Hagibis (Filipino word meaning "velocity", "speed"[1] or 'swiftness") is a Filipino disco group best known for their macho image, on-stage costumes, and macho songs about women. Originally formed by Juan dela Cruz Band singer and bassist Mike Hanopol and Vic del Rosario,[2][3] they are cited as the "first boyband in the Philippines"[4] and later were called the "Village People of the Philippines",[5] a title they still hold to this day.[6] Their original line-up was composed of Sonny Parsons, Bernie Fineza, Mike Respall, Joji Garcia and Mon Picazo.
