Irish & Ilongga Divas interview with The News Today
Sheila Barrios, Irish D. and Cherry Callao, the Ilongga Divas were recently invited for an interview with The News Today Lifestyle Editor, Kathy Villalon at Captain Dad’s Resto last August 5, 2011 at 3PM. The three Ilonggo pop singers willingly shared their life, passion for music and their dreams in a one-on-one interview with the newspaper editor. Cherry was happy to tell the editor that she’s more than just a pop singer but a talented dancer and performer since she was a kid. Irish was able to share her dream of becoming a popular singer someday that’s why she took up BS Music Education at West Visayas State University. Sheila sincerely told her story of struggle of becoming a successful individual, her unexpected career in singing and plan to develop her leadership skills as an active student leader in school. She is presently taking up BS Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Iloilo as Uygongco Foundation special scholar. The three artists also performed parts of their popular Ilonggo singles as a treat to the affable editor. Their songs are played in various FM stations in Iloilo City and Bacolod City since last year.
In the coming weeks, their individual feature stories will be published in The News Today’s Lifestyle Section in separate dates. But beyond anything else, these three young Ilonggo music sensations are always keeping their feet on the ground, optimistic and thankful to God for their musical gifts.
Special thanks to Captain Dad’s Resto for the refreshments and the venue of the interview.
