Her love-team pairing in Dear Heart with Regal Films heartthrob, Gabby Concepcion made the team the most popular love team in Philippine Movies during the 1980's. They later married (at age 19) in a civil ceremony then a Church wedding on September 23, 1984 with former President Ferdinand Marcos as Principal Sponsor (Ninong); however, the marriage did not last.

Rico J was discovered by Vicor executives when he was 22 years old. His
first hit was "Love Won't Let Me Wait" released through the Sunshine Label,where he introduced a novelty he became famous for -- substituting Tagalog lyrics in singing foreign hits. He was named Most Promising Entertainer of the Year in the Aliw Awards after one year in the musi industry. He was chosen Entertainer of the Year by the same award-giving body in 1977.
His top three selling albums are "The Way We Were," "Rico J. Puno," and "Spirit of Christmas." Rico’s first solo performance at the CCP entitled "Rico in Concert" with the Manila Symphony Orchestra made him the leading pop singer in the Philippines; while his concerts in Araneta Coliseum and his American tour in 1978 broke records in audience attendance. At one point, he was even the highest paid performer in the Philippines. His trademark voice and new approach in the Pinoy pop sound was compared to such American classic stars as Elvis Presley and Sammy Davis yet it was uniquely his own. Puno is known as "The Total Performer" who appeals to all kinds of audiences.
His biggest hit singles include: "The Way We Were," "Kapalaran," "Magkasuyo Buong Gabi," "May Bukas Pa," "Macho Guapito," "Together, Forever."

From Wikipedia:

Eraserheads was one of the most popular Pop/Rock bands in the Philippines, formed in the late 1980s and disbanded in 2002. Many music journalists and music enthusiasts regard the band as The Beatles of the Philippines because of their creative songwriting, catchy lyrics, and willingness to experiment with various styles of music. The Eraserheads was also regarded as the band that opened the commercial doors for other aspiring Filipino Rock bands. The band's debut album, Ultraelectromagneticpop, released in 1993 by BMG Records, was a commercial success, leading the way to the eventual breakthrough of many fellow artists like Parokya ni Edgar, Rivermaya, and Yano. It also brought band-based music into mass awareness.
Many of their fans fondly call them E-heads.
