Rap artist Gloc9 (Aristotle Pollisco in real life) had broken his silence on netizens' reactions for endorsing VP Jejomar Binay's bid for Presidency.
Gloc9 was seen performing at the proclamation rally of Abby Binay, daughter of VP Binay, who's running for Mayor in Makati City last Monday, March 28. Gloc9 was bashed and criticized by netizens on social media.
In his Instagram account on Wednesday night, Gloc 9 expressed his sentiments on the issue.
"Pinag sabihan po ako ng aking management na huwag nang mag salita tungkol dito pero di ko po kaya", he said on his opening statement.
Gloc9 said he respects the opnion of the people, of his fans despite the harsh words and criticisms he's getting.
"Nais ko pong malaman ng lahat na nababasa ko ang mga saloobin ninyo at nirerespeto ko ito kahit na minsan masasakit na ang mga salitang kasama nito."
He also apologized to his critics for endorsing a politician who's different from theirs.
"Paumanhin po kung hindi nasunod ang gusto ninyo at mawalang galang na din po sa mga nag sasabing hindi pwedeng TRABAHO LANG ITO dahil ITO LAMANG NAMAN PO ANG TRABAHO KO."
"Hindi po ito hobby na naging trabaho ito po ay isang pangarap na ipinaglaban ko ng halos dalawang dekada sa kahit na saan ano at kanino at maitutuloy ko lamang ito kung ito ang magiging hanap buhay ko."
Gloc9 says he had performed on stage of different political candidates but pointed out to critics that whom he decided to perform for isn't someone whom his critics favor. Further, he insisted that every politician has their own dirt but hoped for someone who would win would serve best for the country.
"Ako ay kumakanta sa entablado ng ibat ibang kandidato marahil ay hindi nyo lang gusto ang isang entabladong sinampahan ko. Katulad ng lahat may kanya kanyang dungis na ibinabato sa bawat isa sa kanila gayon paman i wish all the candidates good luck sa darating na elections at naway ang mapipili ay tunay na mag sisilbi at tamang mamumuno sa bayan natin."
In the end, Gloc9 said he would apologize not to his critics but to his children if ever whom he decided to endorsed is guilty of their accusations.
"At sa may mga sama ng loob kung sakaling ang lahat po ng bintang duro at akusasyon ninyo sa huli ay mapapatunayang tama at tunay hihingi po ako ng tawad ngunit hindi sa kahit na sino man dahil higit sa aking pagiging manunulat ng awitin, higit sa aking pagiging ehemplo at higit sa aking pagiging mamamayan ako po ay isang Ama. "
"Hihingi ako ng tawad sa aking mga anak dahil naniniwala ako na sa kanila lamang ako may pananagutan. "
"Salamat po. Gloc-9"
And to this, we salute you Gloc9 for taking a stand. #Respect
