Ahead of the highly anticipated reunion concert of Bamboo Mañalac, Rico Blanco, Mark Escueta, and Nathan Azarcon, the original members of one of the most iconic rock bands in OPM history — Rivermaya — met up for a much-deserved get-together.

PUSH got clips of the gathering which gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the friendship between the members of the group.

In the clips, Bamboo, Rico, Mark, and Nathan can be seen exchanging hugs and enjoying glasses of beer.

While it has yet to be confirmed what they discussed, it appears everything is in full swing and all hands are on deck to make one of the most exciting OPM reunion concerts happen for their longtime fans.

In March of this year, Bamboo left fans almost heartbroken after he reacted to a question asking if there’s a chance for them to reunite for a show.  

“I will never say never. But I cannot imagine how. We can hang out in the house or have dinner, but to play again?” he told ABS-CBN News.

While Bamboo did not dismiss the idea of doing a show, he reiterated that it’s been nearly two and a half decades since he left the group. 

“You have to imagine how long we’ve been away from each other and what kind of family I’ve built with the guys I’m playing with now. I’m pretty loyal to my band now,” he remarked. 

In the end, Bamboo has been supportive of the band.

“I understand we’re all trying to make a living,” he said. 

“I got to take care of my guys. I know Rivermaya is out there. They are doing their thing as well, as they are playing. They are sharing their music, as well,” he added. 

But to everyone’s surprise, Bamboo joined in on the reunion concert which was announced earlier this month, leaving thousands of fans excited about what’s to come. 

The original members of Rivermaya are Perf de Castro, Bamboo, Rico Blanco, Mark Escueta, and Nathan Azarcon. Only Mark and Nathan remain as active members of the band. Perf, for one, left in 1995, followed by Bamboo three years later in 1998. Rico, on the other hand, was last to depart in 2007.  Since then, Bamboo and Rico have gone on to pursue successful solo careers.

Some of Rivermaya’s greatest hits include “214,” “You’ll Be Safe Here,” “Elesi,” “Kisapmata,” “Awit ng Kabataan,” “Liwanag sa Dilim,” "Ulan," and "Hinahanap-hanap Kita," among others.
