One of the most popular OPM bands is the New and Enhanced AEGIS Band, now graced by 7 members – six girls and a man, whom the girls tease as already being like one of them (of course, they’re just kidding).

The band has truly become a family after years of shared experiences: making music, traveling to foreign shores, sharing rooms, food, stories and lives. But more than simply being family, due to the potpourri of native roots within the band the AEGIS members also seem to represent the the three major islands of the Philippines. Original members Juliet and Mercy Sunot (lead vocalists) and their youngest sister and newest member of AEGIS, Kris Sunot, come from Cagayan de Oro. Stella Maries Galindo-Pabico is from Misamis Occidental, Vilma Goloviogo from Manila, bass guitarist Rowena ‘Weng’ Pinpin-Adriano is a Pampagueña, and Rey Abenoja, the lone male member, hails from Southern Leyte.

Formerly known as AG’s Sound Trippers (AG’s being the name of their manager’s company), the group opted to shorten the name to AG’s or AEGIS. Since the literary meaning of AEGIS is ‘Shield’ or ‘Protection,’ the group feels the name expresses what they want to share with their listeners and what they hope listeners feel when hearing their songs: the sense of being ‘protected’ and ‘shielded’ from being lonely. Most of the songs the members of AEGIS chose for their album are love songs; they hope that lovers will take from their songs a sense of protection from being lonely and broken-hearted.

The success this Pinoy band achieved on local shores has opened opportunities for them to share their music with Filipinos and foreigners alike, and they have toured the USA, Canada, Europe, the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, UAE, Saipan, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan. For as long as there are Filipinos and fans anywhere in the world who long for great music and entertainment, AEGIS will be there to provide it.
