Multi-awarded Kapamilya star John Arcilla has ventured into singing blues with the single, “Ano Ba ‘Yan, P*nyeta,” released
Multi-awarded Kapamilya star John Arcilla has ventured into singing blues with the single, “Ano Ba ‘Yan, P*nyeta,” released on his birthday, June 24, under Star Music.
He penned the song in March 2025 amid the noise and chaos around him, hoping to provide listeners with a cathartic escape through music.
“Ang daming nagagalit na tao sa mga nangyayari sa paligid natin. Kailangan natin ng isang kanta na may catharsis, yung mailabas ng tao yung sama niya ng loob,” shared the “Heneral Luna” actor, who is behind the iconic line ‘p*nyeta” in the film.
He hopes that the song will encourage people to listen to one another.
He said, “Masyado na tayong maingay bilang isang bansa pero ‘di tayo nagkakasundo. Parang kailangan natin ng release para mabawasan man lang ‘yon and then sana makinig tayo sa isa’t isa.”
John, who is used to singing ballad, rock, and opera songs, revealed that it was his first time to sing blues.
“No’ng isinulat ko ito, ini-expect ko isa siyang ballad o love song na may konting suntok. No’ng dumating sa akin yung study, blues! ‘Di ako kumakanta ng blues, I was so excited. Ang ganda!” he said.
Coinciding with the song’s release, its music video has also made its premiere on ABS-CBN Star Music YouTube channel. Joining John in the MV are Kapamilya stars Jeremiah Lisbo and Karina Bautista, and content creator Christian Antolin.
“Ano Ba ‘Yan, P*nyeta” is now available on music streaming platforms. For more details, follow Star Music onFacebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
