Excerpt
Universal Records has distanced itself from the controversial China-Philippines “friendship song,” “Iisang Dagat,” stressing that it had no participation in the “production and promotion” of the said project. The record label received flak online from netizens, who noticed that the company was among the entities given special thanks in the song’s music video description. “Dagat” was posted on the YouTube page of the Filipino-Chinese lifestyle magazine show “Chinatown TV,” which coproduced the song together with the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines and the Guizhou Xinpai Media Company.
