Back in the early 2000’s there was a very popular rap battle competition within the noontime show, Eat Bulaga. It was called “RapPublic of the Philippines.” It was a clash of aspiring Filipino rap artists and the exceptional contestants were mentored by the late Master Rapper, Francis Magalona. Championing the competition was a trio from Marikina who called themselves “Triangulo” but would eventually become the hitmaking and now “comebacking” Hip-hop group known as “Crazy as Pinoy.” To acknowledge their being “Pinoy” they got their individual screen names from popular characters of Jose Rizal’s “Noli Me Tangere.” They are Lordivino Ignacio also known as Basilyo, Muriel Anne Jamito, Sisa and Jeffrey Pilien, Crispin. Under the guidance of Francis M.,
“Crazy as Pinoy” was able to record their songs in two volumes of “RapPublic of the Philippines” albums. Their hits include “Panaginip,” “Huwad,” and “Crazy Dance.”
In the mid 2000’s, the group continued creating songs and allowed each other to pursue solo careers in the music industry. Basilyo made it big with his hit song “Lord Patawad.” He is now a full-fledged actor and has starred with Coco Martin in TV series such as “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” and currently “Batang Quiapo.” He also composed songs for TV and movies, “Vendetha,” “Cardo Dalisay,” “3pol Trobol Huli Ka Balbon” and Jack Em Popoy:The Puliscredibles” to name a few.

She did «Di Ba Halata” for Toni Gonzaga, “Ngumiti Ka Lang” for Lyka Gairanod and «Di Ka Man Lang Nagpaalam” for Juan Karlos Labajo. Her biggest honor so far in the “theme song category” is the song “Di Ka Nag-lisa” which was one of the hit themes for “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” sung by Ms. Regine Velasquez, it bagged an Awit Award for Best Song Written for Movie/TV/Stage.
