As of writing, Perpektong Tao has secured a spot in the Top 3 on iTunes Philippines. The song’s emotional depth has sparked conversations online, with netizens praising its rawness.
The release comes after a highly publicized controversy involving Maris and her Incognito co-star, Anthony Jennings. Last December, Anthony’s ex-girlfriend accused the pair of infidelity, leading to public scrutiny.
In response, Maris apologized and took a break from social media. Anthony also released a brief statement expressing remorse for the situation. Despite the backlash, the two made their first public appearance together in January to promote their Netflix series Incognito.
Maris frames Perpektong Tao as a way to process and share her healing journey. In her X post, she wrote, “This song is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can find light.”
Fans have resonated with her openness. Positive comments flood the music video, with many expressing admiration for her talent and courage.
Maris remains focused on her artistry, saying in an earlier statement, “What you saw was not a perfect human. I’m far from being perfect. What you saw was a human being.”
With Perpektong Tao gaining traction, Maris proves her resilience. The song not only marks her return but also showcases her growth as an artist.
Listen to “Perpektong Tao” now on your favorite streaming platforms.
