AJ Rafael & VJ Rosales React to

We sat down with AJ Rafael and VJ Rosales of the Filharmonic to talk about Filipinos in the music industry. Reacting to our Chismis episode of “Are Filipinos Marketable in Music,” they share their experiences about Filipino representation and working in entertainment. In this One Down Reacts, we explore this topic even more and would love to know what you think. Let us know in the comments below the next video you want us to react to!
