Marlo and John share how they first connected in which began a strong friendship and bond over the past 10 years!

John gives an overview on how he got started with music, who his musical influences were growing up, and how he got into performing around the nation with his group, Matrix. We talk about his family, how he met "Traf," about their four boys, and the group that we created to perform at Manila every first Saturday, with the Harmon Boyz.

We explore the history of the Barong Tagalog and the shirt that we gave John after a New Year's performance with the Harmon Boyz. We talk about its origins and how it is embraced today as the national formal wear of the Philippines.
