OPM MONDAY : APO HIKING SOCIETY

Have you watched SOP yesterday? They paid tribute to Philippine's legendary OPM trio~ APO Hiking Society. This inspire me to have them in my OPM entry this monday.
The Apolinario Mabini Hiking Society, later popularly known as Apo Hiking Society or, simply, Apo, is a Filipino musical group. The group had its fledgling beginnings in 1969 at the the Ateneo de Manila high school, comprised of 13 members: Lito de Joya, Sonny Santiago, Gus Cosio, Renato Garcia, Chito Kintanar, Kenny Barton, Bruce Brown, Butch Dans, Kinjo Sawada, Ric Segreto, Goff Macaraeg, Doden Besa, Jim Paredes, and Boboy Garrovillo.
In 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 in which their original musical contributions and cultural influence became essential.
In 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. Last December 16, 2009, the APO Hiking Society announced that they are already retiring as a group due to "diminishing creative process." They will be performing series of shows that will start on February 14, 2010 and will end on May, just in time for the elections.
