MANILA — Far Eastern University (FEU) has teamed up with alumnus and Filipino rap icon Gloc-9 for “Dito Sa Amin,” the official soundtrack of UAAP Season 89.
Rooted in this season’s powerful rallying cry, #ForEveryoneUAAP, "Dito Sa Amin," which is out now on digital music platforms, is a narrative-driven anthem that champions unity, resilience, and the grit of the student-athlete.
Moving away from traditional, purely competitive fight songs, the collaboration uses Gloc-9’s signature storytelling to remind fans that beyond the rivalries, the UAAP is a shared home for everyone. With lyrics like "Saan man nanggaling, ay laging kasali ka" and "Lahat abot mo na," the track aims to bring hope and excitement across all universities.
For the "Makata sa Pinas," the project was an opportunity to write something that resonates far beyond the field and the hardcourt. Known for his grounded, socially conscious, and authentic voice, Gloc-9 crafted a track that speaks directly to the perseverance of the youth.
“Sabi nga natin sa kanta, 'mas magara kung magkasama.' Napakalaking karangalan para sa akin na makipagtulungan sa FEU para sa awiting ito,” Gloc-9 said in a press release.
“Yung kanta, isinulat natin para sa bawat atleta at bawat tao na patuloy na lumalaban, hirap at pawis ang puhunan. The theme #ForEveryoneUAAP is a beautiful reminder na kahit ano pang kulay ng suot mo, pare-pareho tayong may pangarap, at dito sa bayan natin, walang iwanan. Excited na akong magsimula ang Season 89 at makita ang tapang ng bawat isa,” he added.
FEU said its an honor to do this collaboration with Gloc-9.
“Partnering with a true music icon and FEU honorary alumnus like Gloc-9 is a significant moment for us. He has a distinct ability to articulate the Filipino spirit and the energy we want to bring to #ForEveryoneUAAP. ‘Dito Sa Amin’ captures the inclusive, fighting spirit of the UAAP. As we build excitement and count down to the Season 89 opening on September 12, this anthem is our call to the entire community to stand united and always Be Brave,” Rowena Capulong Reyes, FEU's vice president for corporate affairs, said.
