About this Song
The pop recording "Mano Po Ninong (Filler)" from the Philippines is credited to an artist known for their witty pop-punk songs and often strange subject matter. This artist, formed in Ateneo High School in Manila, Philippines, began as a group of six students: vocalist Chito Miranda, back-up singer and dancer Vinci Montaner, guitarists Darius Semana and Gab CheeKee, bassist Buwi Meneses, and drummer Dindin Moreno. Originally named Comic Relief, the group initially focused on performing parodies of well-known songs. Their musical journey led them to perform at Club Dredd, a prominent venue for alternative music in Manila, starting in 1994. There, their distinctive oddball outfits and goofy stage antics quickly garnered them a local following. The group's irreverent approach, which included taking melodies from artists like The Clash and Bob Dylan and setting them to humorous Tagalog lyrics, resonated with both mainstream audiences and their underground fan base.
