The quartet stages a mini concert, performing seven of their most iconic hits
MANILA, Philippines – Eraserheads officially kicked off Season 87 of the UAAP at the Araneta Coliseum on Saturday, September 7. The OPM band treated the opening ceremony’s crowd to a performance of their most iconic songs.
Eraserheads members Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Raymund Marasigan, and Marcus Adoro are alums of season host University of the Philippines (UP). Fresh off their acceptance of the UP Gawad Oblation Medal — the university’s highest honor — it was only right that the “Ang Huling El Bimbo” hitmakers take the big dome stage to formally open the new UAAP season.
The quartet showed yet again why they’re considered one of the country’s most legendary bands. They staged somewhat of a mini concert, performing a total of seven songs: “Alapaap,” “Sembreak,” “Ligaya,” “Pare Ko,” “Minsan,” “Magasin,” and “Ang Huling El Bimbo.”
Throughout their entire set, loud cheers erupted from the young crowd of athletes and fans present at the opening ceremony — many of them singing along the entire time.
