In just three days, Gloc 9's Sirena already topped the MYX
countdown. "Sirena" is a song which tackles gay issues. The track
wants to create a social awareness about the struggles of a gay person in our
society. The music video shows that gays are being discriminated. In which some
parents beat down their gay children because they can't accept them.

With the help of Ebe Dancel's vocals, the track's chorus
becomes more powerful. The chorus, "Ako'y isang sirena, Kahit anong
sabihin nila ako ay ubod ng ganda, Ako'y isang sirena, Kahit anong gawin nila
bandera ko'y di tutumba, Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid, Naglalakihang mga
braso, sa'kin dumidikdik, Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid, Sa patagalan ng paghinga,
sa'kin kayo ay bibilib", indicates gays to be more strong even though they
are being discriminated because they can do all the hardships.
Gloc 9 is very proud with his new single because he worked
very hard on this song not to offend anyone and this is his very first time to
make a song about a gay man and to present it in a first person's point of
view. [source]
Boy Abunda, one of the successful gays in the country also
participated in the music video. Abunda's participation in the music video
makes it more pro-gay.
Gloc 9's Sirena will touch your heart especially in the part
in which his father finally accepted his gay son and said, "Anak, patawad
sana sa lahat ng aking nagawa, Di sinusukat ang tapang at ang bigote sa mukha,
Dahil kung minsan mas lalake pa sa lalake ang bakla" (Forgive me son for
all the wrong things I've done. Courage and mustache is not the true measures
[of being a man] because sometimes gays are more man than a man.)
Sirena will surely topped the MYX Pinoy Countdown and MYX
Hitchart next week replacing I'll be There by Julie Anne San Jose on both
charts.
"Sirena" is Gloc 9's first single of his new album
"MKNM: Mga Kwento ng Makata", under Universal Records. It is also his
first album under Universal Records.
The track "Sirena" is a siren to stop the
discrimination against gay persons. Gloc 9 once again created a masterpiece on
this song after Upuan and Walang Natira. The song Upuan tackles the incumbent
officials on the government while the track Walang Natira tackles the sudden
migration of Filipinos to work overseas and earn a living there leaving their
family here.
Gloc 9 should be dubbed "The Rizal of Rapping"
because he wants his listeners to be enlightened like what Rizal did on his two
novels, Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.
