Last Valentine's NAPO Nila

a sad but fulfilled ending to the careers of our favorite OPM trio, Jim, Boboy and Danny, otherwise known as the APO Hiking Society, is set to stage at the SMX Convention Center with Last Valentines NAPO Nila concert on February 13 2010. the three have decided to give the last curtain call and part ways.

the trio have given us legendary OPM songs such as Batang Bata Ka Pa, Kabilugan ng Buwan, Di Na Natuto, Awit ng Barkada and Pumapatak Na Naman Ang Ulan, making a mark on the local music scene as our parents and/or grandparents grew up on. for APO-virgins, people who haven't watched an APO concert, this is one event you surely don't want to miss.

K Brosas also stands with the trio giving a light mood in this event. a big privilege for her to sing and dance with APO who has also influenced her in music. it's like dancing with her father kind of way.

this valentine concert will be the first in the series of concerts before the last curtain call which is on planning stage. sad but true, the three have prepared themselves to end doing music together last year. a lot of things will be missed but they never had regrets giving good contribution and influence to the Filipino people.

Tickets are available at all Ticketnet office. Call 911-5555 or 20plus, Inc. hotline at 753-1609 loc. 116 or at Star Express PLDT hotline at 334-9272 add 02 for Globe and SMART subscribers. Catch them while you still can!
