<p>After more than four decades of performing as one-third of the iconic OPM group APO Hiking Society, Boboy Garrovillo shared how he felt about headlining the concert All Heart this year.</p><p>He revealed that it has been a decade since they last performed on Valentine’s Day.</p><p>“We chose the sweetest, &#x27;yung pinakamalagkit songs (laughs). There are so many other people with love songs that will serenade you that night. This is an all-heart tribute to all the lovers out there,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;It’s our first Valentine after the COVID season and puwede na magmahalan. Puwede na umupo at puwede na rin maghalikan at magyakapan, mag-holding hands. Suot nila &#x27;yung maskara at yung guwantes, puwede rin. Basta naka-antigen ka, okay (laughs),” he jokingly added.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CocROP0A5rA/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A4005308%2C%22ls%22%3A2804032.199999988%2C%22le%22%3A2804036.800000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/9/18/fresh-scoops/watch-apo-hiking-societys-jim-paredes-boboy-gar-188291"><strong>READ: APO Hiking Society’s Jim Paredes, Boboy Garovillo reunite, release new song<br/></strong></a></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn22YZtSNm0/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A4005327.5%2C%22ls%22%3A2804032.199999988%2C%22le%22%3A2804036.800000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="693" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>During the All Heart press conference held earlier this month, the 71-year-old performer was asked how he would describe love in his life.</p><p>“Of course pag may edad ka na katulad namin, ang sinasabi nila love is &#x27;yung kasama mo &#x27;yung pamilya mo at mga kaibigan mo.

So nag-uusap nga kami ni Jim ngayon. Iniisip namin na one show in the future, gagawin namin &#x27;yung mga never heard songs namin. &#x27;Yung mga songs namin na baka this time pag narinig niyo maisip niyo, ‘Ay o nga ano, bakit hindi nag-hit yan?’ &#x27;Yun ang gusto namin maitanong sa mga manunuod namin. &#x27;Yun &#x27;yung mga “misses” &#x27;yung mga hindi nag-hit.
