- Eraserheads & their manager, Ann Angala, meet with Sen. Tito Sotto to formally submit their 'Letter of Statement' amidst the "Alapaap" controversy. The meeting was held at the Senate of the Philippines (at the Old Legislative Building) in Manila on August 24, 1995 Thursday. Also present were the band's label, BMG's representative and lawyers, members of the media & Senate staff.
..........
The following is a transcript of the band's letter:
24 August 1995
Dear Senator Sotto:
Greetings! We, the Eraserheads are forwarding this letter in the hope that whatever misinterpretation of our song entitled “Alapaap” will soon be cleared up.
We have not forgotten, in fact we have taken to heart, our, responsibility to the public, especially the youth. Therefore, glorifying/promoting drug and substance abuse is not part of our goal, and is far from our imagination. We are 100% against it.
In the press release of the Junior Drug Watchers, it states that, “The song ‘Alapaap’ does not mention drugs but it describes the sensation or ‘trip’ felt by someone on drugs.” Words could mean anything and could be interpreted to mean everything, and people certainly definitely differ with one another in interpretation.
We are saddened by the fact that this song, “Alapaap”, which the band considers to be our “ode to freedom” as artists in our society, was dubbed as an “ode to drug abuse”, by the Junior Drug Watchers. But as artists we are willing subjects to different opinions of the public and our work
subject to different interpretations.
We believe in your judgment and we are more that sure that whatever action is to be done by good office will be beneficial to the public in general, and the youth in particular. Rest be assured that we will always be supportive of the campaign against drug abuse.
Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Eraserheads
(signed by all 4 members & their manager)

Eraserheads are always ahead of their time, like here they are already vlogging even before vlogging is a thing.
first time to see and witness eheads perform live was when i was on my first year high school with my dad.. it was in ateneo, we were outsider, i guess i was the youngest and my dad was the oldest amongst all the people inside the vicinity.. it was fun,.. PRECIOUS MEMORY, A GOOD OLSDNOSTALGIA

Kasibulan kotong kanta nato.15 yrs old ako flashback ang memory maganda yung kanta na ganti nila kay Tito Sotto. 😂
Oo nga eh dahil sa katangahan ni Tito sotto nabulgar tuloy baho nya 😂🤣😂🤣
the surroundings have darkened one night, as somebody calls my name on the 11th floor, asking if I am okay. He then passed me a glass, as someone was waiting. I asked myself, "why do we refuse when we are done with everything?"
Now, I don't know why we are still here. May we stop the world from spinning for a while?
Tanga ka
1995 nasa peak ng kasikatan ang E.HEADS I was 16 years old and 4th year high school during that time kaka miss yung Panahon na yan
11:37 immortal.
They were already vlogging when it did not yet exist at that time...
32:35 Reporter: ano bang nakukuha mo diyan sa kinompose mo na yan?
Legendary composer: wala lang. Kinompose KO lang😂😂
Sira ulo talaga hahaha pero ngayon baliktad na yung Ely boy na hyper noon people change talaga :(
1994: Alapaap
1997: Spoliarium
Grabe 2years old palang ako neto 😅 ngayon Idol ko na mga kanta nila isa na yung alapaap. pero realtalk lang diko ko talaga inisip na about drugs pala yung kantang "alapaap" 😅 ang ganda kasi ng kanta eh, lakas maka jamming at sonudtrip
Kasama ako dun sa mga students papasok. Haha good old days 🤘
saang part? hsjagshahag zo cool
totoo? Ilang taon kana ngayon?
After this meeting, Eraserheads immediately went home to write Spoliarium.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA
Really? I've not been listening to what titot sen is saying
You're not sure
🤣
THE SPOLAIRIUM IS INUMAN SESSION NILA ELY AT SI ENTENT AT JOEY AY KAIBIGAN NILA ELY NANAG DESIGN ALBUM COVERS NILA
I remember this, Sotto made a big deal of Alapaap, and wanted to Ban the song. I miss the 90’s where u go at your local newsstand and check the newest issue of song hits.
Walang idea si Sen Sotto na mga future legends ang mga kaharap nya
Tama
Hindi pa ako buhay nito 1996 birthyear ko isa lang ang tumatak sa isip ko paborito ng tatay kong patutugin ang Eheads tuwing nagddrive siya kasama ako 😁😁 kaya hanagang ngayon pati ako naging Eheads fan nadin.
Same!!
Binatikos p kc n sotto nkalimutan ata nya mga batang U.P yan.
11:37 para sa mga naghahanap sa Legend
Hahahahahha
Nothing shocking. He was there when beatles came
Enrilegend. Nambawan
walang kupas ahahaha
Suwerte nung mga batang nakapila habang nag lalakad sa National museum, di nila alam kung sino ung mga makukulit na banda na sumabay sa kanila mag lakad
hahaha tama ka bro😄 matanda narin ung mga batang yon ngayon
This 'Alapaap' controversy had nothing to do with & was not the inspiration behind the song "Spoliarium." - Schizo (the Uploader of this video). Itong comment ko para sa mga hindi nagbasa at hindi pinanood ang videong ito (hindi rin gumamit ng utak) at basta na lang nag-comment.
Sen. Sotto bakit ang tagal tagal nyo na po sa senado tito padin kayo dapat lolo sotto na
Hahahaha
BAKIT WALANG MEETING SA SPOLARIUM
what?! haha walang issue sa spoliarium, sila lang gumagawa ng theory na yun lolxz
Nasa 4th floor pa ng National Museum building yung Office ng Philippine Senate(which happens to be the first/original office of the Philippine Senate).
Imagine those school kids on field trip that day are watching this now.
Anything Eraserheads ay talagang masarap panoorin. Si Tito Sen mahusay na entertainer yan kaya TVJ sila magpahanggang ngayon. This is what builds foundation of a true Rock band legends. Mabuhay ang Eraserheads!!! Maybe isang araw makagawa pa ulit sila ng isa pang album.. kahit matanda na sila sa araw na iyon...
Old but gold❤
That moment when Ely decided to get revenge on Tito Sotto by writing Spoliarium. "Tumilapon ang Spoliarium" meaning in nagialam at nagkalat yung Senator. Spoliarium symbolizes the Senate hall that time. kasi nandun yung office nila sa National Museum.
meron pa yung part na "sa may pintong salamin di ko na mabasa pagkat merong nagbura"
Daming alam
Ang saya Ng mga banat nla Ely, Raymund, Buddy & Marcus, the usual them, simple but rock,,, back then, nabuwiset tlga aq Kay Tito, musician xa bgo nting Sen. pero makitid utak,,,
Parang bumalik ako sa elementary school, I missed those years.
At ngayon di parin alam kung bat tayo nandito.

New wave, grunge,hip hop like beastie boys punk rock at iba pa ang kanilang influence hindi lang beatles.. bakit compare to beatles only?
Layo ng comparison mo tsong. walang flop na album ang Beatles at walang tapon na mga kanta. Although they may sound a little bit of Beatles in their few songs but it doesnt seem right to be their counterpart in the Philippines.
@@m3Lnavigator >walang flop na album ok hahaa
Dumilim ang surroundings
Kung ngayon ilalabas ang ALAPAAP sigurado live televised Senate hearing ang mangyayari, sawsaw to the max ang mga politicians ang mga politicians ngayon sa kahit anong issues na makakadagdag sa popularity nila.
si tito sen lang gumagawa ng ganon
Kahit mga magulang noong ganyan pananaw sa kantang yan. Pero syempre sarap kantahin e. Di naman mahalaga lyrics. Melody pa din. Sa iba lang medyo bigdeal. Lalo na kung tumutugtog ka sarap tugtugin kahit ano pa lyrics nyan
5 years old lang ako dto.. at laki din akong eheads nakaka miss sila sana mag consert ulet ang eheads
29:26
Ely: gagawa kame ng kantang maliwanag na maliwang..

"dumilim ang paligid" gabi noon
"may tumawag sa pangalan ko" niyaya nila si pepsi paloma lumabas
"labing isang palapag" 11th floor
"tinanong kung ok lang ako" -tinanong kung ok lang ba maginuman sila"
"sabay abot ng baso may naghihintay" pinainum siya ng alak na may drugs
"at bakit ba, pag nagsawa na ako biglang ayoko na" pinagpasa pasahan siya
"at ngayon, di pa rin alam kung ba't tayo nandito" nagiisip sila ng paraan kung pano malulusutan ang kaso
"pde bang itigil mo na, ang pag ikot ng mundo" patahimikin si pepsi paloma
"lumiwanag ang buwan, san juan di ko na nasasakyan" natahimik na si pepsi at di na sila pumupunta sa san juan kasi dun naganap ang pangrrape
"ang lahat ng bagay ay gumuguhit na lang sa king lalamunan" medyo nakahinga na sila ng maluwag
"ewan mo at ewan natin, sino may pakana" nagtuturuan na sila dahil nabuhay ang kaso
"at bakit ba tumilapon ang gintong alak diyan sa paligid mo" binayaran ang kaso.
"umiyak ang umaga, anong sinulat ni enteng at joey diyan" nagpublic apology sila
"sa gintong salamin di ko na mabasa pag kat meron nagbura" inareglo ni tito sotto para matapos na ang kaso

15 years old lang ako dito pero nakakainis na si sotto dito... lalo tuloy sumikat ang Alapaap dahil sa kakapigil nyo. One of my favorites..
Dumilim ang paligid...🎶🎶😉
anong sinulat ni Enteng at Joey dyan?
di ba nasa National Museum yung Spolarium where nandun dati ang Senate?
May video sa ads mo ser
Ang tagal na nito 3 years old pa ako nito
Best band ever exist in the Philippines
tito sen wasting time on trivial matters noon pa lang. lels
Matagal na syang senador at matagal na rin tong issue na to, eh hanggang ngayon andyan pa rin yung drugs at andyan pa rin sya. So anong ginagawa nya the following years? Baka nagpapabango lang sya dito.
More videos pls. Yung parang concert quality tagala. Tnx 4 this.
In fairness kay Tito Sotto noong lumabas at una kong narinig sa radyo yung alapaap may double meaning talaga sya na maiisip mo na related sa drugs yung lyrics.
yah' kasi parang nanghihikayat yung kanta nila na mag droga,.
matalino sa ganyan si Tito Sen,.
sumusulat ng din kasi ng kanta yan kaya alam na alam nya ibig sabin ng mga lyrics, lalo na si joey de leon,.
"Tignan mo aking Mata, di mo ba nakikita, ako'y lumilipad at nasa langit na gusto mo ba?,.. Sumama?",..
"Hanggang gumulong ang luha" tapos alapaap eh wala namang kinalaman yung pag gulong ng luha dun sa iba pang mga lyrics..
"Masdan mo aking mata, di mo ba nakikita, ako ngayo'y lumilipad at nasa langit na"
Tanga nalang talaga hindi makaka intindi nyan.
@@MrRhon100 kaya dahil jan..

Galing ng nag edit nito nung dumating si senator dumilim ung paligid
This was all just publicity stunt for Sotto. Ginamit lang niya ang Eheads para masabi na may ginagawa siya haha. Nakakatawa kasi pinansin nya yung kantang Alapaap pero hindi yung Insomya kung saan literal na nasa lyrics yun "ganja" 😂
True

Eyy pandemic p watching heads 😏

"“Alapaap?” A songwriter can ask no more than to have a song as controversial as that. Was it an allusion to drugs? Of course. You should know. Kaya nga na-pinpoint ‘yun e ‘cause it’s pretty obvious. Puwede ring hindi (about drugs), and that’s what we argued back then. (But) everybody knows what it’s about. Weed lang naman."
Erwin Romulo, "Ely Buendia on Existence, Loneliness, and the Songs That Matter", Esquire Philippines, 9 May 2017
Up dito hehe it's all about the weed. - Ely Buendia
Ely stated 'Spolarium' was never about TVC.
But does it make you wonder how Tito Sotto only reacted like this to 'Alapaap'?
We wouldn't believe Ely when he say this is about freedom. (Hehe, we all know it ain't)
If you compare 'Spolarium' to 'Alapaap,' you would barely even understand the deep meaning of 'Alapaap.'
This just adds to the reason why TVC was guilty. Oh, sorry, I mean - is guilty.
Alapaap 1995
Spolarium - 1997 o 1998
Alapaap means just means think outside the box and soar high 😂
Lately inamin din ni Ely na Talagang about sa Weed yang kantang yan 😂
Unang Pumasok sa Utak ko nung nakita ko to is "Surroundings became Dark
Ako na magsasabi sayo boy tanga yang pag iisip mo
@@michaelacorda5159 bat di mo sinabi sa sarili mo?
Dark talaga diyan...iba aura.
Imagine Tito Sotto intimidating Eraserheads just because of the secret meaning behind Spoliarium
3 buwan palang ako nito matapos akong ipanganak.
Para sa mga clueless baka pwede makahingi ng gist ng video na ito
Pina ban kasi ni Sen Tito Sotto yung song na Alapaap from radio stations etc because it glorifies drug use daw.. But according sa band, the song is about an expression of freedom. Alam mo nmn mga politiko natin kahit ano pinapakailaman

Meeting with Senator Acheche
OLRAYT! YARN! Ang nostalgic ng pagka Grandstanding este Outstanding ni Tito Sen. ✌🤭
34:13 yung grin smile ni ELy eh! hehehe parang sinasabi na "they fell for it hehehehe"😜🤭
Ganda hair e'heads lalu nc ely & raymond..kainis nagmamalinis ang row 4!
mula 19:56 ito yung mga panahong ang tumatakbo sa utak ni ely ay kung paano isusulat yung spoliraruim😂
Tama
1997 na release yung spolarium 1995 yung alaapaap, 1995 sila nag meet, (sabi ni ely, walang kinalaman yung pepsi paloma case sa kantang spolarium) pero feeling ko lng ginawa nya talaga yung song para tuluyang tigilan na ni tito ang e heads at kantang alapaap, sa tingin ko lng mga lods..
Listen to the Raymond Marasigan and Chico Mirando podcast
