PDA’s Laarni and Bugoy win international recognition

Fresh from winning the top two slots of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2, Laarni Lozada and Bugoy Drilon received recognition from the Asian Star Entertainment Awards as the Most Promising Female and Male Performers of 2008.

The awarding ceremony was held Saturday, October 4, at the Mandarin Suites in Gateway, Cubao. Laarni said that she was overwhelmed with joy when she learned about it.

Laarni already signed a one-year recording contract with Star Records last Tuesday, September 30. Being the first PDA scholar from her batch to get a record deal, she said that she is not affected by people pitting her with Bugoy, another academy favorite.

Laarni’s debut single “Manalig Ka” and Bugoy’s original ballad “Paano Na Kaya” are currently the two most requested songs in DWRR.
