s going to rebut.
So go ahead and present your argument
You keep saying you’re a pistol
But your size looks more like a bazooka
Desperate, fool!
I’m happy with what I do
You’re just working on your name
I’m working on myself
Every spray of my saliva is proof
That you’ve been blessed
Because this is not even a battle
This is your sermon
For the first Friday of the month.
Beloved King, we will give you a gift
A new crown
It came from Wuhan
Hey, you keep attacking his teeth
You should be ashamed, Phil
When you’re not wearing your dentures
You look like a beer bottle opener
24 hours of duty.
Is Erika going for 24 hours?
Yes, 24 hours.
So, no sleeping.
I should be home right now,
but they said this is good, and because
I love to eat, I went with them.
I work in a call center as a CSR.
After work, my whole team
goes to eat, anywhere.
-This is how we bond.
-Yeah.
Here, we call it "maka masa."
And, of course, it’s really delicious.
I believe in fate
because we never really expected
that we’d have an eatery like this.
We always ran out of stocks
because we weren’t familiar
with this business.
Is it okay?
One night, we ran out of
toppings for lugaw.
We thought it was
our most disastrous night.
But that was the turning point
for our business.
We had a customer come in
who was asking for goto, with egg.
We said, “Sir, we don’t
have that right now.”
So we invited him to try it
with the lechon kawali instead.
I didn’t expect that
it was going to be a hit.
After that, a lot of customers started
ordering lugaw with lechon kawali.
Their lechon kawali is delicious.
The skin is crispy,
and the taste is perfect.
It’s really a winner!
We're full and we're happy.
And the food is very delicious!
This food is really for everyone.
For us, it’s like an answered prayer.
You’re going to be “Pretzel Crystal.”
So when he slammed me,
as in, I was like this…
Hey, you guys over there!
A round of applause!
I am proud to be from this tenement,
because our court is famous.
Not only in the Philippines,
but in the whole world.
A lot of people speculate
that this place is dangerous,
that it is not a safe place.
Do you want to start rehearsal?
Do you want to practice? No?
You’re okay? You’re not nervous, right?
-Kind of.
-Kind of? Later.
I might be nervous later.
You missed a lot of things!
The last Elephant was so fun.
It’s my bedsheet.
Did you even wash that?
Just tap it,
but I think it’s still a little bit…
Everything okay?
And you thought I forgot about you
I won’t forget you, fool
I’ll just charge you later in round 2
You don’t have a heart, bro
‘Cause everyone else is understanding
Except for you
Everyone else is forgiving
Except for you
Everyone else that I owe, I’ve paid
Except for you
Calling for the last battle of the night.
For the finale of our celebration
here at the FlipTop Festival,
Zaito and Sak Maestro.
Beloved King
I have a gift for you
Here, a new crown
It came from Wuhan
You’re always up against the light
Your teeth are dirty white
He is the only person I know
Who takes meth even when he’s asleep
He is a beast in bed
After all, not only does he put
His penis in, but even his balls too
Ah, Sak.
Do you remember that one night
When you came home drunk?
You brought home an old woman
You said she’s from the province
Boss Aric and I looked at each other
Both of us felt so sorry for her
Even though I was already sleepy, Sak
I cooked for Grandma
But it was too late when we found out
That Grandma was your ex-girlfriend
And you wanted to get back with her
Boss Aric, don’t you laugh!
When they were having sex, you joined in
Real talk, my friends
Boss Pedro is my idol
If I hadn’t watched Zaito
There probably wouldn’t be a Sak Maestro
You shouldn’t believe my jokes
Or what I am saying
Just persevere and believe in yourself
And don’t be too proud
Nothing is impossible
And anything can happen
Zaito is living proof
That a piece of shit can be a rapper
Thank you very much to all of you!
All of the MCs.
Filipino hip-hop continues!
