Aiza may pinagmanahan
SANGA-SANGANDILA Ni Veronica R. Samio* * *Twenty five years old na pala si Aiza Seguerra, swerteng naimbitahan ako sa napaka-private niyang selebrasyon na dinaluhan ng kanyang pamilya lamang at ilang piling kaibigan sa kanilang Imperial St., Cubao residence. Isang gabi ’yun ng kainan, tsikahan at sing-along. Kaya naman pala maganda ang boses niya, magagaling ding kumanta ang mga magulang niya. Ang naitanong ko pala sa isa sa mga bisita kung nasaan na ang kanyang uncle, si Papa Joe Seguerra, na lagi naming kausap noong nagsisimula pa lamang si Aiza sa Eat Bulaga. Nasa Canada na pala at ang kanyang magandang misis. Pero andun sa birthday party ni Aiza ang kanyang dalawang anak, si Noli at Arnold at ang misis ni Arnold na si Shyla at apat na apo na puro mga cute.
*May nagawa palang isang album na masasabing international na ipamamahagi sa mga bansa sa Asya tulad ng Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hongkong, Japan at Philippines.*Pinamagatang Open Arms, naglalaman ito ng 13 revival songs at kasalukuyan nang naririnig ang kantang Home sa mga nasabing bansa sa Asya bilang pagpapakilala sa album. Magkakaroon ng local launching ang Open Arms sa October 3 sa Eastwood. Prodyus ito ng S2S Production na siyang namamahagi ng album sa Asya at dito naman, ang Star Records ang distributor.*Narinig lamang ng S2S Prod na kumanta si Aiza at nagustuhan nila siya. Pumunta rito ang representative ng kumpanya para mapakinggan siya ng personal. Di lamang ang boses niya ang nagustuhan nila sa kanya kundi ang kanyang live performance. Pinapirma nila siya ng kontrata. Bukod sa Open Arms meron siyang mga mini concerts sa mga malls sa ilang bansa sa Asya para i-promote ang album niya.***

Aiza rakes in P2.08M at 'Singing Bee'
Singer Aiza Seguerra won a million pesos for a second time on Thursday, after retaining the championship at ABS-CBN's "The Singing Bee", a game show that pits contestants against each other in guessing correctly a song's lyrics. Seguerra's total winnings now amount to P2,080,000.
Seguerra had a difficult time in the final round against her challenger, Freestyle band vocalist Jinky Vidal. Both of them missed the lyrics to the final line-up of songs, including hits made popular by Donna Summer and Jose Mari Chan.
With time running out, "Singing Bee" host Cesar Montano declared that Jinky would no longer be able to catch up with Seguerra on points--Seguerra therefore remained the "Singing Bee" champion and taking home P1,040,000.
Just the night before, the singer had already won a million pesos and forty-thousand pesos.
A former child star, Seguerra reigned as the show’s champion for three nights in a row, before she went on to win the million-peso prize on Wednesday, July 9, after she filled in the missing lyrics of five songs.
Seguerra got the chance to be next the show's winner after singer Rachel Alejandro gave up her title as the defending champion since she needed to fly abroad for her other commitments. Alejandro was the show’s first celebrity P1 million winner. The first ever Singing Bee Philippines millionaire was Steno Padilla.
Before becoming the newest Singing Bee millionaire Wednesday night, the former child star defeated her co-contestant, fellow singer Bituin Escalante.
Seguerra joined the “Singing Bee” also to promote her latest album titled "Open Arms."
In interview during the show, Seguerra told host Cesar Montano “Open Arms” will be released either this month of August or September. "Open Arms" is the follow-up to Seguerra's previous album, "Para Lang Sa 'Yo".
Seguerra made one of the most notable comebacks in Philippine showbiz when, after her acting career nosedived as she entered adulthood, she made a name in music industry with her monster hit song "Pagdating ng Panahon"
Seguerra said her "Open Arms" album was produced by an international music firm from Singapore and will be released by ABS-CBN's music outfit Star Records.
Seguerra only had 17 days to record the10-track album, which features revivals of old hits such as "Open Arms," "Time After Time," "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," "At last," "Vincent," "Smooth Operator," "Home," "Journey," and "Longer."
Seguerra said that she will be flying to Singapore to promote her album right after her performance for the stage play "Avenue Q" ends.
Seguerra is a contract artist of Star Records but on a per album basis only.
Presently, Seguerra’s “Sa’yo Lamang” is the theme song of Kapamilya's hit Koreanovela "Romantic Princess."

A storm named Aiza
| |
A new storm has hit the country. It is the Aiza Seguerra concert last May 15 at R&B Rafters music lounge in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Entitled “Summer Strum,” the concert was produced by Dennis R.G. Quila under Quarter to Six Productions. Ticket holders got in early to get a good seat. But even if the show was already halfway, people were still lining up at the ticket booth despite a SRO advisory. They didn’t mind standing up for the entire show (or sitting on the stairways). They even commented: “Super sulit pa rin!.” “More, more, more!” cheered the audience when the show was about to end, which prompted Aiza to extend a couple of performances. With Aiza on stage was a group of talented musicians composed of a guitarist, a percussionist and a violinist. Her repertoire that night included “Every Little Thing,” “Runaway,” “If I’m Not In Love,” “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” “Separate Lives,” “Kiss From A Rose,” “True Colors,” “Time After Time,” “One Thousand Miles,” “Hands To Heaven,” “Waiting In Vain,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Till There Was You,” “Here There and Everywhere,” “In My Life”, “Ipagpatawad Mo”, “Bilanggo,” “Magasin,” “Para Lang Sa ‘Yo,” “El Bimbo” and the ever popular and hit single “Pagdating Ng Panahon” musically arranged by show producer Dennis R.G. Quila himself. When Aiza sang her signature song, everyone in the audience seemed to have been caught up in a trance. Aiza’s Sta. Rosa, Laguna show was presented by Globe Telecom, R&B Rafters Music Venue and Quarter to Six, in cooperation with Audiophile-Shure, Center for Pop Music, After Hours KTV and Pepsi-Gatorade. At the moment, Aiza is working on an album produced by the Singapore-based S2S Production and will be released Asia wide. She’s working on 13 tracks of covers and originals. Target release date is early this month. She’s soon to renew contract with Star Records for a live recording album. For the third time, Aiza performs in the repeat of the Broadway play, “Avenue Q,” June 12 to 22 at the RCBC Plaza Makati. |

Girl na girl uli ang dating ni Aiza nang mag-gown siya sa isang Santacruzan sa Quezon City. Ang pagga-gown na iyon ni Aiza ay para sa guesting niya sa sitcom na That’s My Doc, na mapapanood mamaya pagkatapos ng Cinema FPJ sa ABS-CBN. "Kailangan siya du’n sa role and I really don’t mind din naman since parte na talaga ‘yan ng trabaho. At least I get to entertain people, especially kids who are watching," sabi ni Aiza. Ang papel ni Aiza ay boyish na dalagang si Alex na kabilang sa isang pamilya ng mga Reyna Elena sa Brgy. Tabuneknek

Ang pagkanta at pagtugtog ng kanyang gitara ang pinakamalapit ngayon sa puso ng dating child star na si Aiza Seguerra. Dito sa kanyang mga awitin ay naipapakita niya ang kanyang damdamin bukod pa sa kanyang pag arte.
Mula ng pasikatin niya ang kantang Pagdating ng Panahon ay naging suki na siya ng mga sing-along bars.Nagsimula siya sa D’ Library na noon ay nasa Adriatico at mula noon ay naging paborito na rin siya sa mga comedy bars para mapakinggan ang kanyang acoustic music.Kaya nga binansagan siya ni Andrew “Mamu” de Real na Acoustic Diva.
Mula sa matagumpay na Aiza Seguerra: Unplugged noong nakaraang Oct.16 ay magkakaroon ito ng repeat ngayong gabi , Oct. 23 kung saan aawitin niya ang mga luma niyang kanta plus ang mga kanta niya sa ABS-CBN Primetime Bida teleserye na Ysabella”

AIZA Seguerra releases new album "Para Lang Sa 'Yo (Songs Inspired by Ysabella)" Paul Mata, Philippine Entertainment Portal, September 21, 2007
After a four-year hiatus from the recording scene, Aiza Seguerra releases her new album, her first under Star Records. The album is titled Para Lang Sa 'Yo (Songs Inspired by Ysabella) and was released yesterday, September 20, at the Packo's Grill in South Triangle, Quezon City.
Ysabella is the ABS-CBN television series starring Judy Ann Santos, Ryan Agoncillo, Derek Ramsey, and Aiza herself.
The 10-track album contains revivals and original compositions. "Para Lang Sa 'Yo" is the carrier single, composed by Jonathan Manalo. He also served as the producer of the album.
"The general idea of the album is bringing Aiza back into the mainstream. [Because] she's known for her soothing and cooling voice," Jonathan told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during the media launch.
Also in the album is the theme song of Ysabella, "Huwag Mong Iwan ang Puso," an Ogie Alcasid composition and originally sung by Pinoy Dream Academy grand scholar Yeng Constantino. Other revivals in the album are Louie Ocampo's "I'll Be There for You" and a Didith Reyes hit, "Bakit Ako Mahihiya."
"Song choices for the album are inspired by the love angles of Ysabella. Alam mo naman ang mga Pinoy, sentimental. Anything na sweet sa tenga nila, yun yung habol ng mga Pinoy," the noted composer added.
Aiza contributed one song to the album, her original "Sana Di Lang Puro Sana" with former Rizal Underground member and PEP blogger, Mike Villegas. Other originals are "Persistent Rain" by Christian Martinez and Cynthia Roque, "Walang Sayang" by Moy Ortiz, and "Kasama" by Ricky Sanchez.
Extra features of the album are music videos of the tracks "Para Lang Sa ‘Yo" and "Walang Sayang."
Ryan Agoncillo provided beautiful photographs of Aiza for the album.
Aiza encourages her fans to get a copy of her new album in record stores nationwide. Star Records is also making the album available worldwide.

Rey Pumaloy, Abante, Sept. 22
DAPAT pasalamatan ni Christian Bautista si Aiza Seguerra, dahil isa ito sa mga nagsasabi na nauunawaan niya ang pagkakamali ng una sa pagkanta ng Lupang Hinirang.
Sabi ni Aiza sa launching ng Para Lang Sa’yo album niya mula sa Star Records, nangyayari talaga ang ganung sitwasyon, na kinakabahan at nagkakamali ang isang singer.
"Siguro sa akin, kung ipakakanta sa akin ang national anthem, hindi ko masyadong iisipin para hindi ako magkamali. Ang nangyayari kasi, kahit alam na alam mo ang isang kanta, kapag lalo mong iniisip, at nahaluan pa ng pressure, makakalimutan mo talaga.
"Nangyayari `yon, eh. Normal naman ang magkamali sa kahit na sinong singer. Nagkaroon lang ng issue dahil alam ng halos lahat na mga tao ang kanta.
"Sana maunawaan na lang natin ‘yung nangyari. Kasi knowing Christian, alam kong inaayos niya ang trabaho niya. Hindi niya `yon sinasadya," sabi ni Aiza.
Rey Pumaloy, Sept. 23
Sa interview kay Aiza Seguerra noon, nabanggit ang pangalan ni Derek Ramsay, bilang sponsor o donor ng semilya, sa plano niyang pagbubuntis.
Nasabi nga ni Aiza na ang mga tipo ng lalake ni Derek ang gugustuhin niyang maging donor sa plano niyang artificial insemination. Pero, hindi niya sinabi na si Derek mismo ang gusto niya.
"Ayoko rin naman. Unang-una, magkaibigan kami. Magkakaroon pa ng problema ‘yan. Baka magkaroon pa ng moral obligation.
"Mas maganda ‘yung hindi mo kilala para makaiwas doon sa posibleng paghahabol, just in case, ‘di ba?
"Atsaka, ayoko pa rin talaga. Kumbaga, napag-usapan lang. Bata pa ako. Marami pa akong dapat gawin," sabi ni Aiza.
Si Jason Abalos na kasama ni Aiza sa Ysabella ay payag na payag magbigay ng semilya kay Aiza. Ang binata nga mismo ang nag-volunteer sa sarili niya.
"Oo nga, eh. Nahiya nga si Jason, dahil parang mali raw ang pasok niya. Sabi ko naman, okey lang."
Siyanga pala, ngayon lang nakakahinga ng konti si Aiza sa kanyang trabaho. Pero, siguradong mapapasabak din siya agad sa panibagong trabaho, lalo na at nailabas na ang album niyang Para Lang Sa’yo ng Star Records.Ang ganda-ganda ng album ni Aiza at siguradong magugustuhan talaga ito ng mga fans niya.
Sabi ni Aiza, masaya siya sa Star Records, bagama’t medyo natagalan bago natapos ang album na ito.
"Naghintay lang ako ng tamang oras at panahon. Ang Star Records, nu`ng mag-usap kami, after a few weeks, ginawa namin agad ang album.
Kasama nga pala si Aiza sa bagong version ng pelikulang Enteng Kabisote, na kasali sa MMFFP.
