Award-winning musician Gary Granada airs his grievances over GMA Kapuso Foundation’s alleged use of his words and melody for the foundation’s 3pid Handog Edukasyon Jingle.

Gary, who got even more famous after having won in the MetroPop Song Festival (shown in GMA, if I remember it correctly), was asked by GMA Foundation to “create” a study based on a given lyrics. Of course, he made revisions to the lyrics to suit his “vision” for the song, put a tone to it, only to be rejected by the foundation. But that’s not where things had gone mad. Apparently, GMA Foundation passed the “work” to another composer BUT they most likely have given them the study made by Gary… and there are, apparently, a lot of similarities between the original study made by Gary and the one aired by GMA. Hmmnn…

Now, GMA said it was a collective effort… and to think that they even have campaigns against piracy (as Gary also mentioned). He said we’d all be like condoling stealing if we allow the Foundation (and Procter & Gamble) to get away with this.

He calls on people to air their views and concerns, to support his plea.

Go Gary!!!
