I saw this posted in Soundcloud, tried researching the issue and found Gary Granada's argument valid. As an OFW living here in the UAE for the past five years, updating myself with Philippine news by watching GMA shows online, I can say I have nothing against the questioned institution. What I would like impressed here is the right of artists like us to claim recognition for what we humbly do. I don't know Mr Granada personally, what I know about him is the song "Bahay" which he composed and won the 1988 KBP Musicfest. I remember watching Gary singing this on TV with my Mom, who was herself a Quezon City Teacher's Choir soprano.
So, is Mr Granada just up for the moolah or is he really fighting for justice? Is he standing up for us/artists or just seeking sympathy? You tell me, after you listen to this.
