The Fil-Am rapper posted on social media sites Facebook and Instagram a “sneak peek” of his blue-and-yellow “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” jeepney .

Apl.de.Ap, whose real name as Alan Pineda Lindo, was one of the notable performers who graced the annual event at the Madison Square. He also posted snaps and videos of the patriotic spirit on social media. Gianna Francesca Catolico
