What a great start to 2024 for Moonstar88! The band composed of Maysh Baay (vocals), Herbert Hernandez (guitars), Bon Sundiang (drums) and Buddy Zabala (bass) wins the Rock/Alternative song of the Year award for their song “Parola” in the 9th Wish Music Awards held last January 14, 2024 at the Araneta Coliseum. Their win also grants a Php 100,000.00 donation to their chosen charity Philippine Cerebral Palsy, Inc. According to Maysh, “It’s always a big blessing and privilege to be able to help in any capacity.”
“Parola” is a song about how we can be each other’s guiding light that never burns out especially to those who need it. Written by Herbert, it was inspired by the breathtaking views of Batanes … from its rolling hills, to its stone houses and most especially its parolas (lighthouses). “Parola” produced by Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala is the band’s 2nd single for their album entitled Lourdes 2088 released under Soupstar Music.
