MANILA, Philippines — Original Pilipino Music (OPM) icon Rico Blanco is grateful for all the people who attended their Rivermaya reunion concert last Saturday.

The band opened their concert with “Monopoly,” “Kung Ayaw Mo, Huwag Mo,” “The Princess of Disguise,” “Hinahanap-hanap Kita,” “Ballroom Dancing,” “Sunny Days” and “Ulan.”
