YENG CONSTANTINO: First Filipino and Asian Ambassadress at the Academy of Rock

Academy of Rock Amabassadress, Yeng Constantino

The voice behind the hit songs, "Hawak Kamay" and "Salamat," had really gone a long, long way... 

Another Filipino's pride and gem, Philippines Rock Princess, Yeng Constantino is the first Filipino and Asian Ambassadress at the Academy of Rock.

It took only less than a year for singer/songwriter/musician Yeng Constantino to achieve one of her greatest dreams, to be an international star and at the same time take part in educating and raising the musicality of youth. For a refresher, Yeng performed last year, June 22, 2012 together with Raymond Marasigan of Sandwich, at the grand launch of Academy of Rock Philippines branch located at the Powerplant Mall, Makati City. Owing to her live and astounding performance of her song, "Salamat," right after the show, the people behind the school (Jeremy Ward of Rockschool UK, Charl4es Lim and PriscillaTeo of Academy of Rock in Singapore) decided to include her song, "Salamat," in AOR's syllabus and gave her an Honorary Licentiate Diploma. Yeng is the 7th person to be given this award amongartists from all over the world for being a top notch performer and musician. 

And to receive her award, she went to AOR Singapore and performed but due to a technical glitch, it prompted her to perform "Salamat" live without any hesitation, I believe that is one of Yeng's valuable and distinct characters that makes her stand out and that also sets her to where she is right now. Guess what happened next? For the second time, she had all the management of the school's approval and were all very impressed, thus, she is now the official Academy of Rock's Ambassadress as she signed her contract at the AOR school at the Powerplant Mall, Rockwell, Makati City just recently.

Wacky!!! :D

After the contract signing, the very amiable Yeng answered all the questions being thrown to her. She even candidly admitted having a "crush" on celebrity heartthrob Enchong Dee, who got to play her partner in her music video, "Chinito." What's so special about Enchong? 'Gwapo s'ya, macho tapos mabait, tapos nung music video shoot namin 'di s'ya naiinip, parang chill lang s'ya. Kinikilig ako sa kanya, nakakatuwa s'ya, Yeng openly said. 

The very bubbly Yeng cared to pose on my cam, during the Q & A 

Another great news for all Yengsters and all her avid fans, supporters and followers! Yeng Constantino and Bamboo will be having a major concert at the Araneta Coliseum this coming August. According to her, expect big surprises and great show for everyone. 

Yeng was showing her very precious necklace given to her as a gift by the AOR management

Here's Academy of Rock's newest ambassadress and another Pinoy pride, Yeng Constantino's closing message to everyone: "Sa mga sumusuporta po sa'kin, maraming-maraming salamat po sa pagmamahal ninyo, at unti-unti na pong natutupad 'yung mga pangarap na bumubuo po sa aking puso. Sana po abangan ninyo 'yung mga mangyayari sa'kin, at suportahan n'yo po 'yung mga susunod kong proyekto, God bless you all! Thank You!" 

Best of luck and God bless you too, Yenggay! Congratulations! We love you!!! 

That's me, with Yeng! :)) Love this!
