An online rap battle had thousands of netizens caught up in the exchange of hand hygiene rhymes to the tune of sick beats between Safeguard and Fred D’ Germ.
Aiming to shut down Fred D’ Germ, Safeguard tapped some of the country’s top rappers to help promote proper handwashing habits.
Loonie, Ron Henley and Shehyee were more than willing to lend their flow and bars to Safeguard. Fred D’ Germ, meanwhile, influenced Shanti Dope to rap for his agenda.
With stars like Gloc-9 as judge, host Luis Manzano and co-hosted by Rufa Mae Quinto and Mimiyuuuh, The Raprapan sa Global Handwashing Day between Safeguard and Fred D’ Germ was livestreamed simultaneously on Gloc-9’s, Fred D’ Germ’s and Safeguard Philippines’ Facebook pages.
Shanti from team Fred D’ Germ opened the rap battle with steaming hot lines, but Loonie, Ron and Shehyee aren’t the best for nothing and gave back piping hot bars for Round 1.
Th tide turned in Round 2, and odds were seemingly in team Safeguard’s favor.
The comment section during Round 3 was wild. Team Safeguard was fast in their delivery, though they made it clear that fighting germs shouldn’t be rushed.
When both teams were done in Round 4, majority of the comments rooted for team Safeguard.
Bursting with excitement, Gloc-9 announced Safeguard as the winner of The Rap-rapan sa Global Handwashing Day.
“Hindi dapat mabilisan lang, wisik, punas lang, may tamang paraan. Doon talaga nagkatalo — sa paggamit ng Safeguard.
Kaya walang binatbat si Fred D’ Germ.” Even Shanti Dope admitted that the Safeguard team made good points and he has changed his mind to practice Safe Wash.
To effectively get rid of illness-causing bacteria, Safeguard advises Filipinos to follow these simple tips when washing their hands:
Wet your hands using clean water. Lather the front and back of both hands, between fingers and under your fingernails with Safeguard liquid soap for at least 20 seconds. More germs are removed the longer you scrub. Once done scrubbing, rinse hands under clean, running water. Dry hands completely with a clean towel.
Safeguard believes that with every Filipino sharing proper hand hygiene tips, Safe Wash is s good way to stop the spread of bacteria and viruses.
