Carla Abellana Signs Up With Universal Records

Kapuso Primetime Queen Carla Abellana is also now a recording artist. She inked a recording contract with Universal Records last Aug. 29. The “My Husband’s Lover” star immediately proceeded to the recording of her first single – a cover of Toni Daya’s hit song “Kung Alam Mo Lang.”

Carla expresses gratitude to everyone who made this project possible: Her manager, Arnold Vegafria; record producer Ito Rapadas; Universal Records General Manager Kathleen Dy-Go; Carla; and UR Operations Manager Peter Chan.

In the meantime, “My Husband’s Lover” gets more exciting every day. Even my friends from exclusive villages said they couldn’t afford to miss an episode. So they always hurry home from dinners to catch up with the show, which airs on GMA primetime. In the top-rating teleserye, Carla plays Lally, the loving and devoted wife to Tom Rodriguez’s character Vincent.
