On the one hand this reminds me of Indonesian Keroncong Music, on the other hand I hear a Spanish loanword (“istorya”) and it could therefore be a Philippine language (some of which are also spoken in Indonesia and Malaysia). But there are several more glottal stops than are usual in Indonesian and I think I hear “magkita” (to meet one another), “isa” (one, oneness) etc. So it is Philippine language, I guess …
I agree with both of them , Emanuel and Hank. It is a typical Philippine language from the island of Panay, in Las Visayas. I think that the most widely spoken language is Hiligainon. it could be this language.
The answer is Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), a Central Philippine language spoken mainly in Iloilo province on Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines.
Could it be a language from the Philippines?

I checked out Hiligainon and the song being sung in a clip there is in that language.
