Al Dimalanta Biography

Al Dimalanta is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on September 3, 1969 in Manila, Manila, Philippines. Al and half- brother Jay Dimalanta formed Dead Ends in 1985 with drummer Rouen Pascual. The band came out with four independently produced underground punk albums from 1985-1995 as well as a fifth special edition greatest hits album in 2003. Dead Ends had several line-up changes but Al (on vocals and guitar) and Jay (on bass) remained as the band’s core.

Al Dimalanta also taught at the Faculty of Arts and Letters (AB) of the University of Santo Tomas from 1993 to 2008. During this time, he taught public relations, marketing, integrated marketing communication, advertising, feature writing, and English. Dimalanta is credited to have spearheaded the public relations program in the university’s AB Journalism course. It was upon his recommendation that public relations instruction was offered to journalism majors starting in 1993 (previously, public relations was only offered to Mass Communication/Communication Arts majors). His recommendation stemmed from the belief that a thorough knowledge of PR would help journalism graduates in their work as media practitioners, particularly when interacting with corporate communicators. He also believed that the subject would give journalism graduates added options in terms of post-college work. Public relations continues to be part of the Faculty’s Journalism curriculum. Dimalanta left UST in 2008 to pursue a public relations project in Singapore. When Al came back to the country, he started doing freelance PR and editorial consultancy work.

In 2000, Al Dimalanta reformed Throw as the band’s vocalist and chief songwriter, with Dennis Maniego on bass, Ojie Arcega on drums and Bimboi San Pedro on guitar. This was to be the official start of Al’s new hardcore punk band. Throw (band) went on to record its first independently produced album one year later (2001), a self-titled hardcore release (THROW) that marked the official return of Dimalanta to the local punk scene.

While teaching in AB, Dimalanta concurrently served as the PR and Marketing Officer of the UST Center for Creative Writing and Studies (CCWS), from 2003-2007. He worked under the helm of his mother, then CCWS director (and later UST writer-in-residence) and renowned poet Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta.

During those four years, Al tried putting up a band with Lourd de Veyra, who was a member of Dead Ends in the 1990s (only for the band’s fourth album, Mamatay sa Ingay). The band was tentatively named Throw, although the band was rather short-lived on account of Al’s and Lourd’s respective jobs at the time and never even played beyond a few rehearsal sessions.
