Chito Miranda: Nung nagsisimula pa lang kami bilang banda, di kami binabayaran para tumugtog.

Like most bands sa underground/indie music scene nung time na yun, wala kaming talent fee.

Masaya na kami basta makatugtog kung saan saan, kahit walang bayad.

Sa katunayan, abonado pa nga kami kasi sagot namin ang pamasahe namin papuntang gigs (or sagot ni Dindin yung gas kasi may kotse sya hehe), at sagot din namin yung pagkain at drinks namin kung saan man kami tutugtog.

We did that for years.

The 1st time we got paid was at Club Dredd. Naimbitahan kami bilang front act, and we agreed to play for free as usual, but after playing, the owner (Patrick Reidenbach) decided to pay us P300.

I guess natuwa sya sa amin.

Either that, or naawa lang talaga sya. Kasi ang sabi nya sa amin, "gamitin ninyo yan pang-practice".

P300 meant 3 hours na practice time sa Alberto's Band Rehearsal Studio.

After a few more months, we got paid again.

This time we got P800.

And this was during the so-called "Golden Age" of Pinoy Bands nung 90's.

We weren't earning at all but we couldn't care less. We had no money to buy our own instruments, but we kept on playing. We had no intentions of quitting school (or in Dar's case: his day job), and hindi namin inisip na kelangan kumita kami sa pagbabanda.

We did it simply because it was fun.

1996 nung naglabas kami ng album. 1997 na nung unang nakabili ng sariling gitara si Gab worth P6000.

Can you imagine? 4 years na kaming tumutugtog, at 1 year na kaming may album, bago kami mabayaran ng enough money para maka-afford ng sariling gitara si Gab.

Si Gloc nga dati, nakakadalawang album na, pero nagtatrabaho pa rin sya bilang waiter. Pero di sya sumuko. He focused on what he wanted to achieve and worked hard for it. (ngayon kaya na nya bilin yung restaurant. hehe!)

Ganun kasi talaga yun. Kelangan mo paghirapan.

Kung mataas ang pangarap mo, then you need to work harder than everyone else...kasi kung ganun lang kadali yun, then everyone else would be doing it.

Ganun din sa pagiging OFW, sa simula malungkot, sa simula maliit ang sahod. Pag di ka magtitiis or di ka mageenrol sa Filipino Institute di tatas ang sahod mo.

Enroll na sa Filipino Institute at gawin mo kaming partner sa iyung pagasenso at pagtupad sa mga pangarao mo sa buhay.

Kaya ko, kayo mo, kaya natin to’!

Whatever they say, you still did great! You stepped up when no one else did. Don't feel bad.

You're still our Josep!

Shame on the talangka's!

Our Hearts are broken 💔💔💔💔💔 Today, December 23, 2023, our dearly beloved Samboy passed away peacefully.

A man of Faith, exceptional courage, humility and grace. He embodied the very best of humanity. The Skywalker was 61.

During his final moments at the Medical City, he was tenderly cared for by Lelen, Jamie, Johannes, sister Malou, nephews AP, Alby & wife Kates, best friends: Allan Caidic & Robert Evangelista.

His loved ones abroad: sister Ate Coy - Maricor, Dan, and niece, Danielle together with Jun Zarate, Coach Larry Albano bade Samboy goodbye via online chat. Lelen’s siblings: Gigi, Dixon, family and friends: Manang Marilyn, Tino Pinat, Jimmy Go were also able to bid him farewell.

Father Franklin Beltran (former Letran Chaplain) was able to administer the Last Rites Extreme Unction.

We thank Samboy’s amazing team of doctors headed by Dr. Luigi Segundo, physical therapists, nurses, caregivers, family and friends who, for the last 9 years, took excellent care of him.

Please pray for Samboy. He needs our prayers as we commend his soul to the loving arms of our Lord God. Please have mercy on Samboy and grant him everlasting peace. Amen

Heaven gained an angel just in time for Christmas. We love you Samboy, thank you for loving all of us unconditionally … no more pain nor suffering! Goodbye for now …… you will be in our hearts forever ❤️♥️❤️♥️
