Ryle Santiago, the fifth Hashtags member to join Viva, responded on March 31.
Santiago expressed his excitement to be with fellow Hashtags alumni Nikko Natividad, Wilbert Ross, Vitto Marquez, and McCoy de Leon at the media conference for his contract signing with Viva Artist Agency, which LionhearTV covered.
Santiago said, “I’m very happy kasi, hopefully, magkakasama po kami sa project. Actually Vitto texted me, Vitto texted me now because he found out that I’m signing with Viva, and then sana magka-work po kami.”
He voiced interest in doing a ‘barkada’ project with the other former Hashtags members.
Santiago pointed out, “Doing a barkada film with the boys would be very, very fun. It’s something we always wanted to do but never had the chance to, and hopefully, Viva gives us a chance to make a film with each other kasi super saya po sana noon.”
He revealed that only two former Hashtags members knew about his contract signing before he penned his agreement with the entertainment company.
He narrated, “…dalawa pa lang po ang may alam, si Vitto and si Paolo. Paolo is very happy for me. We see each other regularly, so nakwento ko sa kaniya and happy siya. And si Vitto nga, when he found out nga kanina, he’s very excited also.”
As for his upcoming projects, he assured his supporters that they would see and hear more of him now that he’s with Viva.
Santiago was a former member of the ‘Its Showtime’ boy group’ Hashtags’ with Natividad, Ross, Marquez, and de Leon.
He worked on productions such as #ParangNormal Activity, Bakwit Boys, The General’s Daughter, and Tubig at Langis.
Santiago signed his contract with the Viva Artist Agency as their newest artist.
