"Bebot" is a song from The Black Eyed Peas' 2005 album Monkey Business. Allan Pineda Lindo also known as APL de ap sang the 1st verse during HBO's Marquez vs. Pacquiao 2 Countdown show, when he was featured along side Manny Pacquiao and his group in a resturant. Manny Pacquiao used the song as an entrance theme for his 2nd fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. Bebot is a Tagalog slang word which means "pretty woman", "hot chick", "hottie", "baby/babe".

In a similar fashion to "The Apl Song", which appeared on the group's 2003 album Elephunk, the song is rapped solo by apl.de.ap as a tribute to his childhood upbringing in the Philippines. However, in contrast to the first song's somber tone, "Bebot" is an uptempo song designed to be played at parties and clubs.

Labeled "Generation One" for its portrayal of first-generation Filipino Americans, is set in the 1930s and focuses on showing the life the early Filipino immigrants in Stockton, California as migrant farm workers. The video portrays the relationships between race and gender at the time, as Caucasian women (played by Fergie) are the objects of the Filipino men's affection.

In the early days of Filipino American immigration, only men were allowed into the United States, thus accounting for a large gender disparity in the Filipino American community. Therefore, Filipino American men often courted Caucasian women. Historically, courtships and sexual relations between Filipino men and Caucasian women caused a backlash amongst Caucasian men, leading to hate crimes being committed and the eventual passing of anti-miscegenation laws.

The "Generation Two" video is included in the Black Eyed Peas' music DVD, "Live From Sydney to Vegas". Before the video was officially released online, it was played at a Black Eyed Peas concert at Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines as apl.de.ap performed the song.

The video begin with an introduction with Fergie and Taboo knocking on APL's house which then his mom answers and starts to talk to them in a thick, heavy Filipino accent and then she asks Allan to come down and starts to embarrass him and then his baby sister Jasmine comes and Fergie tells his mom they're going to the park.

The music beginning shows Apl, Fergie, Will.I.Am and Taboo in different colour backgrounds singing. Afterwards the video showed Apl, Fergie, Will.I.Am, Taboo and his little sister singing at the park with girls and cars having a good time.

In this video Jasmine Trias was featured playing apl.de.ap's sister. Other Filipino-American celebrities appearing in either version of the video include DJ Rhettmatic of the Beat Junkies DJ crew , rap group Native Guns, mixed martial artist Brandon Vera, boxer Brian Viloria, Camile Velasco and Jose "Sway" Penala, amongst many others.
