The Philippine Canadian Inquirer sat with GMA Kapuso actress and singer Glaiza de Castro from the sidelines of \u2018Pinoy Fiesta, Unang Hirit sa Tag-init<\/em>\u2019 at Memorial South Park on Ross St., British Columbia and talked about her acting and singing career and how she\u2019s able to juggle both.<\/p>\n

Before Glaiza serenaded the Filipino crowd with songs from her new album, Magandang Simulain<\/em>, she recalled what ignited her passion for the screen and music.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove ko po talaga ang<\/em> singing. Bata pa ako<\/em>, priority ko talaga ang pagkanta<\/em>. Our family is musically inclined so I think doon ko nakuha ang<\/em> passion and love ko<\/em> for music [I really love singing. Even when I was young, singing was really my priority. Our family is musically inclined so I think that\u2019s where I got my passion and love for music],\u201d Glaiza recalled.<\/p>\n

Glaiza was born to a family of singers and an actor. Her parents were musicians who toured Asia while her uncle is the Filipino actor Dan Alvaro.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when I was growing up, I was having more opportunities as an actor so mas nagtagal po ako doon at mas nagconcentrate ako<\/em> [so I spent a longer time in it and concentrated more (to it)]. I grew up loving the job,\u201d Glaiza added.<\/p>\n

Glaiza acted and sang simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Her acting career started in 2001 when she landed a role in the television series Ikaw lang ang Mamahalin<\/em>. She was 13. During the same year, her first album, Magbalik Ka, <\/em>was released.<\/p>\n

Since then, Glaiza has been juggling acting and singing.<\/p>\n

Despite having regular TV shows when her acting career took off in the mid-2000s, she didn\u2019t put music on the back burner. She continued to star in hit TV series as well as the big screen and release music albums in 2006 and 2015.<\/p>\n

As she launched her third album titled Synthesis in 2015, Glaiza realized how she can use music to express herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cNoong<\/em> [In] 2015, I produced an independent album. That was Sythesis, puro<\/em> originals \u2018yan<\/em> [it was all original]. Mas nag<\/em>-grow yung passion ko sa<\/em> music kasi <\/em>own compositions ko na \u2018yon<\/em>. Kumbaga<\/em>, mas na e<\/em>-excite ako<\/em> to share my music to people. [My passion in music grew because those are my own compositions. In a sense, I am more excited to share my music to people],\u201d Glaiza said.<\/p>\n

Two years later, Glaiza is back on track to take over the Filipino music scene with her latest album, Magandang Simulain<\/em>. Released May this year, Magandang Simulain<\/em> features original composition as well as revivals of classic Original Pinoy<\/em> Music (OPM) songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMagandang Simulain<\/em>, that\u2019s my fourth album and it\u2019s under PolyEast Records. It\u2019s a co-production between me and the label,\u201d Glaiza said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cExciting kasi mayroon po akong apat na<\/em> revival songs na puro<\/em> OPM tapos may apat din ako na<\/em> originals. Yung mga<\/em> revival songs ko naman galing sa Asin<\/em>, sa Juan dela Cruz<\/em> [It\u2019s exciting because I have four revival songs of purely OPM and I also have four originals. The revival songs are from Asin, from Juan dela Cruz],\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

As for her acting career, Glaiza assured her fans that they will still be seeing more of her on screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cYung<\/em> acting, for sure. May<\/em> naka<\/em>line-up na<\/em> but we haven\u2019t discussed it yet. So baka po pag-uwi ko<\/em>, mag<\/em>meeting kami para doon sa bagong<\/em> TV show [The acting, for sure. There\u2019s one lined-up but we haven\u2019t discussed it yet. So maybe when I head home, we will have a meeting for the new TV show],\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Teased about her lovelife, Glaiza said that she tying the knots is unlikely to happen soon.<\/p>\n

Glaiza was on her second trip to Vancouver. \u201cEverytime na nag va-Vancouver ako, palaging bitin [Everytime I go to Vancouver, it always feels too short]. I come here, have a show, and fly out. Sana next time mas matagal na [I hope that my stay would be longer next time],\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Glaiza is heading to Toronto on August 20 for the final leg of her Canadian tour. Fans can catch the actress-singer at Prestige by Night on Dufferin St.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
