PNT, A WAY TO DISCOVER YOURSELF……

by Olet “Diwata” Barnachea

Fresh,new faces showed up at Pacific Hut Restaurant last August 18,2013 for Calgary’s monthly elimination for Filipinos who have the potential of becoming a popular singing idol in the future. There were categories, for junior (ages 6 -14) and open category (ages 15 – 35). It has been a pleasure to watch all these talented, local homegrown, Filipino singers who love singing very much. Every month, there are two winners to be chosen, junior and open category. We really can not deny that in our roots flow the blood of an entertainer, for the fact that we just don’t love dancing, but we are also engaged in singing and sometimes even playing musical instruments. These kind of talents should not be hidden but instead, we should expose and show the world the unique gift and talent that a person has. Tight competition and huge prizes are at stake on this singing contest.. Monthly winners get monthly prizes. For the grand prizes, round trip tickets to the Philippines, pocket money, and a condo unit in a Manila for the open category are to be given away which are sponsored by Reyfort Media group in Vancouver, Pacific Hut Resturant, Pinoy Times, Pinoy Radio 94.7 FM, Pinoy TV Special, Rolymie, Star Express Cargo , Country Hills Toyota. Calgary’s Final winner will represent Calgary for PNT Canada wide search. We still have the monthly elmination dates, September 15,October 13, and November 17, 2013 at Pacific Hut Restaurant, 2:00 PM. So, to all talented and gifted Filipinos, just come and join the spectacular singing contest.
