Yeng Constantino admitted to Korina — “Lagi akong talo sa mga amateur singing contest dati dahil di ako katangkaran at kagandahan.”
It’s a brand new episode on Net 25’s Korina Interviews this Sunday, October 8 (5pm) as Philippines’ Pop Rock Royalty Yeng Constantino sits down in her most revealing in-depth interview to date with award-winning broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez-Roxas.
The youngest among 8 children, Yeng, whose father is a librarian, took the responsibility of being bread winner of her family. Her mother told her she could earn more in showbiz.
Yeng did the rounds of the local singing contests at 9 years old — with the help of her father. But did you know that Yeng lost in about 80% of all the competitions? “Kung di pa po dahil kay Belo, di ako gaganda,” Yeng laughs. “Importante ang full package pala to be a star.”
Alam niyo ba na minsan pandesal lang ang kinakain niya before school at dumadaan lang sa palad nila ang konting pera — sa dami ng utang nila?
The value of earning money was clear to Yeng at an early age; and nag-swear sya na tutulong sya sa Nanay nya. At 14, she did the rounds performing in small gigs in Marikina’s bars. She was ready to give up.
So how did it happen that Yeng Constantino emerged to be one of the biggest hitmakers in the Philippine Music Industry? Ano ang binili niya sa P1Million na napanalunan nya sa Pinoy Dream Academy as champion? Maraming revelations in this musical episode this Sunday! Plus as an added bonus, Korina celebrated her birthday with the OPM hitmaker!
Enjoy another weekend afternoon as you listen in on the intimate chikahan of Korina and Yeng on Korina Interviews this Sunday at 5pm on Net25 right after the romantic comedy Good Will.
