[6] Initially, Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard Chan wanted Ez Mil to be declared as soggetto né grata but withdrew such plans and proposed the city council to pass the resolution urging the rapper to revise his song's lyrics instead.[7]
As a musician, Ez Mil isn’t obligated to give his listeners history lessons. But nonchalantly taking artistic liberties with historical fact just to get attention is a terrible look website for a young, up-and-coming rapper.
An example of toxic positivity is that family member or friend who doesn’t really listen to you when you’re upset, because you should just “be happy” or “have a positive outlook no matter what”.
The city council of Lapu-Lapu proposed a resolution condemning the lyrics of "Panalo" which it viewed as "historically inaccurate, if not demeaning to our National Hero".
