We attended Banghayan Dos, a benefit event by Junkie Rebels Crew last February 27 at Mow’s Bar. To say the least it was a good night for the underground scene with around 300 heads in attendance.
Combining the words Banggaan (clash) + bangayan (squabble). Banghayan was founded this year (2025).
The event consists of rap battles alongside freestyle rap, live bands and hip-hop, spoken poetry, and pop-ups for young creatives and other underground artists.
Host and organizer, Dave Opiniano rocking the 'MNL' Hunter Camo S/B.Here's what happened throughout the night
