Instead of the usual write up that accompanies a memorable 18^th birthday celebration, Your Roving Eye is giving the celebrant a chance to express her gratitude to everyone who made her special day extraordinary. 

“ I would like to thank everyone who took part in the preparations for my debut and to everyone who came and celebrated with me on my special day. Thank you to Miss Epz Jamila Relampagos and her team for my hair and make-up, every look you did on me was great and it was aesthetic. Thank you to Bohol’s super talented & visionary designer EJ Relampagos for my beautiful gowns which made me look and feel more beautiful.

Cebu’s U.K. Lily to Rock Coclea Lounge Bar on Oct. 27!

William Shakespeare once said, "If music be the food of love, play on." This is what the band U.K. LILY lives by. Their love for life and music.

Formed in the early millennium, 2003 to be exact, the band still plays music to this date. A collective of musicians of different genres from 80's and 90's pop, new wave, rock, reggae and more, they all have one thing in common which is playing music with verve and passion. 

Chad Canares & the rest of UK Lily unleashes 

their musicality & showmanship on October 27

Injecting their own individual feel into the songs they play, it is unmistakable that U.K. LILY's music projects their life and the music they perform. The band members also play for other famous and equally successful bands in Cebu making U.K. LILY an all star ensemble. 

They are Chad Cañares –Vocals (Roots), Balir Kabahar – Drummer (Sheila and the Insects), Benjie Fernandez – Guitars (Sheila and the Insects), Jeremy Custodio – Bass (Herbs), and Lloyd Escario – Guitars (Johnnie and the Walkers). 

And mind you, Chad Cañares is no ordinary talent for he once served as Vice Mayor of the Municipality of Bantayan in the Province of Cebu.
