MANILA, Philippines – International Filipino-American performer Allan Pineda, better known as Apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas, is currently in the country to fulfill a promise and to 'give back' to his fellow Cabalens.

On Tuesday, Pineda went to Sapang Bato National High School in Angeles, Pampanga to donate a music library and a computer room.

Pineda said he makes it his mission to help aspiring young Pinoy talents follow in his footsteps.

Sapang Bato National High School is where Pineda had his elementary education.

Earlier this year, Pineda visited the Philippines and worked on improving schools in his native province of Pampanga through the Apl.de.ap Foundation, his joint project with President Benigno Aquino III.

“We try to add extra classrooms in the Philippines. I’m also excited about my new school in Pampanga. There’s a computer lab for kids where that they can use for free and learn about computers,” he said. – Report from Marie Lozano, ABS-CBN News
