Farewell Yoyoy Villame
« on: May 21, 2007, 08:17:56 PM »

Philippine Daily Inquirer



MANILA, Philippines
-- Novelty singer and comedian Roman “Yoyoy” Villame died Friday afternoon of an apparent heart attack, some five hours after being rushed to the Las Piñas Medical Center complaining of chest pains, hospital staff and family members said.

Dr Joel Santos, who worked the morning shift, administered cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on Villame shortly after he was helped into the hospital’s emergency room around 9 a.m. He was pronounced dead due to cardio-pulmonary arrest.

Born in 1938, Villame was a former jeepney (minibus) and bus driver from the island province of Bohol and is best known for his comedic antics, as well as his Tagalog and Visayan novelty songs.

One of his songs, the popular “Mag-exercise Tayo,” hit the charts in 1977. He also composed the cutesy tongue twister "Butse Kik."

His first recording entitled Magellan (1972), “was the beginning of a long span of albums and recordings of Yoyoy’s humorous yet politically relevant songs in Visayan, Tagalog and English that was uniquely his own style,” said the Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit in its Online Registry of Filipino Musical Artists.

Dubbed "The Novelty King," Villame recorded more than 40 albums in his career as a singer.

He also starred in several movies during the 1970s, including "Biktima" and "Limasawa". Villame last starred in the critically-acclaimed movie "Ang Babae sa Breakwater."

His nephew, Bernard Villame, recalled his uncle as a very generous fellow who helped him and his children in dire times.

"He gave Jeffrey, one of my sons, a tricycle because my son worked for him as a driver," Bernard said.

His nephew also used to work on Villame’s staff when he was still a city councilor. "Every time I needed assistance, he gave it," Bernard said in Filipino.

Villame was a former councilor of Las Piñas City, having been elected in 1988. His nephew, Bernard Villame, said his uncle served for 10 years as councilor. He ran in 1995 as vice mayor but lost.

"He planned to ran again as councilor this year, but he backed out," Bernard told the Philippine Daily Inquirer, parent company of INQUIRER.net.

Bernard said his uncle was a funny man even off-stage. During parties, he would sing and poke fun at himself -- "up to the point of making visitors pee in their pants from laughter."

At the time of his death, Villame lived at the Doña Josefa Subdivision in Pilar Village, Las Piñas City.

He is survived by his children Hannah, who is also a singer; Apple, Olivia, Roman Jr., Lillian and John.

My apologies if I spill an explicit tint (as usual) in this dark-hued state of Yoyoy's demise. I'd paint it green... hmmm... When I was in fourth grade, I end up getting a hard on just  by listening to his song "Bayle tibuok kalibutan." The melody is a major turn on. Thanks Yoyoy for rousing my virility.[/color]

Yikes! Gettin' a hard-on while in 4th grade over 'Bayle Tibuok Kalibutan.' Had it not been for Tubag Bohol, I wouldn't have known this part of my husband's lil boy secrets.

P.S. Paul, kindly lemme know first before everyone else in Tubag Bohol does. Or else, I'll sing the song, "Please, don't let me be the last to know...." I'm so afraid of your coming revelations, you have never stopped shocking me with all the ten years of sleeping with you in the same bed.

Dear Rose,

Loving is knowing. Knowing is loving. When you love someone, you always want to know about this person.

For example: manghuling sa password sa laptop, managna sa password sa Yahoo Messenger, mang-google sa pangalan sa kapikas sa kinabuhi, ug mamawi ug cellphone.  ;D

I can still memorize the lyrics. I was still a young boy then and I had no idea how it felt "nga makakamras sa hawak sa dalaga."

Pag edad nako ug trese anyos o katorse ba to, misulay ko aning bayle. I remember nagtsinelas lang ko: dili pa uso ang sapatos sauna.

Kay lagi wa man ko masayod unsay patakaran aning bayle, nakahinumdum ko nga ang akong mga kamot didto nako gipansak sa ilawom sa sinina sa babaye.

Nisabot ra intawon pud ang babaye kay magulang man siya nako, ug angay sabton ang "first timer." Mipahiyom lang siya nako.

Many years later, that woman became a friend of my sister, and there was one time that she narrated to my sister the detailed journey of my hands under her shirt.

Sa tibuok nakong kinabuhi, kaduha lang ko nakapamayle, ug ang ikaduhang hugna.... that's another story...

He can give me his password. But who knows? Anyone can make his nth account in 5 seconds. So the answer is: Let's plant keyloggers.
