Bamboo - The Band. After quitting Rivermaya and leaving for the US several years ago, Bamboo Manalac has returned to Manila and formed his own band, aptly named Bamboo. Joined by former Rivermaya bassist Nathan Azarcon, with Ira Cruz and Vic Mercado of Passage, they released their first album "As The Music Plays" last year, with the current radio hit Noypi as the carrier single. Their debut album propelled them to the top of the charts, and has won them numerous awards (see below). They have also just released their second album -"Light Peace Love" - probably the country's most anticipated album of 2005, and for good reason, Bamboo has released another keeper. Relying on the strong radio playtime of the single "Hallelujah" released several weeks ago, the band appears headed to establish itself as one of the Philippines best rock acts.
