THE
talented all-men group Sabado Boys—composed of Jimmy
Bondoc, Paolo Santos, Luke Mijares, Top Suzara, DJ Myke
and Mike Chan—had a most memorable and memorably unique
performance when it did a sunset serenade at the Pearl
of the Pacific beachfront in Boracay, captivating the
hearts of locals and tourists—and, especially, the
talented MTV VJ Andi9 Manzano.
Dubbed
as ‘Boracay Sunset Serenade’, the boys—individually
already a veteran in the music scene—took their cue from
the waning sun to fill the breeze with romantic love
songs.
“We
entertained people for almost three hours and 20
minutes, in what was supposed to be a one-hour program,”
said Mike.
Top
added, “We had to stop, of course, when all of us began
feeling hunger pangs, but the audience was asking for
more.”
Andi9,
the new endorser of Ellips cologne, was delighted to
know that the Sabado Boys was also present during the
launch of three new additional scents: Allure, Tease and
Charm.
Andi9
and the boys had their first close encounter during the
shoot of the new Ellips commercial. In Boracay they
helped Andi9 out in giving posters and free cologne
samples, and also signing autographs and posing for
souvenir photos.
Sabado
Boys ended the exciting night of music with a thoroughly
involved game of beach volleyball with other Boracay
revelers.
Asked
what’s next for the group, the Sabado Boys shared its
excitement over a program that will air this April on
Studio 23 every Saturday afternoon.
“It will
be a serious music-talk show, with spoof fillers to
avoid dead air in between. The show is intended for
people who can appreciate music and our jokes,”
explained Top.
Paolo
added, “Since there are no script restrictions, it’s a
lot more exciting. We don’t even have idiot boards or
prompters, only bullet points.”
“The
show is a team production. We ourselves are doing the
lighting, coordination and production design, with the
help of our barkada editor, Nico Alcuaz,” said mouth
beat boxer DJ Myke.
Asked
about the competition within the group, Jimmy denied any
such issues and maintained that there’s real friendship
among them. “Our group was formed without casting, and
we don’t have to be told to act like friends, because we
really are,” said Jimmy.
He
continued, “In fact, our Saitai album cover is courtesy
of DJ Myke’s photographic skills, and the pictures
inside were shot by Top.” |
