Serviam Award - Fr. Salvatore Putzu of the Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko Foundation

Here’s my script for ERASERHEADS: The Reunion Concert The BEAT Special. It aired last September 1, QTV 11 of course, 10pm  . This segment took a few hours to complete. And I know kaya pa siyang mapaganda, kaso wala nang oras. Unexpected things happened. Enjoy our fruit of labor LOL. It’s just the audio part, I had no time to write video descriptions! It supposed to be a one body segment, kaso ginahan ako magsulat, so our Program Manager decided to make it a two body segment.

VO

MARCUS ADORO…

BUDDY ZABALA…

RAYMUND MARASIGAN…

AND ELY BUENDIA, 4 DIFFERENT SOULS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS…

THEY ARE THE ERASERHEADS, ONE OF THE GREATEST FILIPINO BANDS THAT THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!

/breaker

HULING EL BIMBO, FRUITCAKE, MAGASIN, PARE KO, TOYANG, ALAPAAP, WITH A SMILE, LIGAYA, TINDAHAN NI ALING NENA, PARA SA MASA AND MANY OTHERS WERE AMONG THE BAND’S MOST POPULAR SONGS.

EVERYBODY LOVED THE BAND WHICH WAS FORMED IN UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES, DILIMAN IN 1989!

FILE SOT (PREVIOUS FEATURES ON THEM BEFORE THEY DISBANDED>)

THEIR PHENOMENAL RISE TO STARDOM WAS UNPRECEDENTED BY ANY PINOY GROUP! THE WAY THAT THEIR FANS AND SUPPORTERS LOVE THEM IS SO INTENSE THAT THEY ARE DUBBED AS THE BEATLES OF THE PHILIPPINES!

THE BAND PRODUCED A TOTAL OF 13 CHART BREAKING ALBUMS, INCLUDING POP U! IN 1991, ULTRAELECTROMAGNETICPOP IN 1993 WHICH GOT 6 PLATINUM AWARDS AND CIRCUS IN 1994 WHICH RECEIVED QUINTUPLE PLATINUM AWARDS!

APART FROM THEIR TOP RATED ALBUMS, THE BAND IS ALSO KNOWN FOR THEIR OVERSEAS PERFORMANCES. THEY ALSO RECEIVED THE MOST COVETED MTV ASIA VIEWER’S CHOICE AWARD IN 1997.

BUT PERHAPS, ERASERHEADS’ GREATEST LEGACY IS NOT IN THE RECORD SALES, NOR IN THE SONGS THAT TOPPED THE CHARTS. IT IS IN THE WAY THEY CHANGED THE PHILIPPINE MUSIC INDUSTRY, SHOWING TRUE FILIPINO CREATIVITY AND TALENT!

PUT A SHORT MONTAGE OF GUITAR STRUMMING

BUT THE GREAT PINOY BAND DREAM ABRUPTLY ENDED IN MARCH 2002. (INSERT FILE ON THEIR BREAK-UP IF THERE IS NO VIDEO AVAILABLE, AT LEAST CLIPPINGS FROM THE NET, SCORE WITH NEWSY MUSIC)

THE BAND BROKE UP, ALONG WITH THE MILLION OF THEIR FANS’ DREAM OF GREAT MUSIC!

THE FOUR MEMBERS CONTINUED THEIR QUEST FOR MUSIC EXCELLENCE WITH MARCUS ADORO PERFORMING AS MARKUS HIGHWAY, BUDDY ZABALA IN THE DAWN, RAYMUND MARASIGAN IN SANDWICH AND ELY BUENDIA IN PUPIL!

THE BAND MEMBERS HAD NEVER BEEN SEEN TOGETHER ON STAGE SINCE THEY DISBANDED 6 YEARS AGO, SO WHEN A SMALL BLOG POST HINTED THAT A REUNION OF THE QUINTESSENTIAL 90S BAND WAS IN THE OFFING, THE NEWS AND EXCITEMENT BROKE LOOSE LIKE “ALOHA MILKYWAY” EXPLODING!

/transition

VO

BUT AS IF DESTINY PLAYED ITS TRICKS, A BARRAGE OF PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED SHORTLY AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN ERASERHEADS REUNION CONCERT!

Up sot from news

THE ORIGINAL SPONSOR FACED SOME LEGAL ISSUES.  THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE CHANGE OF VENUE AND ORGANIZERS, AMONG OTHERS. AND ON LATE AUGUST…ELY BUENDIA’S MOTHER PASSED AWAY.

/transition

VO

BUT INDEED, NOTHING COULD STOP THE HISTORIC REUNION OF THE ERASERHEADS, AND SO LAST SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 2008 AT THE FORT BONIFACIO OPEN FIELD, THE STARS, SUPPORTERS AND FANS CAME IN DROVES TO SEE THE BAND!

MOTS – anticipation, what they wanna hear, matagal nilang hinintay etc, both artists and fans ito

Val SU

After 6 long years, the ultraelectroagneticpop band eraserheads is reunited for a one night concert! Kaya toyang, nena, Shirley at mga pare ko, shake yer head and overdrive sa alapaap ng ligaya with the greatest Filipino band, Eraserheads!

VO

MINUTES BEFORE THE START OF THE CONCERT, THE CROWD WAS ALREADY WILD…(PAUSE VO THEN INSERT SITNERS OF ANTICIPATING CROWD—) - CHEERING AND COUNTING EVERY SECOND TOWARDS THE MOST ANTICIPATED EVENT!

AND WHEN THE BAND FINALLY CLIMBED UP THE STAGE…(PAUSE VO TO ALLOW SCREAMING, NOISE BARRAGE OF CROWD)…. FORT BONIFACIO SIMPLY BECAME, INDESCRIBABLE.

Up sound

(UPSOT EXCERPT WITH “ALAPAAP” PART OF SONG)

THE FIRST SONG TOOK THE AUDIENCE TO THE SKY!

UPSOT EXCERPT WITH “LIGAYA” LINE…THEN VOICE OVER:

HAPPINESS IS ALL AROUND THE FIELD…

UPSOT EXCERPT WITH “SEMBREAK”…THEN VO…

AND FOR A WHILE…IT FELT AS IF TIME STOOD STILL WITH THE ERASERHEADS ON STAGE…

THE CROWD SANG EVERY LYRIC OF THEIR SONGS! MARCUS ADORO AND BUDDY ZABALA GAVE A GOOD TUNE WITH THEIR GUITARS. RAIMUND MARASIGAN BEAT THE DRUMS, WHILE ELY BUENDIA SANG HIS HEART OUT.

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT, UNTIL THE LAST SONG OF THE FIRST SET ‘LIGHTYEAR… ELY.  THIS AMATEUR FOOTAGE TELLS ALL….(JUST LET THE VIDEO ROLL SO VIEWERS CAN SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING)

NOT LONG AFTER THE LIGHTS WENT OUT…

A SHORT BREAK WAS ANNOUNCED AS THE COUNTDOWN TIMER FLASHED ’20:00 MINUTES’ ON THE HUGE VIDEO SCREEN.

AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE MORE THAN 20 MINUTES, ELY’S SISTER CAME OUT ON STAGE ALONG WITH THE OTHER BAND MEMBERS AND THE CONCERT ORGANIZERS.

-BREAK FOR GAP-

SECOND GAP:

VOICE OVER:

TWENTY MINUTES AFTER THE LONG BREAK….

ELY’S SISTER CAME OUT WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ERASERHEADS…

BEARING THE BAD NEWS…

UPSOT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT

(SHOT OF CROWD’S REACTION…NO VO)

UPSOT APOLOGY OF THE GROUP AND THE ONE MINUTE SILENCE

/breaker

Band members approaching the audience

FANS AND SUPPORTERS WERE STUNNED AS THEY WERE REQUESTED TO IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE VENUE, AND MANY EXPRESSED THEIR SHOCK AND CONCERN OVER ELY AND HIS HEALTH.

MOTS

VO

IT CAN BE REMEMBERED THAT ELY HAD TWO HEART ANGIOPLASTIES; A SPECIAL OPERATION ON THE HEART LAST JANUARY 2007.

Sot buddy

MANY BELIEVE THAT THIS, PLUS HER MOTHER’S RECENT DEATH, COMBINED WITH THE PRESSURES OF THE REUNION CONCERT CAUSED EXTREME PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL STRESS THAT NEARLY BROUGHT DOWN THE ARTIST. AS OF PRESS TIME, IT WAS REPORTED THAT ELY’S CONDITION IS STABLE.

Sot organizer

Val SU

Despite what happened, fans and supports of eraserheads are hoping for a happy ending both for the band and ely’s health.

UP ELI SINGING (PARA MAS DRAMATIC AND ENDING.  LAST SAY NI VAL, LAST VIDEO NI ELY)
