The APO Hiking Society, the popular musical group of Danny Javier, Boboy Garovillo and Jim Paredes has made 22 record albums; hosted several television shows including their own noontime Sunday show "Sa Linggo nAPO Sila" and noontime daily show (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.
During the span of their career, Apo has been one of the primary adherents to the Original Pilipino Music or OPM music movement and has made several contributions for the said movement.The Apo is also involved in record production, talent management and even organizing artists under the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM). The group is also instrumental in establishing careers of new artists in the Philippines.(wikipedia)
In 1981, the trio shared top billings with rising teen stars Dina Bonnevie and Alfie Anido in a musical-comedy movie directed by Joey Gosiengfiao titled "Blue Jeans." One rarely seen them in movies.Watch them in some hilarious comedy scenes and seeing them doing memorable musical hit numbers, including the theme song of the movie is a triple treat.

I am Patty and I was actually once featured on this blog... regarding this little entry I made about your video store.
Anyway, I am looking for a gift for a good friend of mine who's a fan of everything movies and such. I was just wondering where you got all those old posters?
And I'm aware that you sell some DVDs there as well as I was able to buy a copy of Cinema Paradiso and A Clockwork Orange there... Do you sell DVDs of old Filipino movies? As in the really old classic ones? If yes, please reply. Thank you! :)
Auggie, only Boboy and Danny--- Boboy had a bigger role in the movie than Danny; Also,the two were in the cast of "Kung Mangarap Ka't Magising," another Mike de Leon film.
i watched "kakabakaba..." a few times on cinema one--i think i also saw jim paredes there, pero it was a very brief non-speaking role...he was the conductor of the orchestra at the very end of the film...hindi nga lang din siya na-close-up doon but i could tell it was him...
During the interview with Bibeth Orteza and Boy Gatus, they said the Apo was the very first choice to lead the casts of "ISKUL BUKOL". However, the talent fees of these Atenean trio was already astronomical then because of their popularity so Gatus, the producer of Iskul Bukol, settled for the up and coming Discorama hosts Tito, Vic, & Joey. And the rest, as always said, is history.
Bibeth did not mention though who will portray Ongasis and Escalera Brothers.
