the circumstances he was in.

(part 2)
after the first set i was so hyped. i went looking for buddy to check
up on him cos his bass effects was malfunctioning.
i found him coming out of ely's tent and said ely was rushed to the
hospital. we were all stunned and after a quick production meeting and
meeting with his family we had to announce that the concert had to be
cut short.
we prepared 3 sets. the first was just a warm up. the remaining two
was going to be the fun part.
there was more videos and light shows and pyro in store for everyone.
after getting fans family and friends safely out of the venue maps and
i headed over to saguijo bar to meet sandwich pedicab cambio and some
friends to hang.
after a few beers buddy arrives so we decided to play the second set
on borrowed equipment. thanx to mark maya for the stix. we had a
little help from ebe, kris, vin, aia and tani. by the time we were
playing el bimbo marcus shows up so he got to play also.
i guess we just did not want to go home to our posh hotel rooms all
down and defeated. i'm thankful we have great friends to support us,
cheer us up when we're sad, pick us up when we're down.
here's my new motto

E-Heads reunion concert cut short
FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo
Monday, September 1, 2008
It happened Saturday night, Aug. 30, just when the 20,000-plus fans that filled up every nook and cranny of the Bonifacio Global City Open Field were, so to speak, getting into the groove along with the four Eraserheads members — led by Ely Buendia, and including Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro — who were reuniting after they had gone their separate ways.
During the 20-minute intermission, Ely’s sister Lally went onstage to announce that the concert was being cut short because Ely was having chest pains and had to be rushed to the hospital. She apologized for the
unexpected turn of events.
That was after the E-Heads sang 15 songs —- Alapaap, Ligaya, Sem-Break, Hey Jay, Harana, Fruitcake, Toyang, Kamasutra, Kailan, Wag Kang Matakot, Kaliwete, With a Smile, Shake Your Head, Wag Mo
Itanong and Lightyears.
“Everybody understood, nobody complained,” said Frnacis Lumen of Radio Head Media Solutions, Inc. (and MTV Philippines) which took over as producer from Philip Morris Manufacturing Inc. (maker of Marlboro) barely four days before showtime, after anti-smoking groups protested against a cigaret company promoting a show aimed at the young set.
Then, after apologizing to the crowd, Francis led a one-minute prayer for Ely who had undergone a heart bypass two years ago.
“He was physically and emotionally exhausted due to the rigorous rehearsals and the death of his mother last Thursday,” said Francis. (The remains of Ely’s mother are at the BF Homes in Las Piñas City.)
Among those in the audience were Lea Salonga and husband Robert Chien, Agot Isidro and husband Manu Sandejas, Aiza Seguerra, Francine Prieto, Sarah Meier, director Joyce Bernal, Ryan Eigenmann, Ornussa Cadness, Atom Henares and the Gutierrez brothers Rocky and Ritchie Paul.
Here’s the official statement from Radio Head Media Solutions, Inc. management:
The Eraserheads Reunion concert was truly a night to remember, finally another encore to the most successful, critically-acclaimed, and significant band in the history of Original Pilipino Music OPM). It was the reunion of all reunions.
The crowd cheered when the countdown started. As the band emerged from the stage, the whole Bonifacio Global City Open Field went wild. The E-Heads’ first song was Alapaap. Everyone was singing along as the band sang Ligaya, Sem-Break, Harana, Toyang and With a Smile.
After 15 songs, Ely Buendia, the front man of the legendary band, experienced extreme exhaustion. During the 20-minute intermission, Mr. Buendia had to be rushed to Makati Medical Center. He was later transferred to the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City. He is now in stable condition but is still under observation.
We are extending our gratitude to all the 20,000 plus fans who attended the show. Thank you very much for understanding the circumstances and accepting the situation.
The rest of the band members are asking for continued prayers for the speedy recovery of Mr. Ely Buendia.

from the philippine daily inquirer:
Eraserheads concert cut short, Buendia rushed to hospital
MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATE 8) The Eraserheads Reunion Concert was cut short Saturday night when lead singer Ely Buendia was rushed to the Makati Medical Center after collapsing backstage during a 20-minute intermission of the planned 30-song concert.
The concert’s sudden end was announced by Buendia’s sister Lally who went onstage with Ely’s band mates Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and concert organizers stating that the band’s lead vocalist and songwriter was in poor health. The band members apologized to the audience for cutting short their performance.
MTV Philippines President Francis Lumen asked the crowd for a minute of silence to pray for Buendia’s health.
“He had a slight attack because of stress due to the recent passing of his mother (Lisette Buendia), and their sound check which lasted till 3 a.m. today (Saturday),” said MTV Philippines and Radiohead director for marketing Ronald Esguerra in an interview with INQUIRER.net. “But we have received word that Ely is now in stable condition.”
Organizers also belied erroneous reports that Buendia is undergoing triple bypass surgery, adding that the Eraserheads frontman actually wants to check out of the Makati Medical Center and go instead to his personal doctor.
According to Jing Garcia, former music journalist and currently technology editor at Manila Times and a friend of the Eraserheads members, Buendia collapsed backstage after the last song before the intermission, which was “Lightyears.” The band had already played 15 songs by then.
Buendia suffered a heart attack on January 7, 2007 and had already undergone surgery.
The concert, which was staged at the Fort Bonifacio Global City open field in Taguig, started at around 8:15 p.m. and paused for a break at around 9:30 p.m.
The Eraserheads opened their much-awaited reunion concert with “Alapaap” and “Ligaya,” complete with fireworks display.
After waiting at the open field for an hour since the intermission hoping for further developments, loyal fans of the band calmly left the concert area after being treated to a thrilling first set.
MTV Philippines’ Esguerra said that while he is hoping for a second Eraserheads reunion concert, there is still no word on whether another one would be staged.
“We have received no word of a Part Two but we also hope there will be one,” he said. With a report from Pocholo Concepcion, Philippine Daily Inquirer
