What Nonoy thinks of today's OPM
Manila Bulletin
|August 22, 2025
Nonoy Zuñiga is proud to say he’s got dual citizenship, someone lucky enough to wave two discount cards in restaurants or drug stores. One for senior citizen, another for person with disability.
“I use them both, depending on which one comes out first from my wallet,” the veteran singer tells us during a phone interview August 14.
Nonoy lost part of his leg in a freak bombing accident in October 1980 at the former Philippine Plaza Hotel. Then a member of a band that played nightly in the hotel’s Siete Pecados bar, he was lucky enough to be able to turn the unfortunate incident into an opportunity.
Nonoy now considers the accident a blessing in disguise, opening amazing doors for him as a solo artist. Only months after the accident, he landed a recording contract. What followed was a series of hit songs that resonate to young and old to this day.
Never Ever Say Goodbye. Doon Lang. Kumusta Ka. Love without Time. Among many others.
