OPM artists, including Chickoy Pura of The Jerks, Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala, both originally from Eraserheads, Bobby Balingit of The Wuds, and Cooky Chua of Color It Red performed “Rage.” They rendered an equally powerful video stitched with scenes depicting the current situation of our nation.

A part of the video's description read, “Now, more than two decades later, the resurgence of “Rage” is testament to both the timelessness of its message and the enduring relevance of its battle cry as music artists now come together to help in the fight to defend the democratic rights and liberties of a people and a nation under siege.”

Chickoy, the frontman of The Jerks who penned the song decades ago also sent out a message, saying, “Ito ang panahon ng pagkakaisa. Tayo ay haharap sa pinakamatinding hamon na susukat sa ating paninindigan at katatagan. 'Wag manahimik. Lumaban.”
