P.O.T. was a Filipino
rock band, formed in 1996 and disbanded in 2005. The band is fronted by Karl
Roy who also fronted the bands Advent Call and Kapatid. The group is famous for
their 1997 remake of the song "Yugyugan Na", originally performed by
The Philippine Advisors in 1977. The band held their reunion concert on July
22, 2006 at the 70s Bistro in Quezon City.
The initials of the
band name P.O.T. is a pseudo-acronym, declaring that it has no meaning at all
or as what Karl Roy stated in an interview, fans of the band can freely decide
in making up any meanings that fit the initials.
On March 13, 2012, Karl
Roy reportedly died due to cardiac arrest. Hours after his death, Roy became
the top trending topic on Twitter Philippines.
