Meanwhile, even though he became an international celebrity, apl.de.ap has constantly made his presence felt in his homeland.

He was a judge on the Philippine edition of "The Voice Teens 2", and in 2019 he and Black Eyed Peas performed during the closing ceremonies of the Southeast Asian Games.

Overseas, he has been involved promoting Filipino culture.

Black Eyed Peas has also been recognized by award-giving bodies such as the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, the Grammys and the MTV Video Music Awards.

According to the Walk of Fame website, a date for when the group will receive its star has not been announced.
