name apl.de.ap (IPA: /ˌæpəldiˈæp/), is a Filipino-American
rapper, singer and record producer best known as a member of the
Grammy Award-winning hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas.Allan Pineda
Lindo was born in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines. His
African-American father, an airman stationed at Clark Air Base, left
the family shortly after his birth; his Filipino mother, Cristina
Pineda, raised him and his six younger siblings as a single mother. As
a child, Pineda would make an hour-long jeepney trip to and from his
school and helped his family subsist by farming sweet potatoes, corn,
sugar cane, and rice. The Pearl S. Buck Foundation, an organization
that finds healthier living environments for young abandoned or
orphaned American children, matched him with a sponsor named Joe Ben
Hudgens, a lawyer, through a dollar-a-day program.He initially came to
the United States at the age of 14 for treatment for nystagmus, an
involuntary movement of the eyes. After a trip to Disneyland, Pineda
expressed his interest in staying in the United States. It would take
another three years for Hudgens to officially adopt him, but at
fourteen he moved permanently to the United States to live with
