FunTranscript
00:00In the 90s, this song became popular, but until now, it is still played and danced in many provinces whenever there are parties and reunions.
00:31To be honest, most of us do not understand the meaning of the lyrics of this song.
00:41The beat of this song is very catchy.
00:46It was very popular in the 1980s all over the Philippines because the rhythm is lively.
00:55This is Dayang Dayang.
01:00Dayang Dayang, Dayang Dayang, Dayang Dayang
01:04Because the language is different.
01:14There are speculations that the song Dayang Dayang is really similar to a song that was first recorded in our neighboring country in Southeast Asia, Malaysia.
01:27In this video from Sabah, you can see two girls dancing to the song Pinamagatang Pakiring.
01:34Although the lyrics are different, the tone is familiar.
01:39The tone of Dayang Dayang is similar.
01:41Dayang Dayang, Dayang Dayang, Dayang Dayang, Dayang Dayang, Dayang Dayang
01:49Others believe that the lyrics of Dayang Dayang is the word Tawsug from Sulu province in Mindanao.
01:56When we say Dayang Dayang, this is a first order princess from the Tawsug culture.
02:02But the most important part of the lyrics is the combination of the people in Southern Mindanao, which is the Tawsug and the Samadilao.
02:11There are also speculations that the song Dayang Dayang refers to the first lady of Sulu and the daughter of the sultan, Dayang Dayang Haji Piandaw Kiram.
02:25But all of these are just rumors.
02:29What's certain is that this song is named High Noon.
02:34However, the information about her personality is very limited.
02:40Until when?
02:43The diva behind the iconic song Pakiring Kapakiring,
02:48has become famous in the public.
02:55In a faraway province of Tawitawi, we will discover the long-sought-after Filipino.
03:03In this vlog of the content creator Kapuril, he shared his trip to the farthest province of the Philippines,
03:13Tawitawi.
03:15One of his destinations is the town of Sitangkay.
03:20Here in Sitangkay, you will find their floating market that is really visited by many tourists.
03:28But what really amazed the vlogger when he found out the original singer and songwriter of the iconic song Dayang Dayang.
03:37It's not only in Malaysia, but also here in the farthest island in the south of the Philippines.
03:48We found out that here in Sitangkay, you can find the original singer of Dayang Dayang.
03:56Some people told me, Sir, why don't you go to High Noon?
04:00And when the locals told me that he is the original singer of Dayang Dayang, I got interested.
04:08When I was young, I remember that Dayang Dayang is very famous.
04:13My parents also asked me to dance to it.
04:16I don't know who the original singer is.
04:19Until he faced it.
04:22This is the one and only.
04:30Miss High Noon.
04:32She is the original singer of Dayang Dayang.
04:35Known as High Noon.
04:40She is not Malaysian like what people thought.
04:43She is from the Samad Dilaut tribe.
04:46In contrast to High Noon, she is the original singer of Dayang Dayang.
04:52A Filipino.
05:02After almost three decades, her song became famous.
05:07This is the first television show in the Philippines.
05:11In her song, this is the first television interview of High Noon.
05:24High Noon is now 52 years old.
05:27When she was young, she really loved to sing.
05:30This is her strategy back then to sell ice candy.
05:34I sold ice candy and ice drops.
05:38I sang to them.
05:40Because of her talent in singing, she is often invited to occasions.
05:45Rich or poor, any tribe, High Noon is open.
05:49And when she is invited, their arrangement is how much they will give her.
05:54And because of one to three-hour ride on a boat,
05:58far away in Malaysia, High Noon went there for her gigs.
06:06Until the 1980s, while she was singing in a wedding in Malaysia,
06:12High Noon, who was only 15 years old, was discovered by a Malaysian recording company.
06:19I was brought to her house.
06:21We were fed well.
06:23Then the company said, can I try?
06:25She went back and forth to Malaysia to record other songs.
06:34But in the dynamics of her songs, there is one that not only became famous in Malaysia,
06:41it was also sung, not only in a large part of Mindanao, but also in the whole Philippines.
06:49This is Dayang Dayak.
06:56Dayang Dayak
07:06In 1996, when High Noon recorded Dayang Dayak in Malaysia,
07:11she used the language in her lyrics, the word of their tribe, Samad Dilaut.
07:18And did you know that she thought of the lyrics on the spot?
07:25Samad Dilaut
07:38To complete it, High Noon depicted the dance steps of a manayaw
07:44who was with her while recording the song.
07:47No one else but her mister, Aljan.
07:55Samad Dilaut
08:06One more trivia.
08:08It turns out that the title of her hit song is not Dayang Dayang.
08:12Based on what was printed on her cassette,
08:15the real title of this song is Dumba Dumba.
08:19A Malaysian word that if translated into their language is Kiring Kiring.
08:25Or in other words, Patagilid.
08:32After recording Dayang Dayang, High Noon received a talent fee of Php 30,000.
08:40She was also given 100 copies of cassette tapes that she brought and sold here in the Philippines.
08:48She was often invited there, especially in the 90s in Malaysia.
08:52From what she earned from singing, she was also able to educate her siblings.
08:58I support all of them.
09:01I am very proud of her.
09:03Until now, sir, my life has been a success because of High Noon.
09:11But when High Noon decided to lay low on recording songs,
09:15her life turned to taking care of her children and grandchildren.
09:20I will sell brands.
09:22I will work in the factory.
09:24I will just give a presentation.
09:26Around Php 100, sir.
09:28But she did not completely leave the world of music.
09:31There were still times when she was invited to sing in Sabah.
09:36Here, they will pay me Php 3,000 or Php 30,000.
09:41If you are here in Sitangkai, going to Malaysia via boat,
09:45it is around 50 kilometers.
09:48Malaysians are allowed to go there because they have a passage called Lepa Lepa.
09:55But they cannot stay there for long.
10:06She might have become popularized because she was the one who was recorded.
10:09But if we look at it again, going back on the culture,
10:12we can say that the most important thing is the ownership of the community.
10:17If we look at the culture of Moro,
10:19we can really say that there is no identity that owns the music.
10:23It means that the value is shared.
10:26The diva behind the iconic song Dayang Dayang,
10:30we know her now, High Noon, a Filipino.
10:34When I was young, my song was very popular.
10:42But they did not know me that well.
10:49But of course, I am happy and proud.
10:55The queen of Dayang Dayang, Yas Queen.
11:01Thank you for watching, Kapuso.
