Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on December 31, 1971)

Happy birthday, Marcus Adoro! May your day be filled with more riffs than candles on your cake and fewer broken guitar strings than ever before. From the legendary days of "Pare Ko" to the timeless charm of "Ang Huling El Bimbo," you've rocked our worlds and made us believe that alternative rock is forever young.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as those unforgettable Eraserheads reunion concerts—packed stadiums, screaming fans, and zero wardrobe malfunctions. Keep strumming life's chords with humor and style; after all these years, you're still hitting every note perfectly (well...almost). Rock on!
