The Greatest Hitmakers in Anaheim

Anaheim, CA - The Greatest Hitmakers are back here in the United States and Orange County was their last stop before heading back to the Philippines.

Marco Sison, Nonoy Zuniga, Rey Valera, Haji Alejandro and Mr. Rico J. Puno performed at the Heritage Forum in front of sold out crowd. Fans started to gather in front of the venue as early as 5:00PM and doors opened at 6:30PM with some fans still waiting in line at the box office buying tickets for the show.

The concert started at 7:30PM with the 5 hitmakers appearing on stage. At the start of the show, they already made jokes amongst themselves headed by the funny and crazy Rico Puno in what is expected to be a great and fantastic show for everyone filled with memorable songs and hilarious jokes.

Marco Sison started the solo act for the Hitmakers singing his trademark song, Si Aida, O Si Lorna, O Si Fe. Marco Sison's natural voice still wows the fans as he graced along spectators giving them the chance to hug and take pictures with him.

Nonoy Zuniga, the hitmaker with a deep voice followed Marco and sang hit song after another bringing you down to memory lane...a blast from the past. Mellow voiced Rey Valera was next in line to once again entertain the audience with his classic tagalog songs. He sang almost all his famous songs and impressed the audience well enough for the fans to shout "more, more, more" just as he was about to introduce Haji. He thanked the audience by granting their wish by singing another song.

Haji, the good looking singer with the handsome voice looked younger than ever as he performed in front of the sold out crowd. He sang his favorite classics from the 70's to the 80's including the hit "Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika", a tribute song to Filipino singers.

The night will not be complete with out the husky voiced Rico J. Puno who is considered the leader of the Hitmakers when it comes to age, women and jokes. The singer during his first song made rounds at the Forum hugging women of all ages as fans took advantage of the situation to pose with him for photos. Before Rico was introduced, Haji informed the audience of his plans to run for congress in the city of Makati in the Philippines. Rico confirmed his aspirations to serve the city and run for congress. Rico J was a former councilor of Makati.

Overall, the night was filled with memorable songs, silly and green jokes and a great concert to unwind after a busy week. It was a concert worth seeing and for Filipinos who grew up listening to their music, it was great to hear those songs again. All five Hitmakers were brilliant with their individual act and their group performance as well. We hope to see them again next year and even if Rico J becomes a congressman, I still hope that he will be there next year.
