South Border is a Filipino pop and R&B band formed in the early 1990s that gained widespread recognition in the music scene in the mid 1990s to the 2000s.
It included a Jimmy Antiporda song entitled "May Pag-Ibig Pa Kaya" which they interpreted in the Metro Manila Pop Music Festival earlier that year.
Not long after in the midst of a flourishing career, South Border found itself in the eye of a storm which called for a conspicuous change in their lineup.
It featured "Sa 'Yo", a haunting ballad that spoke of a heart's yearning for a loved one and "Reborn", South Border's first attempt at recording an instrumental piece reminiscent of their early jazz influences.
At the turn of the new millennium, the band once again made waves with the success of "Habang Atin ang Gabi", the theme song from La Vida Rosa, a Rosanna Roces-Diether Ocampo film produced by Star Cinema, and later from Misibis Bay, a Ritz Azul drama series on TV5.
The lyrics were written by scriptwriter Armando Lao and the music was composed by Jay Durias, who considers this song to be one of his best compositions and arrangements to date.
The younger Ramos on the other hand was a child prodigy — a singing and dancing wonder boy from Cebu who often accompanied Gary Valenciano on his shows and tours all over the country.
Episode III[1] was a big commercial success that included the hits "The Show" and "Brown Hand Smash" — two songs that gave the group an edgier, danceable R&B sound.
