NEWS FLASH: (STIR.PH) NINA, THE RELUCTANT DIAMOND STAR! - JANUARY 25, 2010
25 Jan 2010 | 09:22 AM
Awarded by Warner Music Philippines a Diamond award in recognition with the sales of her “Nina Live” CD exceeding the 200,000 unit sales, Nina opens up to STIR about personal issues like Nyoy Volante’s debt. Although she is happy with her non-showbiz boyfriend, her happiness is still incomplete without getting back the P1.4 million borrowed from her by the ex-lover.
Nina is one of the featured artists of ASAP XV’s concert series, a string of musical events in celebration of ASAP’s 15th year on television produced by ASAP Live! Catch Nina on March 5 and 6 at the Music Museum on March 5 and 6.
How does it feel to be awarded the country’s first ever Diamond award?
Thankful ako na ako yung unang napili na makaka-receive ng first female Diamond award.
Is the issue between you and Sarah Geronimo true? You’re the one who received the award and not her? May clash ba?
Hindi ko alam yun. Okay naman kami ni Sarah. Pag magkikita kami, nagse-say hello kami sa isa’t isa. Wala naman talagang clash na nanyayari between the two of us.
There are reports you made “yabang” about your award.
Hindi. Nahihiya pa nga akong sabihin na I’m a Diamond Star. Parang Maricel Soriano, di ba?
Aside from singing, you dance, right?
Bata pa ako, sumasayaw na rin ako. Kaya masaya ako dahil may iba pa pala akong talent aside from singing and I’m looking forward na madi-discover ko pa ang iba ko pang talent.
Can fans expect you to dance in your concerts?
Oo, actually marami ng nagre-request na in my concerts na sasayaw daw ako.
Handa ka na bang makikipag-settle kay Nyoy?
Siguro korte na magse-setle niyan.
How about an amicable settlement?
Paano nga kami mase-settle amicably kung wala talaga siyang kaplano-planong magbayad sa kanyang utang.
Kung bayaran ka na niya, open ka na magkasama kayo ulit sa shows?
Sa akin wala akong problema as long as babayaran niya utang niya. Pero siguro wala nang utangan.
Have you met each other lately?
Parang hindi ko magugustuhan kasi nung nagkasalubong kami parang wala lang, parang sobrang kampante siya at parang hindi ko nakikitang nahihiya man lang. Okay lang sana hindi niya ako kakausapin basta huwag lang siyan parang nabubungisngis.
Love life?
I’m happy with my non-showbiz BF.
How long have you been together?
Three years na kami.
Paano kayo nagkakakilala?
He is the brother of my former guitarist.
What’s his name?
Coy.
Mahilig ka pala sa mga may “oy?”
Parang ganun na nga. Hahaha! Pero malas yata ako dun sa una.
Parang nagagalit din kasi nakikita niyang nasasaktan na ako dahil sa ginagawa ni Nyoy sa akin.
Now na kayo na ni Goy, inuutangan ka ba niya?
Hindi pa naman.
Papautangin mo ba siya in case kailangan niya ng pera?
Ganun ba talaga? Siguro sa ngayon kailangan na ng written agreement, o kaya collateral. Pagdating sa pera siguro dapat pag-usapan muna bago ibigay ang tiwala mo.
Do you think Goy will borrow money from you like Nyoy?
Confident ako sa boyfriend ko ngayon na hindi niya ako uutangan.
What does he do for a living?
He's part of their family business.
What business?
Taxi business.
Lastly, what is your message to Nyoy?
Sana naman bayaran na niya utang niya para matapos na. Utang niya yun at dapat niyang bayaran. At sana maunawaan niya na kailangan ko rin ang pera na yun.

NEWS FLASH : (MANILA BULLETIN) SOUL SIREN SCORES HISTORIC FEAT - JANUARY 22, 2010
SOUL SIREN SCORES HISTORIC FEAT
Manila Bulletin, January 24, 2010Vocally talented and audience favorite Nina may have bagged her career's biggest achievement with one of her albums attaining the diamond record status. Her third album "Nina Live" already sold 200,000 units, enabling her to earn the milestone no other Filipina singer has done before.
In a press gathering promoting her upcoming shows, the so-called "Soul Siren" expressed her elation over her breakthrough album's accomplishment. She even sang songs from that overachieving record and got applauses even from hard-to-please critics.
"Sobrang sarap at fulfilling for me as a singer ang honor na ito. Actually nahihiya pa ako na matawag na 'diamond star,"' she told the pool of showbiz writers at Hard Rock Café in Makati last Wednesday afternoon.
The remarkable distinction puts Nina in the company of legendary acts Jose Mari Chan and Eraserheads. It also affirms the power of Pinoys' industry-shaking affair with revivals during the past decade, with Nina, in spite of delivering a big original in "Someday," serving as a frontrunner among noted local revivalists.
No surprise that when she was asked to pick between recording past hit songs and promising originals, she chose doing revivals. She reasoned, "Lalagyan mo na lang ng vocal style ang sikat na kanta. Mas madaling maka-relate ang listeners."
Nina is set to do a pre-Valentine show with Side A and Freestyle. She assures a "different repertoire" come her two-night Music Museum show on March 5 and 6, to be produced by Asap Live! as part of "ASAP XV's" concert series for the show's 15th year on TV. "Definitely it will not be the usual repertoire that I will do at the Music Museum, lalo na't 'ASAP' ang mag-proproduce," she said.
The ex-girlfriend of acoustic star Nyoy who wrote "Someday" is described as an elite member of the famed ASAP Sessionistas. Last year, she got another big break when she guested on an international variety chat show called "Asia Uncut." It marked only the second time that the popular Star World TV program had a Filipino as guest. International actress-singer Lea Salonga was the first.
As artist, Nina hinted quite a change in direction. "Hopefully this year magkaroon ako ng album na halos lahat originals," she mentioned. Obviously she's now one artist who can ask for demand from her label and expect a positive, immediate response.

Thus, numerous awards and recognitions came pouring in for the remarkable singer.
Last year, she was invited to guest in the international variety chat show entitled “Asia Uncut.” Her guesting made her the second Filipina to have ever set foot on the said popular Star World television program (the first was Lea Salonga.)
