The full music video for Heber Bartolome’s rock hymn which also serves as SMART Bro’s campaign song and features the four OPM icons Rico Blanco, Raimund Marasigan, Barbie Almalbis, Ely Buendia was launched on-air and online during the 27th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution last February 25, 2013 at the SMART Jump In Center in SM Megamall Cyberzone. It features the beautiful Pinoy sounds and breathtaking sights from different parts of the country. Rico, Raimund, Ely , Barbie and executives of Smart Communications all agreed that Heber Bartolome’s song about embracing originality and transcending boundaries is more applicable to renew at a time when Pinoy Pride is very much all the rage.
