Could there be an Eraserheads reunion?

All 4 members of the icon Filipino band posted the same cryptic image on their social media, could this the long awaited Eraserheads reunion that we have been waiting for? Eraserheads Frontman Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala (bass), Marcus Adoro (lead guitar) and Raymund Marasigan (drummer) all posted on their IG account an image of the band’s logo – a backwards “E” – at around the same time.

Ely Buendia and Raymund Marasigan did not include any caption, while Buddy Zabala included “Let me hear you sing it.” – a line from their hit song with a Smile; Marcus Adoro on the other hand posted “Et me er u eng et” which more or less means nothing or a lot depending on how to decode it.

It’s anyone’s guess on what their posts means and I’m betting that this could be Ely fulfilling his promise that there will an Eheads reunion when then VP Leni run for public office.
