  The guitar signed by members of the iconic Filipino band Eraserheads was sold for ₱1.3 million in an auction. The purchase was done to help raise funds for Parokya ni Edgar’s guitarist Gab Chee Kee.

  Parokya Ni Edgar shared on social media that the individual who bought the D&D Gab Chee Kee Signature Guitar is Bryan Beran, executive producer of Circus Music Festival.

  In fact, the bidding lasted for ten days which started with a base amount of ₱50,000.

  Meanwhile, Bernan directly gave the ₱1.3 million to the accounting office of the hospital where Chee Kee was confined. He also met the members of Parokya Ni Edgar when they visited the hospital.

  In addition to this, Parokya Ni Edgar frontman Chito Miranda continues to sell some of the band’s vintage stuff. Among the items that Miranda put for bidding is the polo he used for the ‘Bagsakan’ music video. More so, it has his name, and the logo with three stars and a sun.

  He is also selling the puppets Mr. Suave and Chito Matsing seen in the ‘Halina sa Parokya’ album cover which was released in 2005.

  “Naghanap ako ng Parokya stuff na pwede ibenta to help out Gab and his family, and found these sa cabinet ko sa bahay ko sa [Quezon City],” he wrote in an Instagram post.

  “Baka may interesado kumuha. Please let me know sa comments section sa baba,” he added. “Bigay natin sa magbigay ng best offer.”

  On Tuesday, February 14, Parokya ni Edgar said Gab is now “steadily improving,” but is still in need of help. He was hospitalized due to pneumonia — a complication brought on by his lymphoma and is currently still in the ICU.
