Max Surban earned his title as the King of Visayan Songs, with 33 albums and Gold and Platinum Awards to his name. Some of his top-selling albums are “Magparetoki,” “Gihidlaw na Intawon Ako,” Dobol Trobol” (with Yoyoy Villame), “Nabali ang Krismas Tri,” and a muslim song entitled, “Baleleng” which means “sweetheart.” Not only he won the hearts of the Cebuanos but Max Surban also earned a lot of respect from his peers especially the Cebuano artists and bands, Missing Filemon is one of them, who looked up to him as the icon of the Bisaya music industry.
