October 19 was the second day of the PNSH, and PiliSkapinas once again hosted Skamax! over at The Spot, it was a great night that welcomed new groups into the fold. Great performances from all the bands on the bill  that included Rude Diments, Nyte in Tunesia, The Ewoks, The Monsoons, Shuffle Union. It also marked the comeback of the boss sounds of Rocket Punch!  Alab Project also launched the new Shuffle Union t-shirt design that sported baybayin text.

The following night, October 20, all Ska and Reggae afficionados trooped to south for the 3rd Mall of Asia Ska and Reggae Festival, at the MOA Veranda that gathered a host of top Ska and Reggae acts. Our thanks to Martin (Collie Herb), the organizers for inviting us to this wonderful event,and the bands for the great music! I'm sure everyone enjoyed some serious dancing on stage!

By sheer coincidence, October 20 also marked the day that Manila (3rd MoA Ska and Reggae Fest), Cebu City (Ska Nite), and Cagayan de Oro (Enjoy Yourself) hosted related events simultaneously, hence the announcement of the Philippine National Ska Holiday (Oct 18-20, 2012). View more photos here
