BisRock
BisRock is a subgenre of Pinoy rock, propagated by the Cebu rock music industry in the Philippines. The term, which is in the blended form, comes from the Cebuano words Bisaya, referring the Visayan language, and "rock", for rock music. The term was coined by Cebuano writer Januar E. Yap in 2002 and was first applied to Missing Filemon's first album.
Earning wide reception among the young in the Visayas and Mindanao, Bisrock is a fairly recent cultural phenomenon. The style started around the 1980s, when Cebu's rock scene was beginning to be labeled as "Bisrock". During this time, a group of musicians from the University of San Carlos coined the local music scene as Bisrock in support of patriotism for the Cebuano music scene. However, this genre is debatable as Bisrock seems to be popular only in Cebu. As it is, the movement died down around 2009, as even Missing Filemon themselves distanced itself from the term "Bisrock".

by: MavericksThe sun is always shinin' wherever you go
And there's an angel watchin' over you I know
You get away with everythin' but not very far
That's just what you are
Everybody knows you in the neighborhood
And sometimes what they say isn't always that good
You're not misbehavin', you're misunderstood
But we still love you
Hey, Pizziricco, bet you know that your mama loves you
Pizziricco, bet you know that your daddy does too
Pizziricco, wherever you go, whatever you do
Pizziricco, your dreams will come true
You and all your little friends are runnin' around
Gettin' into trouble never brings you down
You have been my happiness right from the start
The joy of my heart
Hey, Pizziricco, bet you know that your mama loves you
Pizziricco, bet you know that your daddy does too
Pizziricco, wherever you go, whatever you do
Pizziricco, your dreams will come true
Hey, Pizziricco, bet you know that your mama loves you
Pizziricco, bet you know that your daddy does too
Pizziricco, wherever you go, whatever you do
Pizziricco, your dreams will come true
Hey, Pizziricco, bet you know that your mama loves you
Pizziricco, bet you know that your daddy does too

Pizziricco, your dreams will come true
Pizziricco, your dreams will come true
