MANILA, Philippines - After the success of his debut album, �??Paano Na Kaya,�?� Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 scholar Bugoy Drilon released his second album under Star Records.

Drilon said he feels proud and thankful at the same time as he did not expect that his singing career will go as far as a second album.

The self-titled album�??s carrier single is �??Hindi na Bale,�?� a cover of Jessa Zaragosa�??s hit song. It has already taken the No. 1 spot in some radio stations.

MANILA, Philippines - Thousands of Filipino fans rocked the night away on Tuesday as the American emo-rock band "Paramore" held their first Philippine concert at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds.

The band rose to fame with their hit song "Decode," which is the soundtrack for the vampire flick "Twilight".

Filipino fans sang along to Paramore's hits such as "Crush, crush, crush", "Brick by boring brick", and "Ignorance".

Arnel Pineda, the Filipino front man of popular American rock band "Journey," will sing the Philippine national anthem in Manny �??Pacman�?� Pacquiao�??s much-awaited fight with Ghanaian Joshua "The Grand Master" Clottey on March 13 (March 14 in Manila) at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

In an exclusive interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Pineda confirmed that he was invited by Pacquiao to sing "Lupang Hinirang" in his upcoming fight.

"Pupunta ako sa Dallas to sing sa laban ni Manny [Pacquiao].This Thursday [ang alis ko]. (I am going to Dallas this Thursday to sing in Pacquiao's fight.)," Pineda said.

"I'm really happy kasi matutuloy na. Nahihiya na ako kay Manny kasi pangatlong invitation na ito sa akin. Baka kasi isipin ay iniisnab ko. So finally, matutuloy na. (This is my third invitation from Manny who might think I'm snubbing him. I'm happy this is finally pushing through), " he said.

The crooner said he was not able to sing in Pacquiao's previous fights because of his hectic schedule as Journey's vocalist.

In her eponymous first solo album, Juris Fernandez thanks everybody, from her producer (Star Records, headed by Annabelle Regalado-Borja) to her family and to the artists who contributed �??words and music�?� to the album. Yes, everybody but Chin Alcantara, her former M.Y.M.P. partner with whom Juris broke up under unpleasant circumstances.

�??Thank you God for this wonderful learning experience,�?� Juris wrote on the album note. �??Thank you for all the supportive people who have always been there as well as those whom I have the pleasure to work with as I embark on this new phase of my career.�?�

The album is pure Juris, carrying 14 songs with no M.Y.M.P. trace at all (except her voice): I Don�??t Want To Fall (words and music by Cattski Espina), Getting Over You (by Jimmy Antiporda), Opposites Attract (by Jungee Marcelo), �??Di Lang Ikaw (words by Juris, music by Aiza Seguerra), Love Letters (also by Juris), Dear You (words by Carla Lozada, music by Francis Concio), Kailan Kaya (by Top Suzara), Nandiyan Ka Lang Pala (by Ryan Cayabyab), You Got Me Here (words by Carla Lozada, music by Cattski Espina), Beautiful (by Duncan Ramos), Who Was I (by Gary Valenciano) and I Don�??t Wanna Fall (Stripped Mix), plus bonus tracks Nariyan Ka (from May Bukas Pa, words, by Jonathan Manalo) and I Love You Goodbye (from the Star Cinema movie, by Diane Warren).
