Ronnie Liang - 2nd Chance to Stardom

September 27, 2006 by cd · 93 Comments 

Ronnie Liang’s inclusion in Pinoy Dream Academy is his second chance to stardom. His first shot was when he joined GMA 7’s Pinoy Pop Superstar and became champion for 3 weeks. On his 4th and qualifying week to become a grand contender, he was expelled on the ground of breaking the show’s rule of having an existing contract and manager. “It was painful but i learned to be strong because of the experience,” says the 21-year-old scholar from Angeles City who is also the tallest at 6 ft. Surely when a door closes, the window will open and this window is Pinoy Dream Academy—his 2nd chance to stardom.

Josephine “Yeng” Constantino - Hawak Kamay with RJ

September 27, 2006 by cd · 193 Comments 

We all know that a song will either make or break a singer. Successful artists owe their fame mostly with their songs specially if it became a hit. This is why many people are eyeing on Yeng Constantino as the one to beat because she wrote a song which is an early hit in Pinoy Dream Academy entitled “Hawak Kamay.” She also has her own band called Morning Glory. She is the youngest of five kids, she was born on Dec. 4, 1988 and never had a boyfriend.

It looks like Yeng and RJ are made for each other di ba? Like Yeng, RJ also has an early hitsong—”The Tuesday Song.” Pareho din silang di pa nagkaka bf/gf. They have many things in common. Magkatuluyan kaya sila? Pwede, because their chemistry is undeniable. And this is a “love story” in the making na di dapat palampasin inside the Academy.
