On this page will be posted Cebuano Rock Music composed, performed and arranged by my brother, Insoy, lead singer and band leader of Missing Filemon. In 2002. after its creation, Misssing Filemon immediately proceeded to the studio to record original Cebuano songs that Insoy Ninal (vocals, guitar) had written weeks earlier.

The time the band worked on their songs, there was no group yet in Cebu and anywhere else that wrote and recorded an album’s worth of rock songs in Cebuano. The band members knew they were doing something different, and were unsure if the Cebuano crowd would accept their music.

The band came out with its debut album in 2003. The album was self-titled, but the band’s followers in Cebu and other Bisaya-speaking regions in the country eventually came to call the album as the “Suroy-Suroy” album, referring to the title of its carrier single, “Suroy-Suroy.”

In 2008, the band received its first national award. The song “Sine-Sine” won as Best Movie Theme Song in that year’s FAMAS Awards, besting compositions by Noel Cabangon and Mike Hanopol, among other big names in the country’s music industry.

As most other Bisrock bands faded from the scene, Missing Filemon continues to do what it does best, rock n rolling the Bisaya way.

ULAN - Matahum Nga Cebu

This is my nephew Ulan Ecko watching the music video of the song that his Tatay Insoy co-wrote, 'Matahum Nga Cebu'.
The sight of a son enjoying the work of his father is simply awesome.
