Ely Buendia Denies Writing Softdrink Article in Philippine Star

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. Ely Buendia expressed his rage against this ghostwriter through the Pupil Forum. 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.”
