History

Formation and early years

Originally named Comic Relief, the band's initial members were a group of high school students composed of vocalists Chito Miranda, Jeric Estaco, and Vinci Montaner, along with guitarists Mikko Yap and Gab Chee Kee, all hailing from Ateneo de Manila University. They were regulars in after-school jam sessions, before performing an opening number for an Eraserheads concert. This served as their break in the music industry and prompted them to add a drummer and bassist – Ateneo schoolmate Dindin Moreno and Miranda's childhood friend Buwi Meneses, respectively. Around the same time they changed the band's name to Parokya ni Edgar. After high school, Mikko and Jeric withdrew from the band to pursue other interests. Soon after, the remaining band members invited Darius Semaña, Meneses's former bandmate, to take the role of lead guitar.

2013 Filipino film

My Little Bossings (also known as Torky and My Little Bossings) is a 2013 Philippine comedy film directed by Marlon Rivera, starring Vic Sotto, Kris Aquino, Ryzza Mae Dizon, and Bimby Yap. An official entry for the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival, the film released in theaters nationwide on December 25, 2013, and was produced by OctoArts Films, M-Zet Productions, APT Entertainment, and Kris Aquino Productions.

The film also marks Bimby Yap Jr.'s theatrical debut, and also the last film appearance of comedian Tado Jimenez, who died in a bus accident on February 7, 2014, at the age of 39.

The film broke box-office records in the Philippines upon its nationwide release in theaters, holding the highest opening day record of ₱50.5 million. It previously held the title of being the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time until it was broken by Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy. Despite this, the film received generally negative reviews from critics, owing to its extensive use of product placement and lack of production value.

A sequel to the film was made, to which Sotto initially hinted in an interview, and was released in Christmas 2014 as one of the official entries for the 40th Metro Manila Film Festival.
