The one and only Asia's Diamond Soul Siren Nina has been heavily missed and this February 7th, she's ending that with her very own concert titled "LOVE MATTERS" which will be at the New Frontier Theater at Araneta City.
Nina says "You have to stay with your roots, it's challenging for an artist and singer. Even if it's your sound, you change it to what is current so you remain relevant. Folks should sing, interpret it the way the audience would feel it too. People listen, and it could be technical but they should know how to make folks people feel the love. My daughter has been noticing how people are approaching me and take photos. She's got clues now."
She adds "I haven't found any challenging song because I really do learn it first before recording. Maybe if I could do Through The Fire, put a spin on it that is more acoustic rather than belting. I still get nervous, I think every time I do get nervous because I always want to put out a great performance. I don't drink, nor smoke, so I take good care of my voice. I don't eat pork and beef, I eat everything else that makes me happy."
She tells us "There will be new songs, perhaps this year a new single or album. Love Moves was the one I got to really enjoy in the Nina Live album. We will certainly celebrate all kinds of love in the Love Matters concert."
Here's more of our interview with her:

If you're looking for the perfect concert this Valentine's season, Fire and Ice productions and Fire and Ice Live! is bringing you "Love, Sessionistas: A pre-Valentines Concert" at The Theatre at Solaire this coming February 8th at 8pm and you'll love who's in it! Of course there's Ice Seguerra, Juris Fernandez, Nyoy Volante, Sitti Navarro, Kean Cipriano, Princess Velasco, and Duncan Ramos. It's going to be nostalgic, a thing that's been in the works since pre-pandemic will now be realized.
The last time that these guys were together was way back March of 2015. Although they didn't really get to meet during those days, they've been connected online through chat. Though if you look at it, it's been almost 10 years since they've done music together, a little overdue.
Ice says "There was a time in 2019 when we thought about doing something like this, I messaged everybody if they're game to do it. I really miss them, they all agreed, but the pandemic really got in the way. We had a venue ready, stage design, production, everything. It was supposed to be Fire and Ice's first show. But it didn't happen because of the pandemic. It was moved, and things happened with our careers individually, life in general. We started talking about it after the videoke series I did, which was a successful concert. Whether it's Valentine's day or not, we have universal love that we celebrate. We have the romantic love covered, but we have other kinds of love that we also want to celebrate on that day. And also our friendship that stood the test of time. Wohoo!"
Nyoy adds "During those 10 years, we often perform in each other's shows, but not as a complete group, usually benefit concerts. We often become guests with each others concerts or gigs, it was easy because aside from being artists in the same group, we're friends in real life. We did theater, and we supported each other. We're so used being with each other back in the day, and now our lives are intertwined. We're so used to answering each other's songs, lines, but it's going to be more organized since it is a show. We have several surprises for you, and seeing from our studies, it's going to be one fun night!"
Kean adds "This is going to be a treat for everyone. You'll see our camaraderie, but what we will sing is going to be heartfelt, more meaningful. This is also a concert where anyone, of all ages, could actually go and have fun! As you know, we are from different genres, it will surely be a good time to see that on stage."
Juris agrees and said "Yes it's going to be a treat for everyone and also a treat for myself because singing is more of an escape for me now, not work, and I'm glad that we're doing this."
Producer Liza Dino Seguerra says "It's been a while since people have seen them together. It's going to be so good to see them perform together on stage, their careers didn't end on that portion of the show. Sessionistas went on and did things individually, they lived out their careers, had family, it will be a time for the fans so they could see where these guys are now. It's a concert of their journey as friends and as individual artists. You will not only see them as Sessionistas but as Ice, Juris, Nyoy, Sitti , Kean , Princess, and Duncan. It's super exciting because their chemistry is different. The photoshoot we had in November was already crazy, what more the actual show in February."

It's a really great morning to bring you good news, our favorite barley brand Santé wants you to love the brand even more, so they got the best man for the job... No other than Vic Sotto.
The well loved drink and health product manufacturer from the Philippines (imports raw materials from New Zealand) wants you to Live for More, and today, in simple ceremonies at the Luxent hotel, they introduced him to the press as their brand ambassador.
Vic says "I am together with Santé International in celebrating their 18th year, and living healthy. Of course I drink Santé barley on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. It fortifies my immune system, and as Lakan Makisig, it's what I do. It also makes me look good."
He adds "I know of Santé Barley and researched about their product. It's a super food, I sat down with them and knew even more about the organization and so, I said yes right away, they promote healthy living. When it comes to that, I am always for it. Knowing where it came from, and it's quality, it's why I said yes to it. It's not a secret anymore. I take Santé Barley. We were just talking and they already gave me 5 years worth of Santé barley, you can really feel it in your body when you start taking it. I had it before breakfast, it cleanses, and my immune system plus overall health is being taken cared of by it. When it is something that I don't use, I don't endorse it. I did due diligence, and it benefited me a lot, I believe in it and used it so it's just so easy to endorse it. More than that, I feel it will help others which is why I did this."
Vic adds "One of the regimen I do is that I only eat when it's time to eat. I don't eat junk food, sweets, I take everything in moderation including alc0hol and soft drinks. I don't even have maintenance medicine for hyperpigmentation and diabetes namely Joey and Allan K. It's a very healthy food supplement and for me, I am thankful that I am lucky with health and this body. I also sleep 6-7 hours a day, enjoy my family. I don't exercise, just brisk walk and do golf. It's just what I do, because I couldn't do what Pauline does because she does high intensity spinning class."
Joey of Santé International says "We couldn't sleep knowing one of our choices was Vic Sotto. He's an institution, and it was not a hard choice to have him as our endorser. Before we asked him, I introduced it to him and told him about the company and the advocacy. The product is good, but as a company, we always believe in the product and for the next coming years, he is a good match."
