News Cafe Episode 93: The Life and Times of Jim Paredes

Take a peek into the brilliant mind of the inimitable Jim Paredes - musician, writer, teacher, photographer, best known as one-third of the APO Hiking Society - as we talk music, politics, family, and what it means to live life fully.

I wish more pinoy celebrities can talk with sense like Jim Paredes. You might not agree with his politics, or you might even be unfamiliar with APO's music (although if you grew up in the Philippines, I can't imagine how that could be possible) but you have to admit that Jim makes a lot of sense, and he is very articulate. His passion for his art, for his family, and for his country is very admirable. Listening to this interview is like having coffee with an old friend. His answers are heartfelt, honest, and never trite.
I also like the house where they shot this interview. The capiz and colored glass windows look very interesting.

A no non-sense person with a strong principle in life.

@23:00 How real OPM started. Real OPM songs of the 70s are so inspirational and timeless to this day and will continue to be in the future. Specially the APO Hiking music. Mabuhay ang APO- Danny, Jim and Boboy !!

[@arnborj]

I wish APO members could continue to write new songs for younger generation to enjoy even with the group's conscientious demise. I also highly applaud Miss Mitzi Borromeo's intellectual and professional journalism. I consider you as the best in your field. I hope we could listen more with this kind of broadcasting and enough of that nonsense showbiz talk shows. "Duh?" & "Queen?" and their likes/wannabees should be all contempt!
