Kris Gorra Dancel (Guitars/vox), Donna Macalino (Bass/vocals) & (Drums/vocals) and Annette Ortiz Diaz broke into the Philippine Alternative Rock just right before the turn of the 21st century as Fatal Posporos. Their music was catchy and filled with energy. And the drums were definitely grooving. Rightfully so, Annette Ortiz Diaz found solace and comfort behind the kit and did keep the trio tightly together! Fast forward and Annette has now moved to the Southern California and is happily married to artist, Dennis Diaz, with whom they have three children. And Annette is definitely keeping her proud family together. We had the pleasure of having Annette drop by Paco's Place and we ended up talking about music, family and what the LA Music Scene is now for aspiring Pinoy artists.

Join us and laugh with us!

Probably one of the best OPM Songwriters of our time, Odette Quesada gave us songs that became part of our lives. From graduating to falling in love to losing someone you love, her body of work speaks volume about her talent and depth. It was an honor and a privilege for me to have Miss Odette Quesada on The Paco Arespacochaga Podcast to talk about her hits... "Friend Of Mine", "Til I Met You", "Don't Know What to Say" and a whole lot more. She shared her life and her journey through it. Shared her victories and the loss of her soulmate, Bodjie Dasig. It's all meat!

Grab a snack and join us. “Nasa Yo” - https://youtu.be/NP1bhxADPaw written by Bodjie Dasig & Odette Quesada performed by Audrey Rose

Joseph Gelito is one of Southern California's most entertaining Comic. I was fortunate enough to have this very lovable person in the studio and took every opportunity to find out what goes inside the mind and heart of a Comic, specially when faced with trials and adversity, while performing on stage.

To simply say that Jannelle So is a Filipino-American TV Host based in Los Angeles, CA doesn't really encompass what she had accomplish all her life. However, I can proudly say that Jannelle was the person who created awareness in mainstream media that the Filipino talent can do everything! And I do mean everything in terms of creating a DAILY show, being in charge of inviting all the guests, taking care of pre-production and writing the script and monologue for the day, the post-production and editing aspect of the show and building relationships with advertisers for her show along the way. She could very well be our own version of what Oprah had done when she was building her empire.

Fast forward... I had the pleasure and privilege to sit down with Janelle... as my guest. And now all of us can finally find out how she became successful as a TV Personality both here and abroad.

Get ready to be inspired by this awesome and candid podcast episode featuring Janelle So.

Kris Ivan is a very talented singer/songwriter. Together with Jayson Vera Cruz, Keisey Hicban and John Loveres, also know as the band, Browndition, Kris Ivan is a force to reckon with. As a solo performer, you can catch him playing a repertoire of covers and original songs on an acoustic guitar. I had a chance to sit down and have a nice conversation with Kris Ivan. And the stories he shared were very inspiring and humbling.

After listening to this podcast, I'd encourage you to check out the links I've included to see how good of a performer he is.
