PRESS STATEMENT FROM ABS-CBN:

"In the most unexpected circumstances, rain brings people closer together. ABS-CBN proves to be the best companion during rainy days as it launches the newest Station ID 'Sukob Na.'

"Composed by Franco Mortiz and Alexeeb Flores, the same theme song was first used in 2002 and revived last year for the 2010 Ulan SID. This year, with the re-arrangement of Jimmy Antiporda, the song is given a fun and youthful spin with the voice of actress, host, endorser, fashion icon, and now full-fledged recording artist, Anne Curtis.

"'Sukob Na' aims to reflect that Filipinos can brighten their days despite the rainy season by enjoying each other's company, featuring the anchors of Umagang Kay Ganda; hosts of Showtime and Happy Yippee Yehey, the cast of Banana Split, Maria la del Barrio; My Binondo Girl, child wonder Xyriel Manabat from 100 Days to Heaven, top dramatic actress Bea Alonzo from Guns and Roses; Queen of all media Kris Aquino and Megastar Sharon Cuneta.
