Additional Historical Information
A partial reunion of the original lineup of the Juan Dela Cruz Band occurred in the summer of 1974, under the name, Cara Y Cruz, which formed to participate in the National Battle Of The Bands event (sponsored by RC Cola). The nom de guerre was perhaps utilized to circumvent a technicality that only unsigned bands were eligible to participate in the competition. They made two performances: at the Araneta Center (on an improvised stage behind the Araneta Coliseum); and at "Jam Park", a vacant lot leased for the multi-part event in the Makati area, situated alongside the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). The nearly-reconstituted band consisted of Wally Gonzalez (guitar), Sonny Tolentino (bass guitar), Edmund Fortuno (drums), Bing Labrador (organ), Alex Cruz (saxophones & flute), with Jacqui Magno (vocals). Ironically, the group progressed only up until the semi-finals phase of the Battle Of The Bands, after which they again disbanded.

“We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
