Siakol
Siakol is a Filipino rock band formed in 1994 in Parañaque City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
The band is one of the several groups that spearheaded the 1990s Philippine alternative rock explosion and is known for their hit songs "Lakas Tama", "Peksman", "Kanto", "Biyaheng Impyerno" and "Bakit Ba". Founded in 1994 by Noel Palomo, Wowie Flores, Oyie Bunao, Miniong Cervantes, and Wally Gaspar, the band was a prominent fixture of the Tunog Kalye era and was especially popular among college and high school students across the Philippines during the '90s.
Since 2020, two factions from the original lineup have been in an ongoing dispute over the ownership rights to the name "Siakol". Both Noel Palomo and Miniong Cervantes announced their departure from the band, leaving Wowie Flores as the sole remaining original member. Palomo subsequently formed a new band, which he initially called "Repakol" but later also began to refer to as "Siakol", escalating tensions with Flores. Cervantes later joined Palomo's group. The ownership dispute over the name is currently under review by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.
