Alamat (Baybayin: ᜀᜎᜋᜆ᜔) is a Filipino boy band formed in 2020 by Viva Entertainment and Ninuno Media, consisting of nine members: Taneo, Mo, Jao, Kin, Tomas, R-Ji, Valfer, Gami, and Alas.^[1] Formed through PWEDE: The National Boyband Search, the group distinguishes itself as a multilingual and multiethnic boy band that sings in seven Philippine languages: Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Bisayan, Hiligaynon, Bikolano, and Waray-Waray.^[2]^[3]^[4] After training for nine months, the group debuted on February 14, 2021 with their first single, "kbye."^[5]^[6] Alamat currently holds the distinction of being the fastest-rising Pinoy act on the Billboard Next Big Sound chart, debuting at #2.^[7]^[8]

Concepts

Group Concept

The group was formed by renowned director JP Laxamana with the goal of "normalizing the use of regional languages in mainstream music". ^[9] From this vision, the idea of a

multilingual boy group was created. The group's name also has its own meaning. If translated to English, 'ALAMAT' means 'Myth' or 'Legend'. These are stories about one's culture that are either passed down from generation to generation to be preserved, or to simply just spark a child's imagination. Another meaning behind the group name is its aim to become a master or an idol (as the word 'alamat' is often used to describe a figure who greatly impacted a field or made a name). These two things are the things behind their group name. ^[10]

Fandom Name

In November 26, 2020, the group announced through a Facebook Livestream their official fandom name which is 'Magiliw'. In Filipino, the word means 'affectionate'. Significantly, the word is often associated to the national anthem of the Philippines (Lupang Hinirang) as the word 'magiliw' is used to describe the nation on the song's first line ("Bayang Magiliw"). The group mentioned during the live that they believe Filipinos are naturally magiliw to one another, regardless of color or race. They aim to use their infuence through their music in spreading the act of being 'magiliw'.^[11] To further show their appreciation and love to their fans, they also performed a song "Alam N'yo Ba?" (English: "Do you know?") live during the broadcast.

Official Color

The official color of the fandom is brown. This represents the natural skintone of the Filipinos.

Mascot

Unlike other pop groups, ALAMAT has its own mascot named Aki Alamid. Aki is based from a local animal called 'musang' or 'alamid', also known as the Asian palm civet which is

native to the country and its South and Southeast Asian neighbors. Aki carries three significant items representing the three major island groups of the country (Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao). ^[12] For Luzon, Aki wears a tabungaw hat-- a hat made of tabungaw vegetable and used by the farmers of the Northern Luzon. Visayas is represented by Aki through the Bahag (garment) of Lapu-Lapu as seen in the Statue of Sentinel Freedom in Rizal Park. Mindanao is represented by the Waling-waling, a flower endemic to Mindanao and is called the 'Queen of Philippine Flowers'.
