PDA’s Bugoy and Liezel sign contracts with Star Records.

Two more ex-scholars from the Pinoy Dream Academy season 2 got recording contracts, after Grand Star Dreamer Laarni Lozada. Bugoy Drilon and Liezel Garcia each signed a record deal with Star records last October 17 and both ex-scholars can not contain their excitement that they will soon record their very first albums.

Popular songwriter Vehnee Saturno will be producing the album of Bugoy which he said will establish the young singer’ identity as a performer. “Kasama sa album ‘yung composition ni Ryan Cayabyab na ‘Paano Na Kaya’ and Ryan will be writing another song. The album will contain six cuts. Meron kaming revivals, siguro we’ll be doing two. The rest will be all original pop-R&B,” said Vehnee.

Liezel, however, would rather not make it a big deal about her getting a record deal first over second Star Dreamer Miguel Mendoza.

Star Records Managing Director Annabelle Regalado-Borja expressed how happy she is for the success of the PDA2 ex-scholars in the early stage of their careers. “Star Records is very happy na ‘yung kanta ni Bugoy na ‘Paano Na Kaya’ is number in many radio stations. The PDA2 Sing Cayabyab album is doing very well, number one in all Odyssey retail outlets and is still selling like pancakes.”

The life story of PDA’s Bugoy in "Maalaala Mo Kaya"

Bugoy Drilon of Pinoy Dream Academy (PDA) Season 2 will share his rags-to-riches story and his struggle to fulfill his dreams in the country’s longest running drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (MMK), this coming Saturday, October 11.

Bugoy said that he is thrilled but at the same time anxious for the reactions of television viewers and his family.

The Pinoy Dream academy alumnus said that he was really happy doing his scenes for MMK. He shared that he taped for almost a day and revealed that he would be appearing on the last part of the show.

The singer said that the show is worth watching since they will learn things about poverty, perseverance and success. He appealed to his fans to watch the show and to continue supporting his other projects.

Success may have come to Bugoy, but he said the greatest lesson he learned after all these was that, his father will always be his father no matter whom and what he is. As a son, Bugoy’s unfailing love for his father would always be his greatest achievement.

In MMK, singer Mark Bautista will portray Bugoy. Joining Bautista are stars Malou de Guzman, Soliman Cruz, Paw Diaz, Sarah Palad with the special participation of PDA’s mentor Monet Silvestre, Hansen Nichols, Maria Lizel Garcia and Chivas Garcia.

Catch Bugoy's debut acting performance in MMK this Saturday after "Komiks Presents: Tiny Tony" only on ABS-CBN.
