Angelito Toledo "Hajji" Alejandro (Tagalog: [ˈhadʒɪ ɐlɛˈhandɾɔ]; born December 26, 1954) is a Filipino singer and actor from Alaminos, Pangasinan, who was a major pop star in the 1970s and 1980s.
[1] Just like another OPM legend Basil Valdez, he came from the group Circus Band.
Dubbed the "kilabot ng mga kolehiyala" (college girls' heartthrob), Alejandro is best remembered for songs such as "Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika", "Panakíp Butas" and "Nakapagtataka".
[citation needed] In 1986, Alejandro and his then-partner Rio Diaz campaigned for the reelection of president Ferdinand Marcos in the 1986 snap election, with the two continuing to support him even after his deposition in the People Power Revolution.
