• OPM icon Ely Buendia has released a controversial song entitled ‘Metro,’ which is calling for a new leader, March 16, Tuesday.

  The political song was composed and performed by Buendia himself. It was made for ‘We Need A Leader 2022,’ a campaign that aims to educate voters on what kind of leaders to vote in the upcoming 2022 overall elections.

  “We don’t really have an official statement but to clarify, we got on board this project simply because we wanted to be part of a movement that serves to educate people to vote wisely and more importantly to encourage them to exercise their right to do so. This is simply and solely a public service video, a non partisan advocacy. We got on board with the assurance that this is not an endorsement or affiliated with any political organizations or the likes. This was something we made sure was clarified and assured us before we even joined this cause.” Buendia’s manager and occasional creative partner Diane Ventura’s statement sent to ANC.

  “All we wish for is a good future for the Philippines. That is what this is mainly about. And if you really listen to the song then you’ll find that essence and it speaks louder than whatever people are trying to paint and taint this action with. And something people can hopefully revert to regardless of situation or administration, conscious decision-making.” Ventura added.
