We are all too familiar with this. When campaign season is ongoing, we can often hear bastardized versions of popular songs turned into campaign jingles on full blast going around the neighborhood.
However, this time, an artist called out this practice of unauthorized used of songs in campaign jingles.
Raymund Marasigan took to Twitter his thoughts about this.
He posted:
whenever you hear an unauthorized bastardized version of a popular song as an election jingle, pls don’t vote that candidate.
dipa naelect nagnakaw na?

(Rough translation: They haven’t been elected yet but they are already stealing)A Twitter user asked him how would people know if the artist gave permission for their songs to be used. Raymund said:
here’s a few ways you can find out.
you can ask the artist their management or the label.
