In an article entitled “Singing Out Loud To Rock Impossibilities” published by the Philippine Star last August 21, it was named that Ely Buendia himself wrote the article.

He said that “that article, part of an ongoing soft drink campaign, was heartfelt, hard-sell, hubristic, and humorless.” It was far cry from Ely’s writing as I was able to read the actual article last August 21.

According to Ely, “despite this unpleasant episode I still have a very healthy and respectful relationship with the soft drink brand for which the article was commissioned.”
