We have seen a sudden influx of resurgence of action movies in the current landscape of Philippine movies since earlier this decade.

Two months prior to staging, I attended a press conference of this concert. It was the third staging of the famous triumvirate in recent memory of the local music scene.

It's no secret that there are bands that sounded better when they are playing live than hearing through their own canned product, and one of this so-called half-fortunate/half-unfortuante bunch is the pop band known as Rob & The Hitmen.
