Philip Abid (the drummer) is a second year nursing student who also plays lead guitars alongside Franz with the heavy metalband LAST FALL PILIPINAS. Philip is the natural charmer of the band. He can play the piano, guitars and drums with ease and can make you laugh out loud with his quirks.

Rico Padrones is a 2nd year college student who's natural wit and talent in dancing amazed so many people in Palawan (aside from his brilliance in playing the drums). If you want to see a guy bored with double peds, you should see this guy perform.

Jeorlie Magbanua also played the drums for some of the songs of Bulyaw Mariguen and was the sound engineer of the band during their Puerto Princesa City tour.

All of them are born in Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines and speak Cuyonon fluently.
