MUSIC LYF: RICO BLANCO & RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS TALK PACMAN

Warner Music Philippines recently sent its recording and management artist Rico Blanco to Hong Kong to attend the concert and press conference of global rock phenomenon Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Blanco's encounter with RHCP mainly focused on the music and - on a not-so-serious note - their mutual admiration for our Pambansang Kamao Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao!

When Blanco had his turn to meet and greet the four members of RHCP – lead vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith and new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer - the band asked Blanco if he's from the Philippines. The band went gaga when Blanco said yes because of two things: the news that a huge number of Filipinos that reportedly will fly to Hong Kong to attend the concert and Manny Pacquiao. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were reportedly real big fans of our beloved Pacman. The band even asked Blanco if he would know if Pacman would go to the concert.
