Val Sotto of VST and Co.

It was truly a wonderful occasion as we celebrate Chinese New Year's day yesterday. Tony and Me met Mr. Val Sotto of VST and Co. in person. They were my favorite band during my time. Who would not remember Rock Baby Rock? That was the most favorite song and dance number during my High School years. I easily remember the joy with my group "Barkadas" at all times, basta sinabing "Group Dancing" it's Rock Baby Rock, hawak sa baywang and just sway left and right and walk forward with your knees half bend. VST songs are truly one of the best.
