Because the Philippines is one of the most musically inclined countries in the world, not to mention, some of the best vocal skill are from here. One such skill is the ability to sing in dual voices. And we’re not just talking about being able to impersonate voice but actual, real simulation of both genders being able to sing.

It has been a long standing trend what with talented comedians singing female and male songs onstage; even prior to that, Doble Kara (two face) was a popular form of mass entertainment where people dress half male on one side of their body and female on the other and switch visible sides to the audience as well as voice on when on song ques.

The talent of singing with two voices sort of died down in a hype but was brought back into the spotlight with the rising of one Marcelito Pomoy on Pilipinas Got Talent.
