Mga Pop Girls, Jejemonbusters!

Posted/Original/Published By: STARtriga.blogspot.com

Pop is the cut word for popular, a term for whatever is popular with the youth, usually applied to pop music to separate it from folk, jazz, and classic music.

Pop Girls, the five-member girl band made up of twins Lai and Mar, 17, Rose, 14, Schai, 15, and Nadine, 16, is the fresh endorser of Sisters Feminine Napkins. Each of the girls posseses overwhelming charm, style, and talent that made them standout. As it is, the Pop Girls is against the Jejemons, young texters who spell words differently as some sort of clique lingo like gayspeak for gay people.

The Pop Girls has just released a 13-track debut album under Viva Records. It is said that with the advent of the girls on the scene, P-Pop is born to rival Korea’s K-Pop and Japan’s J-Pop. P-Pop songs will mirror the colorful life of the young with themes such as puppy love, shopping, dancing and basically having fun. These are themes that Sisters Feminine Napkins promotes, too, by giving female teenagers the comfort and protection they need, where and when it counts every month, to allow them to celebrate their identity as emerging adults.

Shai speaks her mind during the Pop Girls’ launch at City Best Restaurant on Tomas Morato Ave., “May normal naman pong way ng pagsusulat, so bakit ko iibahin pa yong spelling? Nakaka-confuse.”

A GMA7 report explained the Jejemons’ way of spelling: “Jejemon's etymology was supposed to have started from online users' penchant to type in ‘hehehe’ as ‘jejeje,’ either because ‘jeje’ is derived from Spanish, whose speakers denote the interjection as laughter, or because the letters ‘h’ and ‘j’ are beside each other, and that it is appended by ‘-mon’ that came from the Japanese anime Pokémon, with ‘-mon’ meant as ‘monster,’ hence ‘jeje monsters.’”

No matter how it murders English or Pilipino, the Jejemons is but a continuation of the youth’s fascination with pop. In the case of Pop Girls, members are Jejemonbusters or people who are against the Jejemon craze. At least the Pop Girls is true to themselves. The songs in their self-titled debut album including the carrier single “Crazy Crazy” have lyrics in correct English and Pilipino.

The girl group also fits the bill as Sisters Feminine Napkins’ endorsers for having members who are wholesome and well-educated not only in their music but in personality and lifestyle as well. It is recalled that since 2009, Sisters Feminine Napkins has brought its endorser Maja Salvador and other female celebrities around the country to promote positive moral values and success ethics among the youth.

Through the effort spearheaded by Sisters and Pop Girls, the Filipino youth achievers are given due recognition to inspire them to excel more and become excellent individuals who, in the future, can contribute greatly to the success of the Filipino nation.

The Sisters Feminine Napkins tour included stops in Mindoro, Dagupan, Cavite, Pampanga, Lucena, Batangas and Laguna, among others. Maja and some GMA Artist Center talents like Isabel Oli, Chynna Hortaleza and Arci Munoz gave away certificates of recognition and gifts from Sisters to exemplary youth achievers in high schools.

Sisters Feminine Napkins is the country’s leading reasonably priced feminine napkins. Megasoft Corp. led by young couple Emilio and Aileen Go, owns the brand. Sisters Feminine Napkins is fast becoming a preferred choice.
