Fans trooped to the Araneta Coliseum last Tuesday (February 16) as they were serenaded by the band that went to become an independent after being signed before to a major label namely the Universal Republic.<br /><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><div dir="ltr" lang="en">Still stoked on yesterday's show.

Not so soon.</b><br /><br />What has been a long standing rumor of the Philippines having its own Disneyland theme park has been shut following the meeting of President Benigno Aquino III and some executive of Disney. The meeting discussed the potential investments that the American multi-national company might enter into. Unfortunately, building another Disneyland theme park was part of the discussion.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3BQcgDyBeZdkWPq-YKbxM1tZzI_WAU_DzfPBy3Ej6yG_tURhcQ9qK4RrFyBSdUXpLMG5OdQcB9wUYuXQUPQ24_ijfkLmpcpm8qiXMvGejFDLKJetPW_q-KJAXOfzT5zhm6as4fNr_JUGC/s1600/Disney.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Disneyland in the Philippines" border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3BQcgDyBeZdkWPq-YKbxM1tZzI_WAU_DzfPBy3Ej6yG_tURhcQ9qK4RrFyBSdUXpLMG5OdQcB9wUYuXQUPQ24_ijfkLmpcpm8qiXMvGejFDLKJetPW_q-KJAXOfzT5zhm6as4fNr_JUGC/s640/Disney.jpg" title="Disneyland in the Philippines" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Sorry, not time yet for Mickey to hang out with Pinoys.
