IN PHOTOS: Remember Paco Arespacochaga of '80s pop-rock band 'Introvoys?'
In the 1980s, a pop-rock band was making hit after hit thanks to their music, which became the hymn of the Filipino youth of the decade.
That certain band is none other than INTRoVOYS, formed by 3rd-G Cristobal, Jonathan Buencamino, and Paco Arespacochaga in Manila in 1986.
Throughout the height of their fame, they released many songs that defined the music of the decade, which included the hits, “Will I Survive,” “'Di Na Ako Aasa Pa,” “Stay,” and “Are You Happy,” which achieved quadruple platinum status, earning the group the tag “The No. 1 Band in the Land.”
While names come and go in this band, there's one in particular that stood among the rest and that's none other than drummer Paco Arespacochaga.
Paco, or Enrico Luis Victor Santos Arespacochaga in real life, is a songwriter and musician of INTRoVOYS.
He made headlines in the past thanks to his relationship with actress Geneva Cruz in the '90s.
Today, Paco has already migrated to the United States after the group's successful tour in the country and continues to make music with the band from there.
He is now married to Janelle Aguirre and resides in California with their five children Heaven, Caelen, Raiden, Chase, and Cassidy.
Take a look at his life as a member of INTRoVOYS, as a father, and as a husband in this gallery:
