6. Apo Hiking Society
GIn the span of their professional career, Apo emerged as a principal adherent of
the musical movement termed Original Pilipino Music (a.k.a. OPM), a milieu(a
person's social environment.) in which their original musical contributions and
cultural influence became essential.
GThe Apo became involved in record production, talent management and organizing
artists under the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (O.P.M., acronym
translation: "Organization of Philippine Singers/musicians").
GThe group expanded its activities into establishing and furthering the careers of
new OPM artists in the Philippines.
GThe group has released 27 albums in four decades of its career.

7. Apo Hiking Society
GTwo hugely successful tribute albums were produced in 2006
and 2007 by its management group, featuring numerous
young bands freshly reinterpreting Apo's expansive repertoire.
GThe group frequently utilized their brand name, "Apo," as a
clever component for Tagalog puns in titles for television
shows, live programs and marketing materials (for example, as
in nA PO, which transliterates as "already" (polite/formal
usage), and also as apó (meaning, "grandchild"). The puns
have been minimally extended into English, as in
(APOcalyptic).

8. Apo Hiking Society
History
GThe Name "Apolinario Mabini Hiking Society" is actually a play
on words: since Apolinario Mabini was paralyzed, it is ironic to
put "Hiking Society" next to his name.
GThe Apo Hiking Society first gained recognition in 1973 when
they gave a farewell concert at the Meralco Theater in Pasig
City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Just out of college, the group
was the talk of the Ateneo de Manila University and adjoining
campuses for their music and humor.

9. Apo Hiking Society
History
GIt was only when two of its four members were about to retire
from the field of amateur music, however, that the APO, then
known as the Apolinario Mabini Hiking Society, finally had a
city-wide audience. One of them was scheduled to leave for
Turkey as an exchange student. The other had a position
waiting for him in his father's advertising firm.
GWhy a talented young man of 21 would want to go to Turkey,
every young man in the early 1970s would probably
understand. But what the APO could not understand was their
fourth member's decision to leave the irresponsibility of being
unemployed to join the ranks of the corporate world.

10. Apo Hiking Society
History
GThe trip to Turkey did not materialize and the APO, now a
tentative trio, pushed on steadily towards fame and fortune.
GLooking back, the APO members Danny Javier, Boboy
Garrovillo, and Jim Paredes do not regret never having been
regular wage earners. Their farewell concert, which had SRO
audiences for two stormy nights, not unexpectedly became a
hit record the following year.

11. Apo Hiking Society
Achievements
GIn the three decades since that "farewell" concert, the APO
has made 22 record albums; hosted several television shows
including their own noontime Sunday show "Sa Linggo nAPO
Sila" and noontime show from Monday to Saturday "'Sang
Linggo nAPO Sila"; and launched hugely successful major solo
concerts and countless provincial, dinner, and corporate
shows. They have performed in over 50 cities in the United
States, in Canada, Singapore, Indonesia, Germany, Switzerland,
Italy and Japan to bring Original Pilipino Music to Filipinos the
world over.

12. Apo Hiking Society
Achievements
GIn 1998, Legendary OPM group APO and defunct band
Eraserheads teamed up for their first "San Miguel Beer" TV
commercial "Homeboys." The concept of reviving and
modernizing their originals by rock/alternative bands in the
1990s paved the way to two tribute albums by various bands
entitled Kami nAPO Muna in 2006 and Kami nAPO Muna Ulit
in 2007.
GIn 2007, the group was awarded as "MYX Magna Award 2007"
in the MYX Music Awards 2007 achieving the best of opm pop
music and also has an achievements in music and recording in
the OPM history.

54. Early life
•
Villame was the youngest among ten children of a
fisherman father and fishseller mother. He started
composing songs for the Boy Scouts in his elementary
days.
•
Dropping out after his second year in high school,
Villame enlisted to become a soldier-trainee of the
Philippine Army. Being unhappy in his post in Pampanga,
he asked for a discharge after the surrender of rebel
leader Luis Taruc. Villame would become a passenger
jeepney driver plying the Baclaran-Pasay Taft-Santa CruzDimasalang route.
•
During the ten years of driving jeeps, he would
compete in amateur nights held at Plaza Miranda in
Quiapo but only to lose because of his strong Visayan
accent.

55. Notable Works
•
Villame blended Filipino folk melodies, popular
tunes and nursery rhymes for his music and then added
witty lyrics that mixed Tagalog, Cebuano and English in a
form of grammar that he concocted. He became a national
figure in 1977 with his near anthemic "Mag-exercise Tayo",
which has been adopted by government agencies and
public schools as the official music for their Monday
morning exercise after the flag ceremony.
•
His most popular song was "Butse Kik", a song
written from made-up Chinese-sounding words which
Villame allegedly came up with by writing down the names
of Chinese stores while waiting for a mechanic to fix his
broken-down jeepney in Manila's Chinatown; it borrowed
from the tune of Dee Dee Sharp's "Baby Cakes", a 1962
hit.

• Magalona was the eighth of the nine children of actors Pancho
Magalona and Tita Duran, popular film stars of the 1940s and
1950s. His grandfather, Enrique B. Magalona, was a politician and
served as a Senator of the Philippines from 1946 to 1949 and from
1949 to 1955. He graduated from High School at the Don Bosco
Technical College in Mandaluyong City from 1978 to 1981 and
studied at the San Beda College in Manila from 1981-1984.
• Magalona started out as a breakdancer in the 1980s. He was cast in
several Filipino movies including Bagets 2. He was the resident
DJ/rapper in the IBC-13 variety show Loveli'Ness.
• Magalona was introduced by co-actor Richard Gomez to Pia Arroyo
at a party in a disco owned by film director Marilou Diaz -Abaya and
her husband, cinematographer, Manolo Abaya Ishmael Bernal,[6]
and the couple got married in 1985. The couple had eight children,

60. Music career
• Filipino hip hop and nationalistic rap
• In 1990, he released the album Yo!, the first commercially released
Filipino rap album. Yo! included several popular singles such as "Mga
Kababayan" (Fellow Countrymen), "Gotta Let 'Cha Know", "Cold
Summer Nights", and a duet with Pia Arroyo "Loving You Baby". With
tracks that featured politically conscious and thought-provoking rhymes
in both English and Tagalog, Yo! was a big success and helped catapult
Filipino hip hop from underground to mainstream status. It also marked
the birth of Makabayang (nationalistic) rap in Filipino hip hop.
• In 1992, Francis Magalona released Rap Is FrancisM (1992). With tracks
addressing the various cultural and social problems that plagued his
country such as drug addiction in "Mga Praning" (Paranoids), political
instability in "Halalan" (Elections) as well as the detrimental effects of a
colonial mentality in "Tayo'y Mga Pinoy" (We Are Filipinos), the record's
complexity and conscious message quickly earned it its classic status
and became the standard by which future albums of the genre were to
be compared. This album helped tag Magalona as one of the most
politically conscious voices of his generation.
