Visual Playlist: Put Gian and Maki’s “GGV” moments on repeat with this gallery!
From opening up about the “multo” of their past relationships to bringing all the bright and bubbly “dilaw” energy to the studio, OPM favorites Gian Bernardino and Maki certainly hit all the right notes during their guest appearance on “Gandang Gabi Vice,” Sunday, November 1. And because one night of music, laughter, and friendship deserves an encore, we’ve rounded up some of their most memorable moments in this photo gallery.
In the episode, the singer-songwriters shared their friendship’s history, revealing Gian made the first move by sliding into Maki’s DMs, but it was actually Maki who suggested that they hang out again because he genuinely wanted to be friends. But even before they became close, they were already fans of each other’s music.
From Cup of Joe’s indie-pop and alternative hits like “Multo” and “Tingin” to Maki’s dreamy, feel-good tracks like “Dilaw” and “Saan,” these two have certainly found their distinct sounds. But did you know that before they became known for their soft, soulful tunes, they were actually little ‘biriteros’ with high vocal range? The two looked back on their childhood singing days.
The Gen Z hit makers also got real about their own experiences with love and heartbreak, with Maki opening up about the betrayal of an ex. He gave a little peek into what led to their split, saying the relationship fell apart because of an alleged third party he had been suspicious of all along. Maki used to get jealous of this particular person, only to have his worst fears confirmed when his ex eventually chose the other person instead.
Gian likewise disclosed the biggest relationship woe he had experienced, which, much like Maki’s story, involved being betrayed by someone he loved who suddenly left him hanging.
After exchanging stories about their past not-so-happily-ever-afters, Gian and Maki turned all that hugot into music by coming up with a song together with Vice Ganda, right on the spot, giving their impromptu collaboration the title “Kulang.”
The tea didn’t stop there. They saved the juiciest bits of revelations for last, as they left fans ‘shookt’ and, ehemm, ‘kilig’ with the secrets they spilled in the “Deep Truth” segment.
