Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on November 02, 1970)

Happy birthday, Ely Buendia! You're officially another year cooler—though honestly, after penning timeless hits like "Ang Huling El Bimbo" and rocking stages with Eraserheads and Pupil alike, we're not sure how that's even possible. Your music has been the soundtrack to countless road trips, karaoke nights gone hilariously wrong (sorry neighbors!), and nostalgic moments we can't quite remember clearly—but hey—that's rock 'n' roll!

Here's wishing you more epic guitar solos that defy age limits—and fewer awkward fan selfies at grocery stores. Keep inspiring generations of Pinoy rockers; your legacy is louder than ever. Rock on forever!
