CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 10TH<br />
YEAR IN SHOWBIZ! WHAT DO YOU<br />
ATTRIBUTE YOUR STAYING<br />
POWER TO?<br />
It’s all thanks to good management,<br />
the unwavering support of fans,<br />
sound advice from family and<br />
friends, a pursuit of excellence and<br />
God’s favour.<br />
YOU’VE RELEASED<br />
A NEW ALBUM TO<br />
CELEBRATE YOUR<br />
10TH-YEAR-IN-<br />
THE-BUSINESS<br />
ANNIVERSARY. WHAT<br />
ELSE CAN WE EXPECT<br />
FROM YOU THIS YEAR?<br />
Expect some unexpected<br />
twists and turns when it<br />
comes to different acting<br />
WISE<br />
WORDS<br />
If you pursue a<br />
dream that is<br />
meant for you,<br />
the path will lay<br />
bare beneath<br />
your feet with<br />
your goal within<br />
your reach. I<br />
started off as<br />
a singing ‘Star<br />
Search’ fi nalist<br />
but although I<br />
got eliminated<br />
just before the<br />
fi nals, doors<br />
opened for<br />
me and I’m<br />
very thankful<br />
for that.<br />

roles as I’m part of ABS-CBN’s<br />
Princess and I. I’m also exploring<br />
different opportunities in my<br />
recording career — there will be<br />
more music videos and concerts.<br />
In fact, we’re cooking up a major<br />
concert this year, which will be<br />
exciting as I will be doing a lot of<br />
fi rsts — the production will<br />
be topnotch!<br />
WHICH DO YOU PREFER —<br />
SINGING OR ACTING?<br />
My focus is still on singing as<br />
it’s just more natural to me but<br />
I don’t mind doing other things<br />
like acting, hosting and even<br />
dancing to reach out to more<br />
people and share my music<br />
with them.<br />
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST<br />
ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR?<br />
I consider First Class, my<br />
latest album, as my biggest<br />
achievement so far because this<br />
album marks my return to doing<br />
original songs. I have beautiful<br />
duets with Angeline Quinto and<br />
KC Concepcion. This album was<br />
also launched with a coffee<br />
table book.<br />
YOU’VE DONE A FEW<br />
COLLABORATIONS FOR<br />
YOUR SONGS. WHICH ARTIST<br />
WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO<br />
WORK WITH?<br />
I would like to work with a<br />
European or American artist<br />
like Adele or Maroon 5 — I feel<br />
working with them could take my<br />
talent to another level entirely.<br />
