PASAY CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Pasay Bureau) – It was touted as the reunion of the decade — members of the musical group Apo Hiking Society coming together for the first time since disbanding in 2010. The reunion was to happen at a concert rally held Saturday by the Leni Robredo-Kiko Pangilinan campaign in Pasay City.

But alas, to the disappointment of fans, there was no such reunion. Jim Paredes tweeted that Danny Javier won’t be able to join him and Boboy Garovillo due to health issues.

This fueled a lot of speculation about the botched reunion.

Some netizens said Javier may not have wanted to be associated with Paredes, who became controversial after an embarrassing self sex video that went viral on the Internet.

Others noted that Javier is known to be a supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte as confirmed by no less than ABS-CBN. Duterte’s daughter Sara is running for Vice President in tandem with former Senator Bongbong Marcos.

MORAL OF THE STORY; Blood may be thicker than water, but politics is thicker than a disbanded singing group.
