Gloc-9, Mang Tomas shout out to all “ganadads” in Father’s Day song

Tweet

ICONIC Filipino rapper Gloc-9 collaborated with Mang Tomas All Around Sarsa in a catchy and heartwarming song that pays tribute to the noble characteristics and sacrifices of Filipino dads.

The song, titled “Anong Macho Ang Tatay Mo,” will be released on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, and other digital streaming platforms on June 18, while its official music video is scheduled to drop on YouTube and Facebook just in time for Father’s Day on Sunday.

The music video is a timely and fitting tribute to all hard-working and dedicated dads out there. It shows Gloc-9 taking off the Mang Tomas’ iconic salakot and barong ensemble to slip into a more familiar role as an average dad. Audiences will surely get a kick out of seeing the usually “siga” rapper struggling to balance his household tasks at home—from cooking and doing the laundry, to watering plants and making grocery runs.

Behind the upbeat instrumentals and the humorous visuals of Gloc-9, however, lies a heartfelt and affectionate ‘thank you’ to every father who are true inspiration to all.

“As a father, I finally understand the challenges of fatherhood and how our efforts tend to go unnoticed,” says Gloc-9, a proud dad of three kids—teenage twins and a young girl. “Together with Mang Tomas, I want to say thank you to all fathers, including my own, and remind them that their efforts will always be appreciated. Saludo ako sa lahat ng mga GanaDads!”

Aside from expressing gratitude, the song is a definitive statement by Mang Tomas and Gloc-9: true macho fathers are gentle, kind, and sensitive as opposed to the stereotypes of fathers being rugged, cold, and detached.

“We want to break these notions of masculinity. Kasi ‘pag sinabing macho, ang dating is usually tough and brusko,” says Gloc-9 “In reality, bahagi ng pagiging tunay na macho ay ang pagiging supportive sa asawa at pagtulong sa mga gawaing bahay.”

“We wanted to make a song that reminds fathers that it’s okay to be warm, and uplift these notions of masculinity to a more modern Macho Ganado Dads characterization.”

Father’s Day or not, a Mang Tomas video wouldn’t be complete without shots of mouth-watering ulam paired with a bottle of our favorite all-around sarsa.

“Excited na ako for Father’s Day kasi sigurado malaki ang handaan with my family,” Gloc-9 admits, “I can’t wait to celebrate another year of fatherhood with the Mang Tomas! Siguradong mapaparami kami talaga ng kain!”

“Anong Macho Ang Tatay Mo” was written by Aristotle “Gloc-9” Pollisco and arranged by Rassell “Goodson” Tiquia, with mixing and mastering by John Edmel “Goode” Tabuniar, and instrumentation by Samuel Engreso Mopal.

Meanwhile, the official music video was directed by award-winning filmmaker and PR guru Chris Cahilig of Insight 360 with Nic Villanueva as director of photography and editor. It was filmed at the model units of Bria Homes in Magalang, Pampanga.

What’s the Best Shade of Green? Kuya Kim, Matteo Guidicelli say it’s leading a Healthy Life

Tweet

 

 

Pasig City, Philippines – [June 18, 2021] — Life is what you make of it, they say. That is why, amid today's “new normal,” leading a healthy lifestyle is a commitment you can give yourself to ensure that you are at your best despite uncertainties.  

 

Take it from celebrity fitspirations and triathletes Matteo Guidicelli and “Kuya” Kim Atienza, both ambassadors of Santé, a provider of premier natural and organic health and wellness products and services. As they embody the live more, do more lifestyle, they believe that good health makes life more meaningful.  

 

“Matteo has this mindset to always give all his best in everything that he does. That simple but exciting enthusiasm, in a way, motivates me to do the same and live more and do more in life,” said Kuya Kim. 

 

Working together with Santé, Matteo and Kuya Kim also believe that leading a healthy lifestyle can only be achieved by committing to it. According to them, it is still easier to accomplish something when you share it with people who motivate and challenge you to go further. 

 

“When I started joining triathlons, I always see the Santé TriTeam, Kuya Kim, and Sir Joey. Racing alongside them inspired me to push myself to the limit and, somehow, be great at the sport. Having people like them to look up to helped me carry out my goals and keep my body healthy for myself and my loved ones,” said Matteo Guidicelli. 

 

He added that “Kuya Kim is always great to work with. He is such a nice guy with a good spirit, good values, and morals. It is an honor to be working with him. It is also an honor to represent a brand like Santé, and I hope to continue representing them since the company has not only great products but also great values.” 

 

Other than challenging each other to stay at their best and fittest, Kuya Kim and Matteo give credit to Santé for helping them achieve their health goals with products like Santé Barley™ Powder, a pure organic barley grass powdered drink, blended with one of nature's most potent sweeteners, Stevia, and Santé Barley™ Capsule, a 500-mg pure barley grass powder packed in vegetable capsules without any additives. 

 

Recently, Santé launched the new packaging for these flagship products. They now come in its new, vibrant Santé Green packaging, inspired by the 'greenest of greeneries' in New Zealand—the best shade of green. 

 

“The new packaging is very classic. It looks classy and reminds me of the greenery in New Zealand. Just by looking at the box reminds us of how fresh and how green the country is. Santé Barley™ is a great product. It has changed a lot of people's lives,” said Matteo Guidicelli. 

 

Kuya could not agree more. He said that “it is the same old Santé Barley™ that we love. But this time, we are reminded of the green pastures of New Zealand, where Santé Barley™ is from. The thing that I like about Santé Barley™, aside from the fact that it is rich in nutrients and vitamins, is that it tastes good.” 

 

Santé BarleyTM stays true to its benefits, helping people strengthen their immune system, boost energy and stamina, remove toxins, promote bone and dental health, reduce inflammation, and many more. 

 

“Just like Kuya Kim and Matteo, the whole Santé family is excited to share the new look of our Santé Barley™ Powder and Santé Barley™ Capsule. Amid these challenging times where health and wellness have never been more important. With its new look and the same Santé Barley™ that we have come to trust, we want to encourage everyone to live more and do more in life,” said Santé CEO Joey Marcelo. 

 

Santé is one of the fastest-growing distribution and direct selling companies globally. Aside from New Zealand and the Philippines, Santé is also present in key markets, such as Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Abuja, Lagos, and Cyprus. It offers premier natural and organic health and wellness products and services designed to improve people's quality of life so they can live more and do more.
