Gloc-9 reveals why he felt afraid after releasing his hit single 'Sirena'

Gloc-9 shared why he felt scared after releasing his hit 2012 single Sirena. 

The rapper-songwriter, whose real name is Aristotle Pollisco, opened up about the song anew in his guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on July 24. 

Host Boy Abunda first praised and thanked him for the song, which he said has become an anthem for the gay community. 

In his response, Pollisco said that he felt afraid after releasing it at the time, fearing that he included remarks that might be offensive to the gay community. 

"Kung alam n'yo lang kung gaano ako katakot noong time na ni-release namin 'yung kanta, dahil ayaw kong malaman na meron akong nailagay doon na hindi tama," the rapper said. 

“Nakisuot lang po ako ng sapatos ninyo, nanghiram ako ng tsinelas ninyo, tinry kong suotin at sumulat ako ng kanta,” he added. 

“Pero ako’y very thankful sa pag-receive ninyo. Isa ‘yan sa mga pinakamahal ko na kanta,” Pollisco stressed. 

In his previous interview with ABS-CBN News, Pollisco said that when he wrote Sirena, he wasn’t yet aware of the sexuality of his son, Sean Daniel, the twin brother of Daniele Shaun.

“Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa anak ko na, kung gaano ko siya kamahal,” he shared at the time when he learned that his son is gay. 

“Minsan iniisip ko how life gives you hints of magic here and there,” he said. 

 “Ako’y proud na may anak ako na tulad ni Daniel. Mahal na mahal ko ang mga anak ko at gagawin ko ang lahat para sa kanila,” he added. 

The award-winning rapper’s songs often tackle the country’s social issues. His hits include Simpleng Tao, Upuan, Magda, Walang Natira, Lando (with FrancisM), and Bagsakan
