“SHENG: I THINK BUGOY WILL WIN IN PDA2″

TO date, four scholars have left Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2: Michelle “Sheng” Belmonte and Chivas Malunda, and the two quitters, Ross Dio and Jet Singh. Kathy Solis, who handles the publicity of the show, presented Sheng and Chivas to the press last Monday night. Ross and Jet were missing.

“It was decided not to invite them anymore since they volunteered to leave the academy,” Kathy explains. “Pinag-aaralan pa ngayon what to do with them.”

We’re sure that when the quitters left, they didn’t foresee the possibility that their decision to leave will have a bad reflection on them. “Sayang dahil, sana nga, ibinigay na lang yung slots nila sa ibang contestants na mas seryoso in being a scholar,” says one writer.

Sheng is a dark morena beauty who looks so much better in person. We told her we voted to save her and we felt sad when it was Jet who was saved as it turned out he’d choose to leave the next day. How does she feel about this?

“Of course, I felt very sad when I left the academy as I loved being in it. But as they say, everything happens for a reason, so happy na rin ako as I know I had a good exit. Now, I’m back to my rackets, like hosting sa Metro Bar, Punchline and Laff Line. I also want to thank ABS for allowing me to go back to my former work as singer-stand up comic even if I’m still under contract with them for two years. Thankful din ako kasi right after I left, ang dami kong naging guestings, like I’m in ‘The Singing Bee’ this week for four days. I learned so much from PDA, lalo na tungkol sa vocal techniques, kasi I never studied music or voice naman formally. Natuto rin akong makisama sa iba’t ibang klase ng tao.”

So what’s her plan now? “I also want to try acting. Kasi even before, nag-e-extra na ako sa TV as passerby. Sana mabigyan ako ng regular exposure.”

Who does she think will win and who does she want to win? “I think Bugoy (of Bicol) will win kasi ang taas ng musicality niya. He’s also my personal choice.”
