The show's comeback was teased in a video posted on Manzano's official Instagram account and shared on ABS-CBN's social media platforms.

‘The Voice USA' Winner Sofronio Vasquez to release EP produced by Michael Bublé
The Voice USA winner Sofronio Vasquez is gearing up for the release of his debut EP—produced by none other than his coach and mentor, Michael Bublé Vasquez shared details of the project during a recent media event ahead of his performance at the upcoming Bravo! Manila concert. 'I'm excited to share that Michael Bublé is producing my EP. We did some of the songs already. In our recent conversation, a duet Christmas song featuring me and him will be first. We're [also] doing an English-Tagalog song,' he said. The still-untitled EP will also feature collaborations with legendary musicians David Foster and Paul Anka. Vasquez said more information about the tracks and collaborations will be released via social media soon. As of writing, five songs have already been recorded. In addition to his work with Bublé, Vasquez is also working on a separate EP under ABS-CBN Music, with recordings taking place in New York. The singer also expressed hopes that Bublé would eventually join him on stage in the Philippines. 'Kinukulit ko talaga siya, 'Mag-guest ka naman sa concert ko.' Pero ayaw niya talaga. He said, 'When I come there, it has to be very particular and magical for both of us. It's going to be big for sure,'' he shared. When asked about the most valuable lesson he learned from Bublé during The Voice, Vasquez recalled one piece of advice that stuck with him: 'Sabi niya sa akin, 'Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.' At first, I hesitated to hold back, but I later realized he was right. That's how artists last in this industry—by knowing when to do more and when to do less.' Vasquez is set to perform alongside Jed Madela and Bituin Escalante at the Bravo! Manila concert on August 23 at The Theatre at Solaire.

Lea Salonga thrilled to be part of Netflix animated hit ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters'
Tony Award-winning singer and actress Lea Salonga expressed her excitement over being part of the hit animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, calling it a thrill to contribute even in a small role. In an interview with ABS-CBN's Yong Chavez on July 25, Salonga shared that she provided the singing voice for Celine, a former demon hunter who mentors a new generation of fighters in the movie. 'I sing one line, but it is one line I am so glad to have done because of how huge a hit [the film is],' Salonga said. A self-confessed BTS fan, Salonga gushed over the fact that members of the global K-pop group have watched the film and even sang songs from it. 'Does that mean I am now officially one degree away from BTS because of this movie? I mean, it's crazy,' she said. Salonga revealed that her involvement took only about an hour to record, with no clue at the time that the project would become a massive hit. 'I didn't know what was going to come of this. I am happy to have given an hour out of my life for what is now the biggest animated hit on Netflix,' she said. 'It's crazy. I'm so happy to have been a very, very small part of it.' Although she has yet to watch the full movie, Salonga said she is planning to make time, especially knowing BTS has seen it. Talking more about her admiration for the group, Salonga declared, 'I will follow BTS off a cliff,' recalling how she instantly became a fan after seeing member V in the music video for Dynamite. 'I try to endeavor to listen to music that is very different from mine, and I think that is why I like Right Place, Wrong Person as much as I do,' she added, referring to BTS member RM's recent solo album.
