4. Chicosci and Parokya ni Edgar reawakening our teenage selves
Everyone was thinking and waiting for it, but the night had gone on for too long that people were actually wondering when it would happen. An OPM festival wouldn’t be complete without an Eraserheads song, but finally Chicosci decided to perform a tribute to the OPM band that made puberty a more fun in the Philippines. As Miguel Chavez sang, “Nakita kita sa isang magasin,” the crown went wild and the trip down memory lane officially began.
Parokya ni Edgar also helped in fueled the nostalgia more as they performed Buloy.
3. Gary V. making everyone doubt that he’s 51
Seriously, the guy probably injected 20 cups of black coffee into his system before going onstage.
2. Abra’s disappearing act during Bagsakan
It was epic enough that Parokya ni Edgar, Gloc9 and Abra performed Bagsakan, but Abra had to take “bagsakan” in the most literal sense when he fell from the stage ala James Reid. Good thing he was fine and even continued the performance. To worrying fans, nothing happened to his face (thankfully).
1. Everything about Andrew E.’s performance
The crowd went into a frenzy when legendary rapper Andrew E. finally graced the stage with his classic songs. Of course, Humanap Ka Ng Panget had to be on his set list! His comedic prowess made us wish he stayed much longer. From a noise contest between the left and right side of the audience, acting cool with his mic stand but failing because the mic fell, shouting “Hindi pa bayad ‘to!!” when the audience asked for his jacket, Andrew E. turned the night around. His set was also the only time that no phones were up in the air–only hands pumping up and down as everyone rapped along with his iconic songs.
