Ex-PDA graduate Iya Ginez now successful singer in Guam

Former graduate of reality show "Philippine Dream Academy" (PDA) Iya Ginez is now making a name for herself outside the country.
Dubbed as the "Crying Lady" of PDA's first season, Ginez is now a well-known performer doing shows in Guam.
The singer said she is really enjoying her life and doing well in her newfound place, together with other Filipina entertainers.
Like other professional artists, they are following Guam's strict rule of not entertaining customers at the table or receiving tips.
Some artists committed this violation in past years, leading to a stint in jail.
"Maingat kami talaga, ayaw ko din namang makompromiso o mapahiya mga Pilipino, okay na kasi ngayon, 'di tulad dati," Ginez said.
Aside from preparing for her debut album that will first be released in Manila, Ginez is also set to renew her US working visa.
"Natuloy (talaga) ang aking dream dito sa Guam," Ginez added.
The singer said she is still wishing to get back inside the Academy not to compete or to be one of the scholars but just to see her idol, international performer Billy Crawford.
"My God! Para lang mayakap ko ang idol ko Billy Crawford! Papasukin nila ulit ako," Ginez said.
Gianna Marie "Iya" Ginez in real life is a free spirit that learned to trust herself inside the Academy. "Trusting yourself" were the words she learned from then-Academy headmaster APO member Jim Paredes.
She was then linked to Jay-R Siaboc. In October 29, 2006 after staying for nine weeks in the Academy, Ginez ended her stint in PDA.

she's so malandi when u get to know her personaly. she's not humble. i swear. myabang siya. although she's really good when it comes to singing. her attitude was really bad. pinagyayabang niya na sumikat siya. that's why jay-r broke up with her.
