00:00The new orient pearl, the re-launched orient pearl, you call it FOP, fake orient pearl, why?
00:10Well, they're not the name of the group, so how can they be the orient pearl?
00:16That's it, simple as that.
00:19So for the record, who started, who has the name of the orient pearl of the group?
00:26Me, whoever you ask.
00:29So, if ever, will you demand it because they used it?
00:34No, I don't want to waste that time. I'm waiting for them to demand it.
00:39So are you angry with them, or are you just angry?
00:42I'm not angry, I'm just angry.
00:46So now, for the record, who holds the copyright of your songs, like Paglis and the hit songs?
00:53Oh, the copyright of our songs?
00:56Actually, the publishing of that song came back to us a long time ago.
01:00The day before, because the publishing contract was only 5 years.
01:05So, it's all ours now.
01:07Who composed it?
01:09Which is mostly me, the others, I'm with Dex, like that.
01:13Who else?
01:14So, there's no issue with you that they sang it?
01:17Wow, no.
01:18Why would I stop them from singing it?
01:21I think there are thousands of bands singing in the Philippines every night.
01:26Why would I single them out? It's a bit lowbrow, I won't do it.
01:29Are you angry with what happened, but are you still open in perfect time to talk to your former bandmates?
01:37Of course, they're like my brothers.
01:40I'm just thinking about what happened.
01:45Like what I said, I hope you form a group, you have a new singer.
01:50You should've changed your name.
01:52Why would you use that?
01:54We should've made it our own.
01:57How did Orient Pearl come together in 1993-94?
02:02How did it start?
02:04Of course, any band is just for fun.
02:08There were only three of us.
02:10Me, Richie, Padilla Raymundo, my mother's brother,
02:15On Drums, Jigs, Padilla, Lock Up, On Bass.
02:20There were only three of us.
02:22Eventually, I had a hard time playing guitar and singing,
02:26so I recruited other guitarists so I could concentrate on the audience.
02:32That's basically how it started.
02:35So the founder is just one person? Who?
02:38Who do you think?
02:40Me.
02:43Sorry, let's go back to your message.
02:46What's your reaction to the new vocalist?
02:50I don't have a problem with him.
02:53He has nothing to do with the issue.
02:55He applied to the band, he was accepted.
02:58Of course, he has the right to work.
03:01He expressed his artistic freedom.
03:03I don't have a problem with that.
03:05What can we expect from your new concert?
03:09What do you think of Ogenzi, Lay, and Kookie?
03:13They're amazing.
03:17Like I said, I might be a leotard.
