Unfortunately, the other three Eraserheads also believed the roadie's story, which disturbed Buendia because he felt betrayed of their longstanding friendship.

After Buendia left Eraserheads, Adoro also decided to quit a few months later.

There were also bases at Nichols Air Station, now Villamor Airbase, Nielson Air Base ( now Makati City — Ayala and Buendia Avenues lay over the original landing strips ), at Fort William McKinley ( now Fort Andres Bonifacio and the American Cemetery ), Camp Murphy ( now Camp Aguinaldo and Camp Crame ) in Quezon City, Camp O ' Donnell in Tarlac and a series of airbases and army installations in Pampanga including Fort Stotsenburg, Clark Air Base, as well as Camp Wallace in La Union, the Naval Station in Sangley Point, Cavite City, Camp Keithley in Lanao, Camp Eldridge in Los Baños, Laguna and Camp Henry T.

After weeks of speculation, it was confirmed that the main songwriter and lead singer, Ely Buendia, had left the band in mid-March 2002 for " reasons unknown ".

Buendia's band colleagues and crew at the gig gave Buendia " a cold shoulder ", related Ventura, being under the impression that Buendia had come late deliberately.

He said Buendia stated in the text message that he had already " graduated.

Buddy Zabala had checked on Buendia in his tent right after they went to their planned 20 minute break and saw that he already was on an oxygen mask with paramedics checking his blood pressure.

Bandmates Zabala, Marasigan and Adoro further said that they had no idea that Buendia was already having difficulty performing.

MTV Philippines President Francis Lumen stated: “ He had a slight attack because of stress due to the recent passing of his mother ( Lisette Buendia ), and their sound check which lasted till 3 a. m. today ( Saturday ).” Buendia's mother died of cardiac arrest on August 28 after recovering from surgery to treat her intestinal cancer.

Buendia had been administered with a potassium intravenous fluid.

Buendia had mixed feelings about the tribute album, saying that " It ’ s too early to be taking part in it and I don ’ t see myself being part of it kasi ( because ) I ’ m still doing something here ... To be part of it is like acknowledging na tapos na ako ( that I am finished ); isa na lang akong trophy na itatago na ( I'm just a trophy to be shelved ).

Buendia and Adoro knew about the event but did not go there as they had other gigs as well.

Other awards include the Biblioteca Breva for the novel Leonora, the Mazatlán prize for Hasta no verte Jesús mío awards from the Club de Periodistas, the Manuel Buendia journalism prize, and the Radio UNAM prize for her book of interviews with Mexican authors entitled Palabras Cruzadas (" Crossed Words ").

Curfew, which consisted of Buddy Zabala on bass, Raimund Marasigan on drums and Marcus Adoro on guitars met up with Sunday School, which consisted of Ely Buendia on vocals and Raimund as session drummer in December of the same year.

The next day, Buendia brought the incident to the attention of the band's management boss, Butch Dans, to which he allegedly reverted the blame to the roadie's " unprofessionalism ".

Sony BMG reported Buendia was " stable " after suffering hypokalemia a medical condition in which the concentration of potassium in the blood is low.

Meanwhile a year before the CMMTC proposal was unveiled NLEX concessionaire subsidiary Metro Pacific Tollway Development Corporation ( MPTDC ) through its Manila North Tollways Corporation ( MNTC ) submitted their proposal which is dubbed as " Segment 11 or the NLEx-SLEx Connector Road " in the NLEx Phase 2 project which involves the construction of a 13. 24 kilometer Elevated Expressway from Buendia ( Skyway Stage 1 ) to the C-3 Road which will connect to the NLEx via Segment 10 of the NLEx Phase 2 project in which most of the elevated roadway will be located above the C-2 Road Right-Of-Way.

Eraserheads, or E-Heads was a Filipino rock band of the 90s, formed by Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro.

Buendia later announced to his mates through SMS that he was quitting the group.

" Adoro quipped in the same interview that it was natural for Buendia to graduate first, since he was in batch ' 87 of their college ( UP Diliman ), while the rest were in batch ' 88.

Buendia was quoted saying " Im not doing this for the money but for the E-heads fans who remain loyal ".

The concert, however, was cut short halfway through a planned 30-song setlist as Buendia was rushed to the Makati Medical Hospital after experiencing chest pains.

Buendia was transferred to Philippine Heart Center 10: 00 p. m. of August 31 after being treated at the critical care area of the Makati Medical Center emergency room.

The blood vessel operated upon was " 100 percent fully restored ," and Buendia was recovering in " stable condition but still under observation.

" On September 5, 2008, Buendia was discharged from the hospital.

On 25 October episode of Startalk, Buendia said that the reunion concert was supposed to be a " one night only " Eraserheads reunion concert.

Due to increasing vehicles congesting on the SLEX within Metro Manila, the Metro Manila Skyway was constructed as a direct, non-stop route from Bicutan in Parañaque to Buendia Avenue in Makati, bypassing many of the interchanges of the SLEX, such as those with the C-5 near Fort Bonifacio and EDSA.

The music was composed by Juan de Tellería and Juan R. Buendia.

He was the drummer, vocalist and lyricist alongside former bandmate Ely Buendia of The Eraserheads, and the current keyboard / synths player for Pedicab, former rhythm guitarist and now frontman of Sandwich, current drummer of Cambio, vocalist of Project 1 and the man behind Squid 9.

Marasigan's songwriting output for the Eraserheads was only next to that of its principal songwriter, Ely Buendia.

In 2002, vocalist-guitarist Ely Buendia left the Eraserheads, and Kris Dancel from the all-girl band, Fatal Posporos, was recruited to fill the vacancy.

Meanwhile, Buendia became employed as a student copywriter by BMG Records Pilipinas ( now part of Sony BMG Music Entertainment ).

Once completed, the Connector Road will have four entry and exit points: C-3 Road in Caloocan, España and Quirino Avenue in Manila, and Buendia in Makati.

After crossing Buendia Avenue, the highway enters the Ayala Center, an important industrial district in the Philippines, where the Greenbelt and Glorietta shopping centers are located.

" Buendia explained.

Eventually, the songs of Buendia and the band caught the attention of BMG A & R Director Vic Valenciano.

However, in subsequent interviews, Buendia pointed to business matters as the cause of the band's break-up.

In PULP Magazine, Buendia's wife and manager, Diane Ventura, claimed that the breakup started with a miscomunication between Buendia and the band's roadie, the result being that Buendia and Ventura turned up late at a mall gig.

Dans allegedly quipped that Buendia and Ventura were " probably too high on drugs " to remember the gig's schedule.

Ventura stepped in to dispute the allegation and vehemently denied that she and Buendia were even told of the schedule.

Ely Buendia did affirm that the reunion will be for a night's performance only, to be sponsored by a multinational tobacco company.

As he left and came back, paramedics were already taking Buendia on an ambulance.
