On Cris.

Her angelic face framed by long flowing locks belies a voice so captivating that the 22 year-old Pinoy Dream Academy 2 alumna has left the nation craving for more. A graduate of the Philippine School of Interior Design, Cris has always had a passion for the arts and turned to music at a young age. While she has modeled for commercials and plans to hone her dancing and acting skills, singing remains her first love. She’s got the voice, the looks, and that undeniable charm. The dream lives on after PDA2.

On Liezel.

The eyes will reel you in. The voice will keep you hooked. This 24-year-old Puerto Galera native is a sultry siren in the making. While inside the Academy, Zhel struck the publick as a shy and soft-spoken provincial lass who’s never had a boyfriend. But now she’s ready to show the world that there’s more to her: “I’m open to new things and ready to branch out.” With an album in the works, trust this dusky, petite charmer to sing her way into your hearts.

UPDATE!

Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 ex-scholar Liezel Garcia continues to explore the world of showbiz as a singer and as a performer. ABS-CBN.com spoke with the fourth Star Dreamer during the taping of Pasko Na, Kapamilya! The ABS-CBN 55th Anniversary Christmas Special last December 16 at the Araneta Coliseum about the status of her first album under Star Records. “Hindi pa nasisimulan ‘yung album ko kasi uunahin muna ‘yung kay Bugoy (Drilon). Ang na-launch pa lang ‘yung kay Laarni (Lozada). ‘Yung kay Bugoy‘yung mga songs pa lang ang na-release, next pa ‘yung album. Alam ko next year na rin naka-schedule‘yung album ko so hopefully ma-process na rin. Sa last na sinabi sa akin ‘yung album ko planong gawing mala-R&B, mas maganda kasi ‘yun ang forte ko.”

Grand Star Dreamer Laarni was the first in her batch to release an album which included the carrier single “Kung Iniibig Ka Niya,” the love theme to the primetime Japanovela Precious Time. On the other hand, second Star Dreamer Bugoy’s single “Muli,” a revival of a Rodel Naval classic, can now be heard over the radio and will be a part of his debut album scheduled for release early next year.

In the meantime, Liezel is busy with a series of provincial shows with the other scholars. Her busy schedule was the reason she was unable to spend Christmas with her family in their hometown in Puerto Galera. This was not her first Christmas away from her family though since she used to work in Dubai where she experienced celebrating the holidays alone.

Liezel revealed that PDA2 was the biggest thing that ever happened in her life this 2008. However, the challenging part came when the hit reality-talent show ended and she, together with other Academy alumni, all have to maintain the public’s attention. This is why Liezel makes sure she gives her best performance in all of their mall shows. She also wishes that 2009 will bring more TV exposure for her and her fellow ex-scholars. “Sana mag-continue pa ‘yung career. Ayoko nung bigla na lang mawawala. Lately hindi kami gaanong nakakapag-guest sa TV. Ngayon kasi puro provincial shows para hindi rin kami makalimutan ng tao. Dasal ko na ma-regular kami kahit sa isang show lang para ma-maintain ‘yung recall ng tao sa amin.”

Liezel Garcia
For myself and for other “Pinoy Dream Academy” graduates, I wish for more projects. Singing is what we want and it would be great if we could continue living our dream. If there’s one thing about our batch on PDA, we are pretty solid and we support each other. For my batch mates and my family, I wish for our bond to grow stronger and for everyone to remain healthy. 

Bugoy Drilon
My wish is for all these blessings not to stop coming… not just for me, but also for my batch mates on “Pinoy Dream Academy.” I also wish for good health for my family, as well as for my friends’ families. I also pray for Filipinos to become more enlightened. We all know how negative some of us can be. I hope we will improve as a people next year. I wish my carabao Guppy would stop attacking me. After PDA, she no longer recognizes me.
