The Eraserheads, Eraserheads, or E-Heads was one of the successful Pinoy rock bands of the 90’s. Dubbed as the “Beatles of the Philippines,” its original members were Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro. The band is one of the most successful, critically-acclaimed, and significant bands in the history of Original Pinoy Music.
The band released several different singles, albums, and EPs that reached with ther debut album UltraElectoroMagneticPop who gathered multi-platinum awards with their unforgetable hits songs like “Ligaya”, “Tindahan Ni Aling Nena”, and “Pare Ko” which became Sultans’ favorite band and songs around that time. It was followed by 10 times platinum album if I remember right “Circus” with their songs like bato, sembreak, alapaap, hey jay, insomya, minsan, with a smile, alkohol, wishing wells, kailan, magasin, sa wakas. me paningit pang punk zappa monologue.
The Eraserheads‘ tapes we had before certified hits are most often played in our cassette players in our boarding house. Sadly the Eraserheads disbanded when Ely Buendia left the band in mid-March 2002. He continuies his career with and the band also continues with different members.
The year 1990’s were the era of alternative bands in the Philippines. They were the one who captured the top hits during this time, from FM to Music Records together with rock music of foreign group and artist. I remember this was around the time every afternoon after our class that we were preparing our food for dinner together with Arvin, Arnel, Misael and me and later with Joseph too. Members of Sultans are living in one boarding house. While waiting for our rice to cook, we were sitting waiting in a long wooden chair listening to one FM station playing from slow rock to heavy metal music while we were banging our heads together.
It’s our routine every afternoon after class. Sometime it is our music while others were playing chess game with Arnel and sometimes while playing pusoy or poker game.
On my next post I will write about those Filipino bands who were popular during the 90s and their music that still captures our heart.
Did you know that before the sex scandals in cellphones, video, VCD and DVDs involving celebrities, politicians, students among many others, a favorite topic and frequently visited internet site in our Batch in College of Nursing has already made the scandal which could have resulted in the expulsion of almost half of batch 95 nursing graduating students?.
It happened almost a month before graduation. Since our batch was compose of six sections, we were cut in two sections. The sections A,B and C held class classes alternately for the week while the half sections D, E and F were doing their hospital duty. This was to accommodate the bulk of students who would have hospital exposures and classes.
So with this set up, there were tendencies of three sections taking the exam first and then the next three sections would do so in the next week. Even though the teachers and instructors were changing the set of questions, students who would take exam after the first batch already knew what were the types and set of questions to be asked. So the student who took the exam first would likely inform those who were still about to take it.
Until the system was spotted when there was leakage floating around the classroom, not only by a minor teacher but the terror school guidance councilor as well. We were asked one by one because it was handed by one person to another. And with all those interrogations and investigations done to be able to identify where it was originated, the president of the class and the batch number one a magna cumlaude student took the responsibility of it. So what could the school could do.
Wise move, I thought. It ended the issue and they still graduated with flying colors.
Most of us in Sultans used to be living outside Bacolod City. Our school Colegio de San Agustin just happened to be located in Bacolod City. This is the reason why we were close because most of us are living in one boarding house. It usually became our “tambayan” or hide out. When there’s free time, we’d be playing cards — “tong its” or “pusoy dos”. Sometime we’d also be playing chess. During our breaks in school and after school, our boarding house also was our meeting place when we are having night outs or parties.
In times like the lenten season, we’d usually go home to our respective town or city of origin were we are commemorating the season with our respective family since most of us are Catholic at that time. During that time, the use of SMS through cell phones are not yet a trend. Before the closing of the school we already have had set the time when we’d be going to meet again for our enrollment for the next opening of the class.
We had lots of unforgettable stories in the boarding house. I will post some of it hopefully in my next post
This is a circle of friends. It consists of twelve gentlemen who have meet in different situations and different time, place and moments. They were joined together as one bond. In many trials we always lend a helping hand. When someone would fall down, every one of us can change the frown into fun. We always share our dreams because everyone of us care for each other. Our friendship is gold and we give all the love that our hearts can hold.
