Often confused with Boy Mondragon ("Rain gently falls..."), Efren Montes was a child star in the Seventies who, according to one of many trivia listings that are forwarded via email, remade the song "Kiss Me, Kiss Me." As a child actor, Efren was a regular in Channel 9's family sitcom Padre de Pamilya, whose cast was headed by then Tisoy lead, now radio commentator, Jimmy Morato.

Later, Efren would attend a training school for music and in 1981, join his first band, The Amicables. His singing career brought him around the Philippines and gigs in Guam, Bahrain, Saipan, Thailand, Japan and Hong Kong. He joined touring bands like A-Live in 1993 and Chorus Gold in 1996. He also produced videokes.
