Your truly with FHM Girls
Jed Montero and Mich Datuin
After the last beer was consumed and everyone was well
asleep in the wee hours of the morning, I kept on singing in my bed songs
belted out by Cholo Mallillin in Call of Nature’s reunion concert sponsored by
the Ateneo High School Batch 1987. The
event was another fellowship night to bring back batchmates in the loop and
hopefully seek the support of each other for the forthcoming hosting of the
Ateneo Alumni homecoming which is set on December 8, 2012. A flock of batchmates arrived and some other
walk in customers who were just looking for a good time even went on to have a
nice time at the Aruba Bar in metrowalk.
Call of Nature lead singer Cholo Mallillin
wowed the crowd
The fellowship event was a follow up of the very successful launch
at the Strumms bar in Makati last month and everyone who went was so happy to
see each other since some of the people who were there that night were batch mates
who I have not seen for 25 years! Reminiscing the past and happy times were the
topics trending that night and the fun was synonymous to the laughs heard.
Harana.ph singers show their wares
The program was simple with two groups entertaining the
crowd and two lovely gals having their pictures taken with most of our batch
mates. The group Harana.ph belted out
songs from the 80’s with much gusto as the four Haranistas brought back
memories of buttercup, wake me up before you gogo and other memorable music.
The crowd shows their appreciation
Simply the star of the night belonged to the Call of Nature
band led by batch mate Cholo Mallillin on Vocals and Aries Fonacier on guitars.
Other members of the band PJ Exconde, Dodge Exconde, Pat Gil and Emil Sitjar joined them while they
were in the Ateneo College and I distinctly remember waiting for their gig
during the Cervini Open house events. It
was a nostalgic moment as Cholo said, the band was still rusty after a 240
month lay-off and just one practice session.
Happy faces from my 4E classmates
Fortunately the group did not disappoint, Cholo’s vocal
prowess was still in effect considering the fact that he had undergone a throat
operation way back in the 90’s. His cool
rendition of the songs “My ever Changing Moods,” “Tuloy pa rin ako, ” “With or Without you” and
many more songs were one for the books.
At least we were all in one in saying that their band should definitely play in the homecoming. The night ended with a lot of happy faces
and I am now looking forward to the next batch fellowship night.
