Instead, "Malaya" is a historical annotation, not only of Bayang’s own musical journey, but also those of the local environmental and activist movements, the Pinoy’s continuing struggle for sense of self, and the development of and challenges faced by local arts, including the OPM industry itself. Malaya, as a theme, is a complex idea that cuts across 12 songs with diverse themes. Together they tell a bigger story: songs of people’s struggles as well as much-deserved breaks; songs of faith and praise; songs of childhood, of parenthood and of mortality; songs of Mother Earth and the human condition. What is constant in all the songs chosen by Bayang for her fifth album is the interplay of the triad of dependence, independence, and interdependence.
