Angeline Quinto Grateful for Many Blessings

Blessings continue to pour in for “Star Power” grand winner Angeline Quinto.

Aside from performing the theme songs of various ABS-CBN shows, including “100 Days” and “Kris TV,” and radio dzMM, Quinto has been tapped to sing the new tourism campaign of the country called “Choose Philippines.”

Now dubbed as the “Theme Song Diva,” the rising singer said it is a privilege to represent the country in such a manner.

Among many projects lined up for Quinto is a solo concert that will take place once she comes back from the United States where she would join Sharon Cuneta’s concert tour.

Cuneta’s concert is Quinto’s first out-the-country show, and she promised to do her best.

On top of her music career, Quinto will also get to star in a teleserye.

Quinto disclosed that it is her dream to be paired with her idol, young actor Coco Martin.

Quinto is praying that she would remain healthy so that she can fulfill all her commitments.

With fame came intrigues. After winning “Star Power,” Quinto has endured being compared to Pop Star Princes Sarah Geronimo.

But Quinto appealed to the public to stop comparing her with Geronimo.

She also dispelled rumors that she would replace Geronimo, a belter like herself, on musical variety show “ASAP Rocks.”
