(Alamat, handa 'rap)
R-Ji
Araw, ulap, simoy ng hangin
Puno, dagat, at ang buhangin
Lahat ng ‘yan naging payak
Nang marinig ang tinig mo (woo-hoo)
Taneo
Lapit, usap at nang yayain
Isang buong araw kang naging akin
Ang tangi lang natitiyak
Mula noo’y nabihag mo
Mo
I think about you day and night
Oh, naghunahuna ko nimo (woo-hoo)
Girl you’re always on my mind
I think about you
Adlaw ug gabii, adlaw ug gabii
Jao
Day and night
Gimingaw kaayo ko nimo (woo-hoo)
Girl I need you by my side
Girl I miss you
Adlaw ug gabii, adlaw ug gabii
Alas
Araw-araw pabalik balik
Kung sa’n mo ‘ko unang nakawit
Tanging nais ko lang ay
Muling marinig ang tinig mo (woo-hoo)
Tomas
Nung sa pampang ay napalapit
Aking mata’y muling naakit
Naro’n pala naghihintay
Ako’y muling nabihag mo
R-Ji
I think about you day and night
Oh, naghunahuna ko nimo (woo-hoo)
Girl you’re always on my mind
I think about you
Adlaw ug gabii, adlaw ug gabii
Taneo
Day and night
Gimingaw kaayo ko nimo (woo-hoo)
Girl I need you by my side
Girl I miss you
Adlaw ug gabii, adlaw ug gabii
Tomas
Ug sa sunod ta’ng mag uban
I-Ingnan na tika
I wanna be more than your friend
R-Ji
Kay sulod sa’kong dughan
Day, ikaw ra ‘til the end
(Basin diay)
Jao
Ikaw nang hinahanap ko
(Basin diay)
Puso’t isip ko ay hawak mo
(Basin diay)
Lahat ay gagawin para sa ‘yo
Teka teka teka, ba’t nga ba ‘ko nagkakagan’to
Alas
Unang kita ko pa lang bigla na ‘kong nahulog
Ta’s kinabukasan unti-unti na ‘kong nalulunod
Dapat yata magising na ‘ko
Dito sa ‘king bangungot
Pero… ay ay ay, porbida…
Tomas/Mo
I think about you day and night
Tomas
Oh, naghunahuna ko nimo (woo-hoo)
Girl you’re always on my mind
Tomas/Mo
I think about you
Tomas
Adlaw ug gabii, adlaw ug gabii
Mo
Day and night
Gimingaw kaayo ko nimo (woo-hoo)
Girl I need you by my side
Girl I miss you
Adlaw ug gabii, adlaw ug gabii...
(Alamat, about-face)
R-Ji
The sun, the clouds, the breeze
The trees, the sea, and the sand
All of that became irrelevant
When I heard your voice (woo-hoo)
Taneo
Approached, talked, and when invited
For one whole day you were mine
What I’m really sure of is
Since then you’ve captivated me
Mo
I think about you day and night
Oh I’m thinking about you (woo-hoo)
Girl, you’re always on my mind
I think about you
Day and night, day and night
Jao
Day and night
I really miss you (woo-hoo)
Girl, I need you by my side
Girl, I miss you
Day and night, day and night
Alas
Every day, I keep coming back
To where you first got me hooked
All I want is
To hear your voice again (woo-hoo)
Tomas
When I got near the shore
My eyes were attracted once more
You were there waiting
You captivated me again
R-Ji
I think about you day and night
Oh I’m thinking about you (woo-hoo)
Girl, you’re always on my mind
I think about you
Day and night, day and night
Taneo
Day and night
I really miss you (woo-hoo)
Girl, I need you by my side
Girl, I miss you
Day and night, day and night
Tomas
And the next time we’d be together
I’ll tell you
I wanna be more than your friend
Mo
For you’re inside my heart
Girl, it’s only you ’til the end
(Who knows?)
Jao
You’re the only one I’m looking for
(Who knows?)
My heart and mind are yours
(Who knows?)
I’ll do everything for you
Wait, wait, wait, what’s happening to me?
Alas
First time I saw you, I’ve already fallen
The very next day, I was gradually drowning
Maybe I should wake up
From this nightmare
But… oh, damn…
Tomas/Mo
I think about you day and night
Tomas
Oh I’m thinking about you (woo-hoo)
Girl, you’re always on my mind
Tomas/Mo
I think about you
Tomas
Day and night, day and night
Mo
Day and night
I really miss you (woo-hoo)
Girl, I need you by my side
Girl, I miss you
Day and night, day and night...

The DOST-Philippine Textile Research Institute collaborated with Alamat, a six-member male idol group from the Philippines, by providing Philippine tropical fabrics used in their latest music video. The fabrics were made of blends of cotton-bamboo, cotton-pineapple leaf, and lyocell-pineapple leaf.
This collaboration allowed the Institute to showcase its technologies on natural textile fibers and promote sustainability.
The idol group is heavily influenced by the Philippine culture including the use of Philippine weaves in their clothing. Keep posted for more collaboration as Alamat takes its journey toward sustainability while promoting Philippine textiles through science, technology, and innovation.” — DOST-PTRI
