"Himig ng Pag-ibig" Included in a Robin Padilla-Ruffa Mae Starrer!!!

A song from the upcoming album of Hemp Republic has been included in Unitel Pictures Inc's Robin Padilla-Ruffa Mae starrer entitled "La Visa Loca" due out in MAY. The song submitted was Himig ng Pag-Ibig, and it made the final cut! Thanks to director Mike Meily for giving the final go signal. It was deemed appropriate by the Hemp Republic Management to be submitted because of the song’s universal theme, which is…L-O-V-E, although the film is not a love story.

The upcoming film is a comedy, in line with Unitel’s previously successful “Crying Ladies”, a Sharon Cuneta starrer (who is also the executive producer of the film) which raked in a lot in the box office. The soundtrack in itself is something to look forward to, especially for reggae enthusiasts since most, if not all the songs to be included are reggae--Filipino style, according to our sources. The song is also included in Hemp Republic's album "Welcome to Hemp Republic."


This is something to watch out for!
