Makiling is a world-music band based in the Philippines. They have been playing music together since December 1997.

The members of Makiling met during their high school days at Philippine High School for the Arts, and decided to form Makiling back in 1997. Since then, they started accepting professional gigs locally and abroad.

The music of Makiling is generally classified as world music. But the band likes to call it “Pinoy world music” for its dominant Filipino flavor mixed with influences from Indian, Celtic, Country, Oriental, Moorish, Arabic, Rock, Classical, Jazz and Latin music.

The members of Makiling are Evan Britanico (bass, vocals), Diwa de Leon (violin, hegalong), David Sicam (guitars), Otto Hernandez (percussion), and Wed Lodriga (percussion).[1]
