Former front man of popular band Eraserheads Ely Buendia said that he is now in good condition.

In an interview, Buendia who is the current lead vocalist of band Pupil said that he thanks the Lord for extending his life after he underwent an angioplasty last September 1 following the shortened Eraserheads' reunion concert last August 30.
 
Buendia experienced chest pains and reportedly collapsed backstage after the first set of the long-awaited reunion concert held at the Fort Bonifacio Open Field in Taguig City on August 30. He was transferred to the Philippine Heart Center (PHC) the next day after being treated at the Makati Medical Center's emergency room.
 
“Awa ng Diyos buhay pa ako…ang angioplasty ay successful naman,” he said.
 
Buendia who failed to complete the concert reunion said that he still does not know if a repeat of the concert would be possible.
 
“Hindi ko alam, wala pang ping-uusapan,” he briefly answered.
 
The singer said that he spends his time resting but added that is ready anytime to do some gigs with his band Pupil.
 
“The band is still there and I will be joining them next, next week for a few gigs,” he said.
 
Buendia shared that his doctor already gave him a go signal that he could go back to performing.
 
“Siyempre dapat may blessing niya, sabi niya yes na, okay na daw ako,” he said.
 
The singer who still wants to keep his passion – performing with his band - said that he keeps on hoping that what transpired during the ‘E-heads’ reunion concert would not happen again.
 
“Hopefully hindi na mangyari ‘yong ganoong situation,” Buendia ended.
