Hagibis (meaning "rapidity", "velocity", or "speed" in Tagalog) is one of the first comic book heroes in the history of komiks in the Philippines. Hagibis was created in 1947 by Francisco V. Coching, a Filipino comic book artist and illustrator who is considered as the “father" or "grandfather” of Filipino komiks. Tarzan-like in appearance, the form of Hagibis had also been based on another early Filipino comic book hero, namely Kulafu who was created by another pioneer Filipino comic book artist, Francisco Reyes. Hagibis became one of the longest running serials in the history of Filipino comic books, which was featured for fifteen years in the pages of Liwayway magazine. An example story about Hagibis that appeared in Liwayway magazine was Si Hagibis sa Ibang Daigdig (Hagibis in Another World). Sequels in komiks to the Hagibis series were Anak ni Hagibis (Child of Hagibis) and Si Gat Sibasib (Gat Sibasib). Hagibis was later made into a movie with Fernando Poe, Sr. acting as Hagibis.
Hagibis was a Filipino singing group from the Philippines.
Inspired by American disco-pop group Village People, the group was formed in Manila, Philippines in 1979. They were composed of Bernie Fineza (died January 15, 2015), Mike Respall, Sonny Parsons, Joji Garcia and Mon Picazzo. Mike Hanopol was the group's producer and main songwriter. Best known for their macho image and their equally macho songs like "Katawan", "Legs", "Lalake", among others, they earned the title of 'Village People of the Philippines'. They are still remembered with the same title as of today.
In 1981, Hagibis was featured in the action movie Legs, Katawan, Babae with Myrna Castillo, Laarni Enriquez, Dinah Dominguez and Val Iglesias, directed by Tony Ferrer. One of Hagibis' members, Sonny Parsons, went on to become an action star.
