The members are Karl, Marco, Sean, Josh, Clay, Tim and Rocky. They underwent singing, dancing and acting workshops to prepare themselves for projects like the Feb. 27 concert at the Music Museum.

Before the TV series “Wildflower” ends today, the three leads (Maja Salvador, Vin Abrenica and Joseph Marco) treated the Cebu audience with a song-and-dance show called “Maja On Stage Live in Cebu” at the IEC3 last Sunday.
Maja showed that she is not only an intense actress but also a good singer and dancer.
Maja revealed that she is a devotee of the Sto. Niño. Her mom, also a devotee, inspired her to be one. Maja has queued up at the Basilica Minore at dawn to get close to the image of the Holy Child for several years now.
