MANILA, Philippines — Original Pinoy Music (OPM) rock icon Ely Buendia revealed the story behind the hit song “Spoliarium,” 24 years since it was first heard on the radio. "'Spoliarium' is one of those cases where really the myth has sort of taken over the facts and I kinda like it. Ely said that the song inspired by Juan Luna’s painting is one of his most favorite Eraserheads songs. But that’s one of those songs that I’m really proud of. You know, I’m really proud of it if I sing it live all the time," he said.
