For two decades, Zuñiga spent a lot of his stage time and concerts with Alejandro and the rest of the OPM Hitmakers. Alejandro was the scriptwriter of the group, especially after Rico J. Puno’s death back in 2018. He would be the one in charge of distributing the jokes or the ‘green jokes’ to everyone in the group.

“That’s one thing I like about him, he’s a professional. Kahanga-hanga siya as a performer, moreso as an individual. Nakakalungkot, parang ayaw na namin lahat mag-perform pero as entertainers the show must go on," Zuñiga emphasized.

Three of them are left, but Zuniga believes that it’ll still feel complete.

“We know that in every performance, nandiyan sila. 'Yung spirit nila, 'yung energy nila nasa amin. And that inspires us to perform better. Hats off to you Hajji, we love you and we will miss you," he added.
