It has been ten years ago since the hit song "DOTA O Ako?" encourage many Filipino women to standily and angrily ask their lovers between the longtime popular multiplayer battle arena game DOTA or their relationship. Now, in celebration of the song's tenth year anniversary and in time for the worldwide release of DOTA: Dragon's Blood, global streaming service Netflix invites every Filipino to witness the sequel and eventually discover the answer to the question that has been literally hanging over the cliffs for years.
The music video entitled "DOTA At Ako" features Aikee and Vanessa ten years after their appearance in "DOTA O Ako?" taking their relationship and even their relationship with DOTA to a whole new level. Staying true to the iconic original music video, the sequel sports an all-new song done in cheesy, Filipino videoke style which will have every DOTA fan singing along. Upon the release of the said song and music video, the duo shares more of their thoughts about it. "To be honest, I can’t even imagine that my song 10 years ago ay magkakaroon ng sequel at hindi lang basta sequel bagkus sequel ito with Netflix,” says Aikee. “Kaya sobrang saya po ng puso ko dahil nabigyan ulit ng chance ang awiting tumatak sa tao isang dekada na ang nakalipas.” “I was so excited in general to be working with Aikee again cause it has really been a long time since our collaboration — 10 years ago to be exact. We’ve gotten so busy individually with our careers so it was definitely time to catch up and reminisce in a super memorable and major way!” adds Vanessa. “So when I got the call to do a remake I immediately canceled my schedule and confirmed! I knew I was gonna do it! I had to do it for sure! And especially ecstatic to do the sequel with Netflix because I am OBSESSED!”
When asked about what they’re most excited for DOTA fans to see, Aikee shares, “Sa song kasi ng ‘DOTA o Ako,’ hindi nasagot kung ano nga ba ang pinili ko. Dito kasi ay masasagot ko na ang tanong na nakalutang ng sampung taon. At gusto kong makita nila kung paano ako lumipad, hahaha!” “I’m really most excited for them to see the ending, who we ended up with in the music video,” continues Vanessa. “And I’m especially excited for them to see the outcome because we had an AWESOME TEAM that helped remake this video and take it to that ultimate next level!” Vanessa also hopes that DOTA fans love the sequel and the Netflix Original Anime series, saying, “Please watch our ‘DOTA o Ako’ sequel! Because it’s genuinely for the fans who really loved the song and continue to support and listen to it for 10 years now. I can’t even believe it’s been that long! So this is our thank you to everyone who supported us and definitely watch the Netflix series because for sure all you DOTA fans will love it!”
Speaking of DOTA, DOTA: Dragon's Blood is now available for streaming on Netflix in various languages, including a surprisingly intriguing Tagalog dubbed version. The fantasy anime series based on the popular online multiplayer game tells the story of Davion, a renowned Dragon Knight devoted to wiping the scourge from the face of the world. Following encounters with a powerful, ancient eldwurm as well as the noble Princess Mirana on a secret mission of her own, Davion becomes embroiled in events much larger than he could have ever imagined.
