Jasmin “ Alberta’s Princess of Songs”

By: Beng Linco Frost

Jasmin is all geared up and ready for her trip back home to meet with
Mr. Vehnee Saturno, a prolific song writer and composer resident in the Philippines,
and to record an album. Jasmin is leaving on May 25, 2011. Mr. Tony Surtida of
Le Tigre Entertainment has advised that Mr. Saturno is waiting for Jasmin’s arrival.
Mr. Surtida added that Mr. Saturno is expecting to commence work the first week of June, 2011. Mr. Saturno will shortly be sending the compositions he made for Jasmin to Calgary.

Mr. Surtida will be flying to Manila in the 3^rd week of June and will stay with Jasmin until the album is recorded. At the same time, Mr. Surtida will wait for
Wency Bustos Calderon’s arrival, another talented singer of Le Tigre Entertainment’s
Pinoy Singing Sensation 2 in the Junior category, who also got an offer from
Mr. Saturno to record an album.

In talking with Jasmin, she shared her feelings with me about doing this project with Mr. Saturno. She is excited and at the same time scared. She expressed that she will do her best to make this project a success. When asked how she will sing the songs that Mr. Saturno has made for her, she replied without hesitation that
“ she will sing the songs from her heart and will do her best to connect with the people through her songs ”. She added that she will do everything she can to promote and sell her songs. When asked what her plans are for after the recording and promotion of her album, Jasmin replied that she will continue pursuing her music career and that she hoped to sing songs for Teleserye. However, she will take her singing career one step at a time and explore all opportunities that come her way.

Jasmin would like to express special thanks and gratitude to her partner,
Mr. Kenneth Murillo for supporting her, and also thanks Mr. Tony Surtida,
Ms. Christy Raspado, and all the staff at Le Tigre Entertainment, Robert Tamayo,
and all her sponsors who have supported her in her quest for stardom.
She would also like to thank her many friends who participated in the 3 concerts that she performed here in Calgary as well as yours truly, Beng Linco Frost,
for standing by her from the beginning of her journey.

Your friends wish all the best to you, Jasmin. We all wish you success in this venture. Calgary will be waiting for your return and your CD.
