Singer Zephanie Dimaranan is ready to spread her wings as she is launched as part of the Sparkle family of GMA.
“Acting is in my bucketlist,” said the 19-year-old “Idol Philippines” champion at her press con Thursday.
She is ready to build new relationships and go on new adventures in her first home – GMA.
“I started [my career] on GMA,” she revealed. “Acting po kasi we thought it was a singing contest yun pala teleserye sya about singing contests. But isa po ako sa mga napili dun.”
She was only 9 years old when she became part of the GMA soap, “Biritera,” in 2012.
On her return to the Kapuso fold, Zephanie wants to work with the likes of Julie Anne San Jose, Lani Misalucha, Mark Bautista and Christian Bautista.
When it comes to acting, she would like to be paired with Jhake Vargas and Derrick Monasterio.
“Masaya ako sa bagong chapter. I’m really excited to be back on stage,” she said.
“This is where I want to grow,” she added, saying that she wants to try drama and teen romance genres.
In real life, romance is far from her mind.
“Kung ibibigay ni Lord…,” she trailed off.
Tall and moreno are what she looks for in a guy. If he could carry a tune, that would be a plus.
“May dating pag kumakanta sya, lalo na kung OPM or kundiman, iba talaga ang dating,” she confessed.
GMA’s Gigi Lara and Sparkle’s Johnny Manahan formally welcomed Zephanie to the Kapuso network.
“We are very happy to welcome Zephanie to the Sparkle family. She will be singing the summer theme for Sparkle so we hope everyone will watch out for that! Her Kapuso family is also excitedto welcome Zephanie in ‘All Out Sundays’ this Sunday. We really want to harness the powerhousetalent of Zephanie, to watch her grow as an artist, and to see her in more programs and projectsin GMA,” Gigi Santiago-Lara, senior assistant vice president for Alternative Productions, said.
Cornerstone’s Vice President of Cornerstone Entertainment Jeff Vadillo shared, “We are excited, Zephanie will shine even more with our new partnership with Sparkle. Looking forward to new possibilities and platforms where Zephanie can showcase her talents.”
