Gloc-9 Has A Confession To Make In His New Single “Kumpisal” Featuring Skusta Clee

Tweet

The one and only Makata Sa Pinas Gloc-9 is releasing yet another single this May! This new song is called "Kumpisal", the Filipino rap icon’s third release for his Pilak album in celebration of his 25th anniversary in the Philippine music industry. Joining him in this string-fueled and vibrant collaboration is Skusta Clee, who’s undoubtedly one of the most popular rap artists on the OPM scene today.

Written and composed by Gloc-9 with musical arrangement, mixed, and mastered by Thyro Alfaro, "Kumpisal" looks into the dynamics of the Catholic sacrament of confession from the perspective of a confessee.

The lyrics? It’s classic Gloc-9 in his prime that you’ve always loved — bathed in cryptic wordplay and ethereally anthemic that even this mundane topic can transform into a poetic masterpiece. Gloc-9 said that he already wrote different songs on various topics, but releasing a song about religion and spirituality? Not yet. Thus, this song was carefully crafted and was made possible this year.

Joining the veteran hip-hop superstar in this latest endeavor is Skusta Clee and this the second time that these two rap idols have collaborated. Their first pairing was in Skusta Clee's single "Karma" wherein the Gloc-9 wrote the rap part. Its official music video released last November 2021 now has over 27 million views on YouTube and even reached #1 Trending For Music.

An official music video for “Kumpisal” is released alongside the single. The zany visual directed by Kirby Balagtas of YouMeUs MNL was shot inside a church with guest appearances by Shanti Dope, DJ Klumcee and Hellmerry. The exclusive premiere of the music video transpired during the intimate “Kumpisal” press conference inside a classy movie theater. (WATCH OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HERE)

Prior to this release, Gloc-9 was able to drop singles “Paliwanag” with Yeng Constantino and the title “Pilak” as part of his 25th anniversary album. Check out "Kumpisal" on your favorite music streaming platforms.

Red Ribbon’s Gift Box shows that there’s no better day to give love than today

Tweet

From little gestures to life-changing moments, happiness can be found in the things and relationships we encounter every day. With so many things happening all around us, it’s clear that what the world needs now is more love. It’s also the little things that make someone’s day brighter and complete.

The Gift Box was filled with balloons representing all the love people gave that day.

Red Ribbon, known for their delicious celebration cakes and pastries, enabled people from all walks of life to express their sweetest feelings of love with the Give Love Today “Gift Box” event held on April 23 at 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. This was an initiative that encouraged people to share love not only to those close to them but also to the rest of the world.

“Red Ribbon has a 43-year-old love story with Filipinos, where we are present at their special celebrations. The Gift Box event was our way of encouraging people to share their love not just on special occasions but every day. We want families to be able to express their love more openly to each other and friends to let each other know how special they are. This is our way of sharing love and happiness, especially as we are emerging from the pandemic,” says Red Ribbon Marketing Head Cathleen Capati.

Watch or relive how people gave love and how Red Ribbon shared love with everyone by watching the Red Ribbon Give Love Today “Gift Box” event video on their official Facebook page.

Giving love today is made sweeter with Red Ribbon favorites

All we need is love, sweet love

From couples celebrating their love, children who tell their parents how much they are appreciated, to friends who are thankful to have each other, the Give Love Today campaign showed them that all we need is love and there’s no better feeling than expressing it or receiving it.

At the event, people expressed how much they love their family and the special people in their lives with messages ranging from simple “I love you”s to all-out performances.

EJ Miranda thanked her aunt, Trely Miranda, for raising her and, in the darkest moments of her life, being her rock.

“I was diagnosed with cancer in 2008 and my aunt helped me through my treatments and supported me all the way. I wouldn’t be alive without her,” EJ said through tears. “She also raised me since I was a child. It’s like she gave her life for me, that’s why I love her so much.”

Zedric Schneider meanwhile thanked his dad for doing his best as a single father after his wife passed away.

"Thank you for being the best dad. It must have been hard being a single dad, especially without mama, but you did it," he told his father.

After singing “Got to Believe in Magic” as a tribute to the love his parents had for each other, Zedric Schneider and his father took home a ukulele and a Red Ribbon cake.

In an impromptu performance, he also paid tribute to the love his parents had for each other by singing their theme song, David Pomeranz's "Got to Believe in Magic."

"'Cause it's magic when my parents fell in love," Zedric sang.

Each message was made even sweeter with the Red Ribbon gift box containing their favorite Red Ribbon products and other amazing items, such as stuffed toys, roses, ukeleles, inflatable pools, and even a foldable bike.

As a special treat for the crowd, Red Ribbon also gave away pastry packs to share with their loved ones and encourage them to give love every day.

The Give Love Today Gift Box event showed that expressions of love should not be reserved for special occasions, as there are many types of love. Kind gestures to family, friends, and even those you encounter outside your home, can show how much you care can really make a difference in someone else’s day.

GCash and CIMB Bank offer up to 7% p.a. interest with GSave

To help Filipinos grow their finances and achieve their #IponGoals, GCash, the leading mobile wallet in the country, and CIMB Bank, the country’s leading digital banking services provider, are offering as much as 7% per annum on GSave. Currently the highest interest rate available in the market, the offer is available to GCash users who will sign up for their first GSave account from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022.

The GSave feature has been live in the GCash app since December 2018 in partnership with CIMB Bank. It has been providing unbanked Filipinos with the opportunity to open a savings account that requires no initial deposit, maintaining balance, or lock-in period.

A study conducted by GCash revealed that one out of every 5 banked adults has a GSave account, while a total of 5.3 million users have registered to GSave by the end of the first quarter of 2022.

"At GCash, we continuously strive to realize our vision of financial inclusion for all which is why we try to address the barrier between unbanked Filipinos and having a savings account. With GSave, we are enabling more Filipinos to grow their finances and build a better future for themselves and their loved ones," said Martha Sazon, president and CEO of GCash.

The partnership with CIMB Bank has been helping GCash support the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ thrust to grow the number of Filipinos with a formal bank account by up to 70% in 2023. Based on estimates from monetary authorities, the number of banked Filipinos adults has already increased to 41 million as of the third quarter of 2021 or around 53% of total adult Filipinos.

To start saving via GSave, users just have to click its icon on the GCash dashboard and tap GSave by CIMB Bank. Then, click "Open a Savings Account." On the Save Money Registration page, tick the box under CIMB Bank Policies to agree to the Terms and Conditions and tap Open a Savings Account. Lastly, tap "OK" after the confirmation message has been displayed. The 7% p.a. interest rate will be effective for new users and will be applied to the first P100,000 average daily balance in the account for the first three months after successful account opening. A 4% p.a. promo interest rate will apply to balances from P100,000 to P200,000, which is still higher than what traditional banks offer.
