Hagibis (Filipino word meaning "velocity", "speed" [1] or 'swiftness") is a Filipino disco group best known for their macho image, on-stage costumes, and macho songs about women. Originally formed by Juan dela Cruz Band singer and bassist Mike Hanopol and Vic del Rosario, [2] [3] they are cited as the "First Boyband in the Philippines" [4] and later were coined the title "Village People of the Philippines", [5] a title they still hold to this day. [6] Their original line-up were composed of Sonny Parsons, Bernie Fineza, Mike Respall, Joji Garcia and Mon Picazo.

History

According to Mike Hanopol, who composed almost all of Hagibis' tracks, Vic del Rosario wanted to recruit famous actors and singers for the new group; but later changed his mind, and instead, they recruited unknown musicians. Hanopol also revealed in the same interview that he also sung the band's recorded songs himself. [3] Sonny Parsons also said during Hagibis' guest appearance on Tonight with Arnold Clavio, that he originally auditioned for VST & Co. before joining Hagibis. [7] The group borrowed some elements of the American disco group Village People, [8] such as the line dancing, the leather clothing, and the accompaniment of motorcycles. [9]

In 1980, the film Dolphy's Angels was released [10] which contained a musical number by Hagibis. [9]

Tony Ferrer's directorial debut, the musical film Legs... Katawan... Babae! which premiered on July 2, 1981, was a film vehicle for the group. [11] The film co-stars Myrna Castillo, Laarni Enriquez, Dinah Dominguez, Val Iglesias, etc. [12] That same year in Lito Lapid's Macho Gigolo, Hagibis performed its theme song. [9]

Group member Sonny Parsons would go on to be a director and action star in the film industry. [9]

The new lineup of Hagibis appeared on Tonight with Arnold Clavio in 2014 with Sonny Parsons, Mike Respall, Carlos Parsons and Pete Gatela. [7] Original member Bernie Fineza died on January 15, 2015, while another original member, Sonny Parsons passed away on May 10, 2020. [5] Currently, Pete Gatela and Carlos Parsons are the official and active members of Hagibis.
