DANNY, JIM, BOBOY "ROCK, CHACHA, MARCH" AT PALA!

It cut across generation lines. After singing their last number, Danny, Jim and Boboy stood triumphant at the Events Theater of the Pala Casino on the evening of May 15, 2005 while people from age 12 to past 60 stood in lusty applause and ovation. For almost two hours, the Triumphant Three, regaled, serenaded, humored and charmed their way straight to the audience's heart. People came from all over California to see the show, many of them from LA who had just watched APO's Knottsberry gig just a week before. Because of the thunderous shouts for more, APO encored with "Kung Gusto Mo Gusto Ko Pa" which ended the performance. "It was one of our best shows yet, " Danny gushed to Boboy and Jim between high fives after the show.

Bituin Escalante, in a sultry red gown opened the evening showing off her powerful voice with show-stoppers like "Proud Mary", "Aretha Franklin medley", "Balot" and a few other songs.

Among the audience was renowned theater artist-performer-director and now US resident Bernardo Bernardo who gushed praises at the APO and Bituin after the show. A large number of people lined up to buy CDs, DVDs, pins, T-shirts and other stuff which Danny, Jim, Boboy and Bituin gamely signed.

The next day, APO left for Houston to promote their upcoming show there on May 29. They will be going on Wednesday to Atlanta to do the same for their May 28 gig there. APO will be doing a show at Portland, Oregon on the 21^st , and another at UNLV in Las Vegas on the 27^th of May.
