It was the grand OPM event most people thought wouldn't happen. But last August 30, 2008 at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field in Taguig, the quartet of Ely Buendia, Marcus Adoro, Buddy Zabala and Raimund Marasigan—collectively known as the Eraserheads—reunited for one night after six years of not playing together.

Hype, drama and other issues aside, the Eraserheads once again delivered in front of thousands of enthusiastic fans. The historical event only added more fire to the Eraserheads legendary status.

Known as the heart and soul of the Eraserheads, Ely Buendia wrote most of the band's most memorable hits during their phenomenal reign. When he left the band bitterly in 2002, Ely made a conscious effort to downplay any questions pertaining to his glorious past.

When he formed his first post-Eraserheads band, The Mongols, Ely adopted the name Jesus "Dizzy" Ventura to confuse fans and listeners—a deliberate effort to distance himself from his previous image and persona.
