MR. PURE Energy Gary Valenciano, who is celebrating his 25th year in the music industry, visited the eleven remaining scholars inside the Pinoy Dream Academy (PDA).
He shared with them some words of wisdom. He also sang songs with them.
The scholars were pleasantly surprised by the unannounced visit of Valenciano who listened to them relate how their love for music started.
Valenciano shared in turn insights on the music industry.
He also advised them to never give music up, to sing not to impress but to express, to give their 100 percent in everything that they do, and to make sure that they touch hearts whenever they perform.
He also reminded the scholars that there is a big difference between excellence and perfection.
As his talk with the scholars came to a close, he asked Bugoy to demonstrate expressive singing to stress its difference from impressive singing.
While Bugoy was in the middle of his performance, Uberture host Billy Crawford entered the Academy and talked Valenciano into jamming with them.
Valenciano gamely gave in to Billy's request and sang "Shake It Off" and the remix of "Shout For Joy". Billy and the scholars danced along.
PDA airs from Monday to Friday after "My Girl" on ABS-CBN 2. (JRDB/Sunnex)
