Garrett Bolden Releases New Single "Pwede Pa Ba"

Saying it's a phenomenal year for singer, balladeer and Clash finalist Garrett Bolden is but an understatement. It's been a couple of years since we last saw him in a physical event (we talked to him last year virtually too) but certainly, his career has gotten into new heights with him doing several teleserye theme songs like the one for Agimat Ng Agila, The World Between Us, Stories for the Heart, I left My Heart In Sorsogon and more in the future. I asked him about him getting into a new title, being the new King of Teleserye songs perhaps, but he digressed and rather be called a balladeer. The humble lad just released his new single called "Pwede Pa Ba?" and it did debut at #3 and is included on the Fresh Friday picks in the Spotify charts, he's making a good impression with this new song.

Here's what we talked about earlier today.

Garrett is also planning to get an acting hat on if projects permit, it'll give him variety just like his compatriots from The Clash. He's really thankful for Sparkle GMA Artist Center as even if he didn't finish the contest as the champ, he's getting a lot of projects in the network when he thought it was going to be done after the show.

Now make sure you take the time to stream and download this new song on digital platforms because the talented lad deserves it. He's raring to go international soon, and we might be seeing that happening pretty close as he's slated to go to the US for interviews. Break a leg Garrett!

Birthday Cheers for Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda!

I've been watching her for years on ABSCBN, and in different shows. She's a very good broadcast journalist. Her work in the Senate and Congress formulating laws that help different sectors like education, the environment, women , youth, history and culture has always been there, consistent and has been lauded by many.

Til now, she's been steadfastly moving to generate jobs for indigenous folks, mothers and artisans in her lone district of Antique and in many places across the country, some of which have also weathered the pandemic and changed the lives of many in her own little ways. She's a leader, Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda. She's also celebrating her birthday today.

 

 

Happy happy birthday Deputy Seaker Loren Legarda! Cheers to more years of serving the people in this blessed country of ours!
