Zia Quizon takes each vocal challenge seriously
The talented, vibrant singer Zia Quizon strengthens her hold as one of today’s exciting voices with her latest hit “Pasakalye” having the same overtones of her first hit single “Ako Na Lang.”
At the launch of her sophomore album “A Little Bit Of Lovin’,” Zia described her latest effort as “a bit more personal.” She composed some of the tracks in the album, including the title track.
“Nagtagal kaming gawin ito to make it worth buying talaga,” she said, needing no wordy explanation as her take on the classic OPM folk song “Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran” proved how she seriously takes each vocal challenge.
Such is the careful touch of Dolphy and Zsa Zsa’s talented daughter, not wanting to rush things to assure the quality of the finished product. Small wonder she has become a sought-after guest in public events, considering the positive vibe she exudes on and off stage.
Zia recently graced the launch of Avida Towers Asten held at Greenbelt 5 Gallery. She performed a number of songs to the delight of attendees present to witness the grand public introduction of Avida Land’s high-rise residential development to soon emerge in West Makati. More details about Avida Towers Asten are on the website.

Carlo, a familiar face in television commercials having done many tvcs, adds, “It’s always nice to try new things because it gives you a different perspective.”
From being a cager and model, Benj has dipped his hands in showbiz. “Since I was young, I am always curious how it feels to be an actor and to act alongside famous stars,” says he.
Kaye, a model, is looking forward to a career in showbiz. “Initially, ayaw ng mom ko. But now, she even updates me on the latest showbiz happening,” says she who finished cum laude at the UST.
A part-time model and undergraduate student, PJ grabbed the chance to enter showbiz. “I have to put my best foot forward in our PAGCOR shows para mabigyan ng magandang palabas ang mga manonood. It’s a training ground for us,” he says.
Avery has always wanted to be an actor and he thanks his hairstyle for making an interesting first impression. “I am serious on making a name in showbiz. I am even considering changing my hairstyle if the need arises.”

Maui is excited over her journey in showbiz and the Pagcor show. “Dapat mag-enjoy ang lahat (ng manonood),” she says.
