“Buendia was quick to clarify to his fans that, \u201cWhoever that blond guy in the video is, it\u2019s not [him],\u201d adding, \u201cI wish both UAAP teams the best of luck, though.\u201d (File\u00a0Photo<\/a>: Eraserheads<\/a>\/Facebook<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Eraserheads lead singer Ely Buendia made sure to post on his social media to debunk word that his former band may be having a reunion for the second game of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 81 championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was after a 30-second video circulated last Monday, December 3, of Eraserheads drummer Raymund Marasigan, a graduate from the University of the Philippines (UP), performing the Filipino band\u2019s 1994 hit \u201cMinsan.\u201d The post was captioned, \u201cpractice before game two.\u201d Marasigan was joined by the band\u2019s bassist Buddy Zabala and guitarist Marcus Adoro as well, accompanied by another person with blond hair that many presumed was Ely Buendia.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Buendia was quick to clarify to his fans that, \u201cWhoever that blond guy in the video is, it\u2019s not\u201d him, adding, \u201cI wish both UAAP teams the best of luck, though.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He also joked, \u201cThe blond guy looks like (comedian) Vice Ganda from the back, to be honest. Possible collab with the other three, perhaps?\u201d even concluding in Filipino, \u201cLaughtrip how the guy taking the video only hints the blond guy. Giving the fans false hope,\u201d stating, \u201cSometimes these guys are like sembreak. No class at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Buendia and the Eraserhead members all met to form their popular alternative rock band when they were in college in the 90s. However, their last performance together was in 2009 at the Mall of Asia concert grounds in front of 100,000 people. Since then, they have been performing in their own respective bands, while Buendia has been flying solo. Just a couple of weeks ago, a remastered version of Eraserheads\u2019 debut album \u201cUltraelectromagneticpop!\u201d was released.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the denial of an Eraserheads performance, Game 2 of the UAAP championship series will still proceed with the UP<\/span>\u00a0Fighting Maroons battling it out with the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Blue Eagles on Wednesday, December 5 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
