Recalling the process of creating the track, John Arcilla said he was inspired to use the expletive—which was popularized by his titular role in the 2015 film 'Heneral Luna'—after hearing singers Juan Karlos Labajo and Regine Velasquez incorporate similar language in their songs.

So what does this mean for his fans and the Filipino public in general?
