Ni Miguel R. Camus

NAGBABALAK ang Department of Transportation and

Communications (DOTC) na maglagay ng mga bus na
bibiyahe mula Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) at magdadala sa mga kadarating na mga pasahero
sa hindi bababa na apat na siyudad sa Metro Manila.
Sa ilalim ng plano, na ipatutupad na sa taong ito, tutungo
ang mga bus sa Makati, Mall of
Asia sa Pasay, sa Bonifacio Global City sa Taguig, at Ortigas
center sa Pasig, ayon sa tagapagsalita ng DOTC na si
Michael Sagcal.
For arriving airline passengers, the first trip is getting
from the airport to their homes,
hotels and business centers. We
are expanding their options to
modern buses, so they will not

have to rely on taxis alone. This

is part of our bus reform program, which will improve passenger safety and convenience,
sabi ni Transportation Secretary
Joseph Abaya sa isang pahayag
nitong Martes.
These higher-capacity vehicles will benefit not only travelers and tourists but also airport

employees and greeters. We

hope that with more efficient
use of road space, this will help
ease traffic congestion around
airports as well, dagdag pa ni
Abaya.
Susunod sa isang iskedyul
ang takbo mga airport bus at

can cut down travel time, sabi
ni Abaya.

Party like its 1999

By Allan Policarpio

HANDFUL of songs into the

Backstreet Boys recent Manila
concert, the groups tall, goateed bass vocalist, Kevin Richardson,
posed a question to the crowd. Do you
all want to take a trip down memory
lane with us and party like its 1999?

The final years of

the 1990s, of course,
were the glory days of
teen pop, which then
inundated the airwaves with platitudes
about love and friendship set to catchy, burnished melodies. Boy
bands were warring
kings; Britney Spears,
the undisputed queen.
And on Saturday

mornings, you tune in

to MTV to find out if
their new singles were
within striking distance
of the No. 1 spot.
On that night, Nick
Carter, Brian Littrell,
AJ McLean, Howie
Dorough and Richardsonby just standing
side by side onstagebrought memories of that music

era rushing back to

the thousands of
screaming 90s kids
that filled SM Mall of
Asia Arena to the
rafters, to be part of
the bands In a World
Like This world tour.
After solid performances from the front
act, young singer Tippy Dos Santos, Backstreet Boys emerged
onstage to the strains
of Everybody, marching
in a deliberate cadence
and shuffling to position, before launching
into the R&B and hiphop-inflected dance
tune The Call.
And before long,
people were partying

like it was, indeed,

1999. Now, if we
could only part our
hair straight down the
middle and put on a
pair of baggy pants.
The boys are now
men, and have
ditched their oversized football jerseys
for form-fitting, dark
blue suits. Their hairlines are a little higher; their bodies a little
bit softer. But the
membersnow in
their late 30s and early 40swere still
goofy and silly as ever.
Carter looked like
he had just downed a
few bottles of energy
drink, spinning

around, gyrating and

thrusting his hips in a
manner thats cringeworthy and riotous all
at once. And Littrell,
midway through a
performance, couldnt
stop himself from
busting out the jig.
And much to everyones delight, the boys
were all praise for
Manny Pacquiao, and
called for a rematch
against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The five performers arent spring
chickens anymore,
but that didnt mean
they couldnt pull off
those sweeping,
smooth and oh-socheesy dance choreography found in the
music videos of songs
like All I Have to Give.
The harmonizing and
the doo-wop vibe in
the pop-R&B hit were
still on point, but it
was extra-comforting
to see that the group
still has that signature
hat-smoothing move
down pat.

New material
The boys, who
likewise revealed that
theyll be returning to
the recording studio
soon to work on their

ninth album, didnt

neglect such new material as Show Em
(What Youre Made
Of), Madeleine and In
a World Like This.
However, its still the
older favorites that
unfailingly elicited
the most fervent of
sing-along sessions.
Almost everyone in
the venue looked to be
in their 20s and 30s,
as if they screamed for
the Backstreet Boys as
hard as teenagers do
now for One Direction. And it doesnt
matter if youve outgrown the type of music they do, or have
moved onto listening
to those cooler indie
bands. When the
group performs As
Long As You Love Me,
Show Me the Meaning
of Being Lonely and
Shape of My Heart,
you belt out the verses, choruses, bridge,
second voices and
heck, even hum the
instrumental breaks.
The band, which
was formed in Orlando, Florida, back in
1993, has always
prided itself on being
more than just
cutesythey regard

Boyz II Men as inspiration, and could, actually, blend their

voices really well.
Thus, they always
get out of their way to
prove just that during
concerts. This time,
they sang a cappella
versions of Drowning
and 10,000 Promises,
which had the members playing instruments. Littrell, the
most imposing singer
of the five and the
one who sings lead
most of the time,
could still hit impressive high notes from
time to time. McLeans
husky and dramatic
tone, meanwhile, was
still very much intact.
The Backstreet
Boys ended the show,
mounted by Ovation
Productions, by dishing out two of the
bands most thumping
pop-dance bangers,
Everybody and Larger
than Life. Earlier,
Carter said that he
wanted the crowd to
act like they were 15
years old. And looking
at how the revelers
danced and sang their
hearts out, it did seem
like no one grew up a
day older than that.
