Developments come and go, however the traditional hits of Apo Mountain climbing Society dwell on. With chart-topping melodies hot-wired into the souls of Filipinos, the legendary band’s members, Jim Paredes and Boboy Garovillo, are celebrating 50 golden years of friendship and music in “50 Years Stable Gold,” the Apo’s anniversary live performance on the Newport Performing Arts Theater on Nov. 17.

With enduring songs like “Panalangin,” “Awit ng Barkada” and “Batang-Bata Ka Pa,” Apo’s legacy has been ingrained within the panorama of Unique Pilipino Music or “OPM,” a time period coined by the late Danny Javier, one of many band’s unique members.

Apo has launched over 200 tracks and 27 albums in a span of half a century, with two profitable tribute albums produced in 2006 and 2007 that includes younger bands.
