No Party for Loisa Andalio but Her Debut Will Still be Something Big

For her 18th birthday, Loisa Andalio initially wished for something grand, just like Kathryn Bernardo's debut in April 2014.

Instead, she opted for a simple family dinner. 

But surprises come in many forms, and the one for Loisa arrived much earlier than her actual birthday on April 21.

At a blogcon held last April 4, she related, "Actually po, nung bata ako, as in gusto ko magkaroon ng magandang debut.

"Yung mga parang princess din.

"Kasi hindi pa ako artista, napanood ko yung debut ni Kathryn, sabi ko, 'Wow, ang ganda ng debut niya, sana magkaroon din ako ng ganyan debut.'

"Pero impossible yun kasi hindi naman kami ganun kayaman, e.

"Yung papa ko, simple lang yung trabaho niya, hindi ganun kalaki yung kita.

"Ngayon, tinanong ako ni Papa kung anong gusto kong gawin sa debut ko, sabi ko, kahit kumain lang sa labas ganyan para tipid."

But guess what? She will be given a birthday concert, which is happening on April 29, at the Music Museum!

Loisa said, "Nagulat ako kasi hindi ko ine-expect na bibigyan ako ng concert sa special day ko, kasi nga di ba gusto ko lang po simpleng celebration lang, kakain lang sa labas.

"Pero binigyan ako ng Star Music at Star Events ng ganitong opportunity na magkakaroon po akong debut concert sa special day ko po."

Meanwhile, her pre-debut photos were released by Nice Print Photography last April 5 and they captured her innocent and sweet charm.

Effie Go Inigo was her makeup artist.

When asked about her birthday wish, Loisa replied, "Lagi ko namang wini-wish na ano... mas marami pang blessing yung dumating sa akin, and magandang health para sa akin and sa family ko.

"Ayun, wish ko din na sana maging successful 'tong concert na gagawin ko, na maging maganda talaga ito."
