The ‘Binibini’ hitmaker defends his JeoLee-inspired track ‘Tsaka Nalang’ and tells a basher to support all OPM artists instead of pitting them against each other
ZACK TABUDLO (November 4, 2026) – The singer-songwriter did not let a basher have the last word after he was accused of riding on the popularity of “Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0” housemates Gehlee Dangca and Jeo Ong to stay relevant.
A netizen on X claimed that Zack was only after attention because other OPM acts, including Cup of Joe and Maki, had supposedly overshadowed him. Zack replied directly.
“broo why cant yall just support ALL artists in general! also, you’re doing too much,” Zack wrote.
“i made a song kasi nakakakilig and nakakatuwa naman talaga sila HAHAHA,” he added, explaining that he wrote the song simply because he found the pair sweet and fun to watch.
He then turned the question back on his critic. “were all out here making music trying to champion OPM and the PH. ikaw ano ambag mo? its almost 2027 cut the negativity,” Zack said.
The exchange came right after Zack teased a song inspired by Gehlee and Jeo, whose budding tandem inside Bahay ni Kuya has been dubbed “JeoLee” by fans.
“I keep watching ‘PBB,’ I was able to make a song,” Zack said in Filipino on Instagram.
The track, titled “Tsaka Nalang,” is a Tagalog pop song with electronic touches, with lyrics about being there for someone, feeling kilig and wanting to admit one’s feelings. His snippet trended on X, prompting him to promise the full version.
“Due to popular demand, I finished the whole song just now. Can’t wait for everyone to hear it soooon!” Zack said in his Instagram Stories.
Zack, known for “Binibini,” “Give Me Your Forever” and “Nangangamba,” was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list in May. He signed with US label Mercury Records in 2025 and released his latest single, “Isang Tulad Mo,” in October.
