ID, who comes from a musical family began her career as a vocalist and back-up singer of various bands. Even at an early age, she was so passionate about her craft and wanted to be in the league of professional singers. Years of dedication have paid off. In no time, ID became one of the most sought-after singers in the country.
Expectedly, awards came one after another - as more and more established singers were getting intimidated by ID's presence in the music industry. More than anything, ID was a true artist and a professional – someone who was bold and unafraid to try anything.
Some observers are amazed at how ID continues to enthrall people, even at times that she was gone from the country for long, the public still longs for her. Thus ID is allegedly never lacking in projects – enough to assume that she has earned considerable sums to tide her over. Reportedly, ID has made several investments here and abroad, really smart enough to make hay while the sun shines.
But alongside is her quirkiness, too - as some artists are said to possess.
In every performers' shows or gigs, normal payment procedures are done after the show, usually through checks especially if the artists talent fee is big. But events organizers in ID' s corporate shows reportedly wonder why ID demands to be paid in cash (not checks) before every show – or she will not perform. This happens all the time even if the company is a repeat client.
Until one day when ID told them why. She said that unless she is fully paid in cash before a show, she is a sluggish performer. Only the thought of a cold cash already paid to her before she goes onstage gives her a different high and immense energy to wow her audience to the hilt.

This is parinig queen! OMG! every news about her is always negative!
ReplyDeleteit is not her.... ung kasama niya
Deletende to yung sa b... si L to
DeleteHay naku, anon 12:18, nangunguna ka n naman, eh MALING MALI ka, shungels!
DeleteSya yung babaeng bago n ang mukha
DeleteInternational Diva daw. Hater si 12:18, taas ng tingin kay S. Kaya inggit na inggit.
DeleteSi N itech ng A! Lol
DeleteMali ka 'teh. ID is the namesake of an actress.
Deleteis L yung nakatira sa e:)
Deleteanda muna bago one more song? no anda, no song ang peg ni ate
ReplyDeleteok lang yun.. watever motivates her :)
DeleteI think she had money issues in the past. If I'm not mistaken, naloko siya
Deletetama lang yun..ang dami na kaseng manloloko ngayon kahit pa repeat client yun.
Deleteyea, okay lang un. diba may mga producers na naglipana, na ang tagal magbayad, magpapahabol pa... o at least pag ganyan ang setup, sure na bayad ang performance nia
Deleteher family was not that wealthy, and everything she is now enjoying is through hard work so i can imagine where she is coming from esp with a lot of untrustworthy in the business ( a lot of entertainers not paid and such stuff is not unheard of) ...
ReplyDeleteI can't blame her, I heard a lot of stories na hindi binabayaran ang performer after mag show kaya lesson na sa kanila yun. They also have a family to feed kaya dapat lang siguro na maging wise.
DeleteWhy not naman ano! With her talent dapat paid in full! Pak! Para-paraan lang yan
ReplyDeleteI think there is nothing wrong with that. She paid her dues. And she is an icon in her own right. As long she is nice to people who work for her, as long as she delivers. Keri na yan. Mas mahiya naman ang walang talent kung maka demand ng talent fee.
ReplyDeleteAgree. And I would take her remark in jest but still give her the cold cash if that's how she prefers to be paid. Keri lang yan, bawing-bawi naman sa performance nya eh!
DeleteOo nga. Organizers still get their money's worth as she seems to be very professional and obviously talented.
DeleteI loved her before all the plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteYes mas pretty sya
DeletePlastic surgery? Si L? Dont think so, anon 12:27.
DeleteAgree mas ganda ang mukha niya before now parang maga
Deletekorek! mas ok sya nun
DeleteMaganda sya sa 1st PS nya
Deleteanon 1:24 hindi pa ba halatang plastic surgery ung nangyari sa mukha nya? LOL
DeleteIs this c?
ReplyDeleteThe C? Wild guess.. Parang row 10 aketch today
ReplyDeletemagaling sya pero mas bet ko pa rin si ibon
ReplyDeletebefore gusto ko si ibon until later i realize mas gusto ko ang boses nitong isang to. mas may personality, hindi puro birit. well, to each his own.
DeleteIbon for me.
DeleteMas gusto ko rin ito kesa kay Ibon. Mas versatile sya at mas maganda.
DeleteMas bet ko si ibon kesa sa kanya
DeleteA. Yunn na!
ReplyDeleteFilipina version of Michael Jackson a.k.a. retoke queen.
ReplyDeleteWrooooong! Si L , ano k b, 12:31. .
DeleteSlow si Anon 2:57.
Deletemay pa-wrong pang remark si anon 2:57 e sya tong wrong...PAK!!!!
DeleteMukhang a ito dahil sa retoke.
ReplyDeleteL?
ReplyDeleteSi L lang talaga naiisip ko
ReplyDeleteSINO NGA SI L?
DeleteC N ng A
ReplyDeleteWala nman masama dun! Naninigurado Lang cguro cya kc maraming manunuba no! Ang masaklap eh Kung binayaran na cya Tapos magi-inarte cya Gaya nung ibang celebrities!
ReplyDeleteNasa title na initials nya. Super laki ng binata nya.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she had an experience with a bogus producer. Singer L looks like she overdid it with the surgeries though.
ReplyDeletePag cash ang involve mas madali doctorin ang taxes.
ReplyDeleteYou have evidence to back-up your claim?
Deleteyeah i was thinking money laundering but the others could be right in that maybe she's just being careful. which makes sense. besides, our country mostly deals in cash.
Deletekhit cash may rcpts pa rin saka sa tf nila bawas na automatucally ang withholding tax
Deletetama lang naman yon. minsan kasi di nababayaran kung ano na pag usapan. daming ganyan, sad to say.
ReplyDeleteSi L. Tama lang yan para sure na hindi mag bounce ang checks. And shes super talented worth it naman
ReplyDeleteCheck is good. But cash is better.
ReplyDeleteI don't see anything wrong with that. As long as she can make the audience happy through her songs. Win-win situation.
ReplyDeleteSi L na super ganda ng voice na mabirit din.
ReplyDeleteKaloka siya huh! Literrally mukhang pera. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat has something to do with taxes, walang papeles...
ReplyDeleteit has nothing to do with tax...
Deletepossible na tax reason kung di sya pumirma na kahit na anong cash voucher or walang written contract with tf indicated, pero kung meron, it defeats the purpose.
Deletenyek khit cash required pa rin ang resibo.. saka kung tutuusin mas pabor sa organizers na cash na wala rcpt kc pede nila iwasan magbyad ng evat
Deletesegurista lang siya kaya ganun! sa panahon ba naman ngayon dapat mag ingat ang mga performers sa mga bogus producers...baka din naman naloko na siya noon kaya nagsisiguro na siya ngayon diba?
ReplyDeleteWala akong nakikitang masama dun.
ReplyDeleteWell, tom. na lang
ReplyDeletelove her pag kumakanta .......powerful voice indeed
ReplyDeleteSi N ba itech ng A!? AHahahaha!
ReplyDeleteShe loves money???I love her nose!!!! and above all her voice :)
ReplyDeleteInitials are given in the title.
ReplyDeletec L to
ReplyDeleteYung mukhang a. Yun na!
ReplyDeleteah si L, well, she's really talented so she has every right to make demands
ReplyDeleteBaka bukas na maglalabasan ang mga clues.
ReplyDeleteA!!! -jirita jackson
ReplyDeleteat first akala ko si L ng B kasi "from a musical family" ibang "L" pala! ung tadtad na sa retoke!
ReplyDeletemakatadtad ka akala mo naman kilala mo sya ng personal...
Deletehmm, cash payment first before performance. reminds me of another profession that requires talent :)
ReplyDeleteshe deserves it. magaling sya, napakagaling. fantard ako ni ibon nung bata-bata ako...but as i grew older, narealize ko masmagaling si L.
ReplyDeletemay edad na to na halos di makilala after all the surgery, parang nag ibang tao. sa totoo lang kaya ko lang nalaman na sya pala yun dahil pinakilala sya pero kung di dahil sa introduction, ibang anyo talaga
ReplyDeletebaka cash din magbayad sa mga plastic surgeon nya
ReplyDeletebaka nagpupuno rin ng bathtub ala napoles kayo naman
ReplyDeleteDapat lang kasi di mo ma-trust ang mga producers or organizers. Baka maging ulan sa tag-araw, patak patak ang bayad, kung minsan yung barya sige na lang mabuti kesa di mabayaran. Tama siya, tama siya. International calibre ata.
ReplyDeleteAng ibon sa g?
ReplyDeleteButi na lang kamo kahit nagparetoke siya hindi naapektuhan ang boses niya, unlike La A.
ReplyDeletetalgang di maapektuhan.
DeleteEto yung nagmuka ng A dahil sa retoke
ReplyDeleteSi 'L' pala to. yung kalokalike ng A. Lol - Inday Kura
ReplyDeletegusto nya cash dahil maraming incidents na niloloko lang xa, kaya gora lang teh, kesejodang cash gusto mo, may maipag mamalaki naman gwapong pikoy
ReplyDeleteWalang masama sa cash payment. Usually kasi ang check ay may 3-day clearing period pa at kung provincial ang check mas matagal ang clearing period. So medyo matagal bago maging literal na pera.
DeleteSecond comment ko, sana di na siya nagparetoke ng bonggang bongga..No problem with her voice, she really delivers..At mas gusto ko ang mga tagalog songs niya mas may substance.
---mudrakels
If L delivers what is expected of her, why not. Ibinibalik naman Nya yun worth ng pera na ibinayad sa kanya.
ReplyDeleteL is goo kaya lng makaluma ang mga kanta..iBON THE BEST at kayang magblend sa panahon
ReplyDeletemakaluma is not necessarily a bad thing. the market that appreciates that kind of music is the type who can afford to attend her concerts.
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with that as long as she's doing her work. She deserves it anyway.
ReplyDeleteBasta declare lang niya ng tama ang cold cash na kinita niya sa kanyang income tax return oks lang iyan.
ReplyDeletetama lang. she is asked to sing to please the audience for an event. if she delivers, no problem with cash.
ReplyDeleteis she avoiding to pay high taxes?
ReplyDeletenaloko na kc sya before so its not surprising... she's worth the price ...cash or check
ReplyDeletesi n ba to?
ReplyDeleteayaw kase niya na tom pa siya babayaran.. Lol
ReplyDeleteEaaaazy. Nasa title naman lagi ang initials ng bida e. L ..first row!
ReplyDeleteThat's perfectly fine! And she gets the job done! Love you ID! At totoo nga... It's a preventive measure! I'd love to do thesame!
ReplyDeleteL ng b to....;)
ReplyDeletekung ang katapat ba naman ng pagiging atat sa pera eh world class performance? why not? wala pa naman akong naririnig na sumablay siya sa performances niya. unlike yung iba na matapos mabayaran eh so-so ang performance. kumbaga, nagpakita lang sa venue masabi lang na na-fulfill yung commitment. off-topic: anyway, if this is really L, nagustuhan ko yung boses niya nung kumanta sila. hindi siya nabirit pero nangingibabaw talaga boses niya without the need to upstage the others. unlike Kawayan.
ReplyDeletegood point. i remember the BI here about the performer who didn't perform well and just sang a few songs
DeleteIf this is L.. If I remember correctly, there was a time na hindi siya nabayaran sa kanyang performance. Maybe that's the reason. Ayaw na niya maulit. It took years of sacrifice and hardwork to be where she is and then lolokohin ka lang. I guess she deserves to demand. After all, sulit naman ang ibabayad.
ReplyDeleteI personally don't find anything wrong with this. Kanya kanya lang yan. Wala pa akong narinig na nagreklamo about sa mga live performances nya unlike other singers. Sulit ang bayad. More power!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIbon is far better. This A cannot sustain her high notes.
ReplyDeletesi A ito. naloko na kase sila. nothing wrong with this attitude. what would be wrong is if she wants more than what producers can afford.
ReplyDeleteThis is Local W turned B doll..
ReplyDeletebaka naman matindi ang panganga-ilangan. aba! mahal ang gatas ngayon!
ReplyDeleteL...:)
ReplyDeleteah, si A queen itey. pero magaling talaga sya. im a fan of her.
ReplyDeleteShe is known to be a person of respect of her wit and worldclass talentyet she has something that is not worth what she is receiving from people who admire her. love for money? tsk.tsk. turnoff!
ReplyDeleteFact is, she got entangled in some scams.
