CBCP wants to ban Blanktape’s “Banana” song
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) wants to ban some pop songs from radio stations, which includes the latest hit “Banana” song by Blanktape and “Nagmamahal ako ng bakla.”
Caloocan Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez, who also heads the Committee on Public Affairs of CBCP said that the lyrics of those songs have double meaning. “Kailangan itigil na ang paglabas ng mga ganitong uri ng musika. Those should be banned. Dinudumihan nito ang isip ng mga kabataan instead of promoting the concept of morality.” he said.
The bishop also called on music composers to think first of the negative effects of the lyrics to the young listeners in composing their piece.

…dapat lang talagang itigil ang ganyang mga WALANG KWENTANG awitin,,,
wala namang makukuhang aral sa mga pinagsasabi ng lyrics nun,,,
para sa ibang kabataan walng meaning iyun, eh sa mga taong may mataas
na pag-iisip, alam na puro kalokahan lang yun,,,
makinig na lang kayo ng hillsong,
kesa sa ganyang awit na hindi mu malaman kung
saang planeta o lugar nakuha nag lyrics!

…sa ibang kabataan, para sa kanila wala,,,
kasi sa madaling sabi eh, gusto nila at walng pakialam sa nangyayari sa mundo!!!

omg don’t waste your time listening on that cheap song…as in yuck!

The song really sucks! No taste at all. Is that how desperate the music industry now? They can no longer come up with beautiful lyrics?
Kudos to CBCP for this action. I just hope that by doing so, they will also remove their members who loves “banana!”LOL

Tama lang na ban yang mga yan..wala na bang maisip na matitinong kanta ang mga artists natin?
August 16th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
walang pinag kaiba yan sa kanta ng E-HEADS na ALAPAAP na pina ban ng senado dahil daw masamang impluensiya, hay naku kung ano man ang meaning who cares, pa pansin lang yan

dumali na naman ang simbahan!tsk tsk
August 16th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
…alam niyo concern lang talaga ang simbahan sa nangyayari sa lipunan,,,
hindi “nagpapapansin ang simbahan” at hindi rin “umeeksena”,
sa madaling sabi naman talaga,
parang may pagkabastos ang pinalalabas ng kantang iyan,,,
kasi ang simbahan may MORAL at DELIKADESA,,,
ginagawa nila kung ano ang makakabuti sa bayan,,,
sabi nga,,,
“Kung alam mong mali ang ginagawa ng kapwa mo,
umaksyon at kumilos ka, itama mo siya,”
Nagmamalasakit lang ang simbahan!!!!

August 16th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
normal at wala namang paki ang marami sa mga ganyang kanta. pero ang sa akin lang, napakinggan ko na yung kantang Banana minsan, eh sobrang halata kasi na Banana as in yung ari ng guy ang tinukoy eh. ewan ko lang sa nagmahal ako ng bakla churva na yan, hahaha!
August 17th, 2009 at 8:08 am

The main issue why CBCP wants to ban the song Banana of Blanktape, its becasue again its an issue of Christian over Muslims. Blanktape is a Muslim Rapper. Tubong Zamboanga. He can Rap in Tausog, Chvacano, Tagalog, English. Bakit yung mga songs ni Willie Revillame hindi nila pinagbabawal ? Mga prayle galit sa mga lahi ni Lapu lapu… :)

Well, nakadepende na rin yan sa tao trough mind. sabihin natin kung hindi siya green, well bakit na pa papakinbggan nyan.ok, sabihin din natin, curious yung taong makikinig, syempre kung wala siyang alam na kalibugan, eh talagang wala siyang maiisip na masama bout diz..
August 29th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Simply lang yan, WAG NYO PAKINGGANG ANG SONG para hindi kayo maepekthuhan, diskarte nila sa buhay yan. wala akong makitang bastos unless bigyan ng ibang kahulugan, kung matino kang TAO hindi mo iisipan ng masama, pero kung BASTOS ka din malamang na meron nang kahulugan. Ang saya saya kaya ng music nya :D
