Jim Paredes’ secret to being at his best every day

Fans and critics alike celebrated the film “I Do Bidoo”, a movie musical that featured some of the classic OPM hits of the Apo Hiking Society. The response of the audience to the film and to the Apo’s music proved that the musical trio’s legacy is timeless. Moviegoers, both young and old, enjoyed the Apo’s music even in today’s era of hip hop and Korean Pop. 

Even though the Apo Hiking Society formally announced their retirement in 2009—and made a final series of concerts the following year—their music remains as fresh and relevant as ever: expressing Filipino romance, optimism, and light-heartedness as beautifully today as when their music first took to the airwaves. 

MUSIC LYF: Sarah Geronimo - Pure OPM Classics (Album and Listening Session)

It has been a long time since we heard Sarah Geronimo launching a new album despite an unceasing career in showbiz. With a lot of endorsements that prove her status as a trustworthy brand representative, plus also having a lot of concerts, movies and even her own show for herself. Indeed Sarah is a gem for Viva who handled her since her first year in showbiz.

It was great for us to visit Viva Records and their studio to see where the musical magic happens and for which many musical legends had graced and sung to record their timeless classics. Of course, the hottest artist on their line is Sarah Geronimo who also holds a lot of records and even a great following online. She actually holds the record for the longest trending topic in the Philippines which reached worldwide also. 

She is now on a roll again with a great album to be released this november under Viva records, PURE OPM CLASSICS. We will soon post a  listening room album review soon!
