"Pinoy Dream Academy" Season 2’s Top Six Scholars -- Laarni, Bugoy, Miguel, Liezel, Van and Cris said that they are now ready to face the challenges in the world of music and in showbiz.

The scholars shared their experiences inside the academy, as well as their future plans.

“I’m more open now since before. I’m really reserved but that’s really me. But they told me that I have to be more open especially on stage. So now, I think I gained more confidence,” shared Liezel Garcia on the things she developed while inside the academy.

“I learned a lot inside the academy especially on how to mingle with other people,” Bugoy Drilon said.

“Sensuality in performing... that’s what I’ve learned and it really helped me to win the contest,” said Laarnie Lozada, the Grand Star Dreamer.

Miguel Mendoza, Cris Pastor and Van Roxas were one in saying that the most important thing they’ve learned inside the Academy is the word discipline.

“Discipline, especially on how to take care of yourself and your voice,“ said Mendoza.

The top 6 scholars shared their happiness and excitement saying that they already had projects lined up for them.

They also said that they will concentrate on singing rather than acting.

“Sa ngayon kung ano ang dumating sa akin talagang gagawin ko ang best. Ok sana ay ma-appreciate ng tao kasi nasa akin din naman kung magiging successful ako o hindi kung pababayaan ko ito. Kung ano ang mayroon dapat pagbutihan ko talaga,” Lozada said.

“Gusto ko talaga ito (singing) at maging mas professional pa at magkaroon ng album at more work po sana,” Garcia added.

“Siguro po ito pong pagkanta ay ipu-pursue ko. Pero pag-iisipan ko in five years kung ano ang pinaka-plano ko po. Mag-aaral pa din po ako pero itutuloy ko itong career ko kung pwede,” Drilon said.

Drilon also said that he is willing to be an actor and would be happy to do comic shows.

“Gusto ko pong maging komedyante,” he said.

Mendoza, Pastor and Roxas said that they want to be successful singers, but they are also open to doing acting projects.

“Honestly gusto ko pong mag-acting but I want to work on my diction first, kasi may Visayan accent ako, so I will take diction class po,” Roxas said.

“Okay lang po sa akin ang acting. Pero sana singing muna. Pero kung pwedeng pagsabayin, okay lang po. Sanay naman ako sa maraming trabaho,” added Pastor.

Pastor said that she is also willing to do sexy roles if needed.

Right now, the top 6 scholars with ex-sholars Sen, Bunny, Apple and Inaki are busy promoting their album titled “Scholars Sing Cayabyab” featuring the compositions of PDA Season 2’s headmaster Ryan Cayabyab.
