My Sassy Mind

The eight (8) Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Scholars had been revealed on its official website already, however, there are still two scholars who haven't identified yet. ABS-CBN's Pinoy Dream Academy will have a special primer this Saturday, April 5 2008, same time with GMA-7's Pinoy Idol. According to some sources, Ryan Agoncillo will be the host and Ryan Cayabyab as headmaster. Anyway, here are the names of the 8 PDA's scholars: Christian Alvear of Taguig Manila, Kathrina Pambuena of Cainta Rizal, Hansen Nichols of Taguig City, Cristina Aldecoa of Mandaluyong City, Lamberto Reyes of Bulacan, Cristina Pastor of Paranaque City, Ann Frances Pasco of Angeles City Pampanga, and Jun Ross Dio of Quezon City.

Check out the pics and infos of each Pinoy Dream Academy scholars below. More photos and biography check will follow soon. As of now, let's check the images and brief information of each PDA scholars as summarized below:

Cristina Aldecoa Pics and Profile:

Cristina Aldecoa is 19 years old from Madaluyong City. Though she has been calling New York City home since she was 5-years-old, Cristina is always a Filipina at heart and visits her relatives in the Philippines as often as she could. They have deeply ingrained in her a love for music and she has since wanted to pursue her dream of performing. After meeting singer Carmen Patena in a charity event last July 2007, Cristina finally had the courage to leave everything behind in the US, including her studies as a first year pre-med student, and audition for Pinoy Dream Academy. Going after this ambition of hers is a big risk but for Cristina it’s now or never. “I realized that you don't let go of your dreams, I don’t want to be 30 and look back, tell myself 'di ko ginawa to. So I have to try.”


Hansen Nichols Pics and Profile:

Hansen Nichols is 23 years old from Taguig City. Hansen was one of the 30 NCR finalists in Pinoy Dream Academy's first season but unfortunately he didn't make it to the scholar shortlist. However for this Fil-Am guy, he's not ready to give up on his dream just yet and he's back to give singing another shot. Although his identical twin brother is pursuing an acting career in Hollywood, Hansen chose to follow his career in his home country. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer after surviving a car crash, Hansen was told that he might not sing again and almost did not push through with his surgery. He's very thankful though for he still has his voice and is able to share it with others. "It's worth the move, worth the sacrifice...It was a tough battle, but I'm still here."


Katrina Pambuena Pics and Profile:

Kathrina Pambuena is 20 years old from Cainta, Rizal. When Kathrina's former group disbanded, she didn't feel sad at all and has instead seen this as an opportunity to grow as a solo perfomer. Upon learning of the Pinoy Dream Academy auditions, this Nursing student knew that this was her time to shine. Some people have told her that she doesn't have what it takes to be successful in the music industry but Kathrina did not let those words get her down. And she's going to make these detractors of hers sit up and listen when she becomes a scholar on PDA's second

Christian Alvear Pics and Profile

Christian Alvear is 25 years old from Taguig, Manila. He may be short in stature but this Taguig resident’s talents more than make up for his lack of height (due to a growth deficiency). Aside from his impressive singing talent, effortlessly hitting the high notes, Christian is also a dubber for anime shows on ABS-CBN and Hero Channel. This small but terrible contender is also into jujitsu, which landed him a sidekick role in Cesar Montano’s “Bullet.”
