"Kami nAPO Muna" is the first tribute album recorded to honor the 1970's Filipino musical group, APO Hiking Society. "Kami nAPO Muna", in Filipino, literally means "it's our turn", the phrase also being a play on the "Apo" name. The Apo Hiking Society itself used the word "nAPO" ("na po", a formal phrase meaning "already") in many of their concerts and even on a noontime television show. During the launching of the album, a tribute concert was sponsored by MYX Music Channel to honor the contributions of the trio to OPM Music.cite web|url=http://www.mb.com.ph/issues/2006/08/27/ENTR2006082772727.html|title=Classic APO hits by contemporary acts in tribute concert|last=Panaligan|first=Jojo|date=2006-08-27|publisher=Manila Bulletin|language=English|accessdate=2008-09-10]

A two-disc limited edition set of "Kami nAPO Muna" has been released; it contains the original Apo Hiking Society renditions of the tribute tracks on the second disc.

This album is considered the biggest selling album of 2006 in the Philippines with 4x Platinum Certification (more than 125,000 copies sold) in less than 6 months. It is Awit Awards' Bestselling Album of the Year for 2007.
