Liezel Garcia - Pinoy Dream Academy 2
Probably her grandmother had big thoughts for Zhel, thus the early dawn trainings at 5:00 when she was too childish to even be thankful for what it could signify for her later in life. All she knew was that citizens would go fanatical over her whenever she was given the microphone and made to sing in community.
She was able to use this capacity as she grew up, gaining reputation in her native land as she reaped first prizes in local singing contests. Now that she has moved on to a grander level, it’s just too bad that her lola can’t look at and listen to her sing anymore.
But what her lola can’t hear, perhaps her father can. By no means was her father there to pay attention to her in her each singing competition; he left the family when she was six years old and was never heard from again until she was 20, and then vanished again. Maybe, inside the Academy, her voice will be able to reach out to her father and make him come home again.
