Sound of Ikon: Ikon Solutions and Kumu Celebrate OFWs with First-Ever Jingle

Manila, Philippines - April 29, 2025 - After an exciting competition that showcased the creativity and passion of Filipino artists, Joelo De Castro emerged as the winner with his uplifting entry, “I Can.” His composition perfectly encapsulates Ikon’s mission of helping Filipinos secure the best jobs abroad while supporting their families. The jingle resonates with themes of hope, perseverance, and community—empowering values that define the OFW experience. With this anthem, our modern-day Filipino heroes are reminded that they can make their dreams come true. 

The Sound of Ikon competition, launched by Ikon Solutions and Kumu, provided a platform for Filipino creatives to create an original song that embodies the essence of “The Power of People.” As the grand prize winner, De Castro received ₱50,000 in cash prize and the incredible opportunity to professionally record the track.

The first-ever Ikon Solutions jingle “I Can” is now available on Ikon Solutions’ social media pages where it continues to inspire and uplift OFWs and their families worldwide. This initiative reinforces Ikon’s unwavering commitment to empowering Filipinos with global career opportunities, while fostering deep appreciation for the invaluable contributions of the OFW community.

“I Can” by Joelo De Castro 

Lyrics;
Madami nang naging balakid
Pangarap mo’y di marating
Ngunit narito ka at lumalaban
Dahil sa lakas mo na kinakapitan

CHORUS
Narito kami sasamahan ka
Mga pangarap mo abot mo na
Life will be easy, sasabayan kita
Masasabi mo’ng “I can”
Kasi kaya mo na

Kasama ang “Ikon” the power of people
Hindi na tutumba basta kasama kita
Kasama ang “Ikon” the power of people
Mga pangarap mo maaabot mo na
Kasama ang “Ikon!”

Kaming bahala sa’yo
Lilibutin natin ang mundo
Magtiwala ka lang
Sagot na namin toh!

[CHORUS – Repeat]

Kasama ang “Ikon” the power of people
Hindi na tutumba basta kasama kita
Kasama ang “Ikon” the power of people
Mga pangarap mo maaabot mo na

IKON!

English Translation:
There have been many obstacles,
Your dreams felt out of reach.
But here you are, still fighting,
Holding on to your strength.

CHORUS
We are here to walk with you,
Your dreams are now within your grasp.
Life will be easy, we’ll be by your side,
You’ll say, “I can,”
Because now you can!

With Ikon – The Power of People!
You won’t fall as long as we’re with you.
With Ikon – The Power of People!
Your dreams are now within reach,
With Ikon!

We’ve got you covered,
Together, we’ll explore the world.
Just trust us,
We’ve got this for you!

[CHORUS – Repeat]

With Ikon – The Power of People!
You won’t fall as long as we’re with you.
With Ikon – The Power of People!
Your dreams are now within reach,

IKON!
