In a “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” interview on Wednesday, July 24, Gloc-9 opened up about his friendship with Magalona and Andrew E, when asked about his relationship with fellow rappers in the industry.

“Noong wala akong tuition fee pang-nursing, kinakapalan ko mukha ko. Sabi ko, ‘Sir Kiks, pwede ba akong mangutang sa’yo?’ Sasabihin niya sa’kin, ‘Daan ka dito sa ‘[Eat] Bulaga,’ bigyan kita ng pera pang tuition mo,’” Gloc-9 recalled, referring to Magalona using his nickname. (When I didn’t have enough money for my tuition fee for nursing, I swallowed my pride.

I asked, “Sir Kiks, is it okay if I can borrow money from you?” He would tell me, “Come to “Eat Bulaga,” I will give you money for your tuition.”) The “Sirena” hitmaker pointed out that Magalona had “no strings attached,” and he made it a point to return the money to not break the late rapper’s trust. “Walang strings attached.

Siya ang nagsabi nito. ‘Ang pera kinikita. Ang kaibigan, mahirap.

’ I made it a point na ibalik ‘yun (There were no strings attached. He told me this, ‘You can earn money. You can’t earn friends.

’ I made it a point to return it),” he said. Another cherished moment that Gloc-9 had with Magal.
