Yeng Constantino
She may be childish and bratty but she is Pinoy Dream Academy Grand Star Dreamer!
Josephine Constantino known as Yeng is already a household name, after her song Hawak Kamay became a hit even before the show ended.
“Never ko talagang inisip na ako ang mananalo kasi hindi po ako and pinakamaganda, nandyan po si ate Irish at si Ate Michelle. Sa pataasan ng bose, nandyan si ate Jill at ate Panky. Hindi ring ako kasing galling ni Kuya Yvann, Emman at Davey.”, Yeng shares with Southern Living before their PDA Mall Show at SM City Davao .
Luck may be her twin sister because after her PDA success, the next award she received was the Best Theme Song in the 32nd Metro Manila Film Festival the for the movie . Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo. Not to mention the Most Promising Female Recording/Concert Artist in the 2006 Box Office Entertainment Awards.
Undeniably, Yeng’s Hawak Kamay was considered the 2nd national anthem that time, because everybody can relate to it, even kids memorized it by heart.
After her 1st album that made it to platinum, will this be the way for her to enter in showbizlandia?
She says, “ Sa ngayon aside sa voice lessons, nag-wo-workhop po kami sa acting. May nabasa rin ako sa newspaper na magkakaroon daw kami ng soap ni Sarah Geronimo and Rica Peralejo, pero hindi ko po alam kung matutuloy yon.”
This Rocker Chick is certainly one of the busiest artists today, because of her shows, album tour and endorsements. Though she likes what her career is happening today, she admitted that she feels tired and exhausted.
“ Napapagod din ako, kasi tao lang tayo. Pero kapag kumakanta na ako at nakikita kong napasaya ko sila, nawawala po dahil kontento ka na dun”, she says.
