Blooming at 18: Princess Aliyah

The gorgeous singer and actress Princess Aliyah is turning 18 very soon, and we've got a few things confirmed (so far) as she plans to celebrate her princess-strong woman themed birthday party. This press conference was done at the SEDA Hotel Vertis North in Quezon City. 

Princess says "This is a blessing, actually I just did plans for my debut last month. So now I am doing my gown, styling, and I'll get my PBB housemates on my birthday. They also told me a lot about a single they made for me which is AMBA, and I am so glad how it sounded, very pop princess and youthful. Initially I didn't want to celebrate my birthday but I actually have a lot of friends and extended family now which is why we went through with this. Since PBB I looked up to my Mom and since I'm turning 18, they will be a huge part of it. I love how it sounds too. Maybe people know how much of a baby I am, but I'm very strong and independent, but not to mar my sweet looks, I think I still want them to see that. I want my roles to be versatile, do contrabida roles, action, hopefully I could do that since I'm 18. I also want to do trekking on my own, I also want to have decisions, more responsibilities, and hope to just have good health for my family, that's all I want. I want the people who I've worked with to be there. Right now I am still finalizing things, I hope they could all come."

The single AMBA is written by Roel Rostata. It is arranged and produced by artist THYRO, produced by GMV Studios (as one of their artists).

Princess is a woman now, and she wants to do pageants if the opportunity comes, she loves Catriona and Pia, but it's not on her mind right now (yet). She likens herself with Rapunzel and see that she could do more getting to know herself even more while outside her walls. She promised herself to concentrate on her career and want a partner that would support that.

Happy birthday Princess!

SPARKLE TRENTA: Stars and Launch of CLICK KINDNESS

SPARKLE GMA Artist Center recently just concluded their 30th Anniversary via Sparkle Trenta at the MOA Sky stage in Pasay City. And yes, stars took much of their time to perform for their fans, get nostalgia (especially for the folks from Starstruck) and love for the loveteams, singers, spirited dancers, and executives who made Sparkle what it is today.

PBB Celebrity Collab Edition's AZ Martinez, Charlie Fleming, Shuvee Etrata, Josh Ford, Vince Maristela and Michael Sager sang and danced the theme and had fans screaming on top of their lungs. 

Mika Salamanca had her own song number, and her screaming fans didn't hold back, they were also looking for Brent I think LOL 

Good looking hunks Anthony Constantino, Royce Cabrera, and our well loved Tuns aka Kristoffer Martin sang for the fans on stage. Quality men for primetime no?

Miguel Tanfelix showed why he's one of Sparkle's go to guy for dance, he's unbelievably charming. 

Super funny hosts Amazing Betong Sunaya, Jayson Gainza, Pepita Smith and Boobay talked and smoothly bantered with Concert Comedy Queen Aiai Delas Alas (who sang a new single btw!).

Rodjun and Rayver Cruz did handy work of the dance numbers, and Rayver's girlfriend Julie Anne San Jose did several songs, jaws were dropped the minute she stepped on stage.

The ladies and gent from hit show Sanggre charmed folks to watch their show and thanked all those who supported them all these months.

Crowd drawers Ms. Rita Daniela and the iconic Michelle Marquez Dee also sang, they of course thanked their fans for being there. 

There were tons more that happened but what's even more important was what Alden Richards discussed about that evening. Tons of artists have experienced bullying, mental anguish online and he talked about a campaign they are launching called CLICK KINDNESS, it's a call for you to think about what you post and publish online, to spread positivity and make experience online a good one instead of adding toxicity and bad things on the internet. I have a few videos on my page so just search KUMAGCOW on Facebook to see it on my reels. 

Congratulations SPARKLE! Continue to shine!
