Rock Icon Chito Miranda Set to Electrify City of Dreams Manila’s CenterPlay Concert Series in a OneNightOnly Sold-Out Show

OPM rock fans are in for a night of pure Pinoy rock energy as Chito Miranda and friends take the stage at CenterPlay, City of Dreams Manila, on August 19, at 9:30 p.m. The performance marks the latest highlight of CenterPlay’s monthly Concert Series, which continues to showcase some of the country’s most enduring and celebrated OPM artists.

Miranda, best known as the charismatic frontman of Parokya ni Edgar, began his journey to rock icon status in the 1990s, when his band regularly performed at Club Dredd, one of Manila’s legendary rock venues. The band quickly gained popularity during the height of the Filipino rock explosion influenced by international grunge bands Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden.

Dubbed by local media as “The National Band of the Philippines,” Parokya ni Edgar has sold over 600,000 albums nationwide, with hits such as “Buloy,” “Harana,” “Halaga,” and “Silvertoes” cementing their place in OPM history. Their debut album Khangkhungkherrnitz (1996) and followup Buruguduystunstugudunstuy (1997) both achieved triple platinum status, while their witty novelty songs and satirical covers showcase their versatility across genres.

Under Miranda’s leadership, the band has earned accolades including an MTV Southeast Asian Music Video Award for “Harana” in 1999 and induction into the Eastwood City Walk of Fame in 2017 for their influence on Pinoy rock. Their legacy continues to inspire generations of music lovers, making every live performance a celebration of OPM’s enduring spirit.

Music enthusiasts can expect a powerhouse set filled with timeless hits, playful banter, and the unmistakable energy that has made Miranda and Parokya ni Edgar icons of the Filipino music scene.
