Lordivino Ignacio (born December 11, 1977), known professionally as Bassilyo, is


a Filipino rapper, singer and songwriter. The name Bassilyo is based on the
character Basilio, from the novel Noli Me Tangere. Bassilyo is also an occasional
actor.[3]
Career
[edit]
Bassilyo was part of the group Crazy as Pinoy, which appeared on Eat
Bulaga!'s Rappublic of the Philippines contest in 2002. Bassilyo credited FlipTop
Battle League for his comeback that he had gone viral again through three rap
battles.[4] Bassilyo became best known for the single "Lord, Patawad" (lit. "Lord,
Forgive Me") in 2014, whose lyrics were derived from his early life and observations
of his surroundings;[1] Bassilyo later admitted in an interview that he spent time in
prison for undisclosed reasons, as well as having been addicted to gambling, both of
which served as inspiration for the song. [5]
