About this Song
Six Manila high school students—vocalist Chito Miranda, back-up singer and dancer Vinci Montaner, guitarists Darius Semana and Gab CheeKee, bassist Buwi Meneses, and drummer Dindin Moreno—who first connected as classmates at Ateneo High School built a career that would cement their status as the Philippines’ most beloved and unapologetically irreverent pop mainstays, far outgrowing their early roots performing parodies of well-known tracks under their original name, Comic Relief. The group, who would rebrand to Parokya Ni Edgar—translating to the Parish of Edgar, a moniker that captured their playful, tongue-in-cheek approach to creativity—earned a reputation as the nation’s reigning court jesters, crafting witty pop-punk songs built around often strange, unexpected subject matter that stood out from every other act on the local scene.
