HARD TALK
ni Pilar Mateo
UMALAGWA si Isha Ponti sa larangan ng musika. Nakagawa na rin ng sariling pangalan sa mga awit na umiikot na sa sari-saring music platforms.
Ngayon naman, ang kanyang tiyuhin na si Raymond Gorospe ang susuportahan ng kanilang produksiyon sa konsiyerto nito sa Oktubre 2, 2026. Sa Capitol Hills Drive Celebrity Club.
Si Raymond na nakilala na namin sa panahon ng That’s Entertainment ni Kuya Germs. Guestings left and right.
“I’ve been singing in different events from birth to death hahaha..Parang hosting hahaha… and to be given this chance… it’s like an unfinished business… and I believe in perfect timing. HIS time,” kuwento niya.
“I still remember those simple days—singing in school programs at CEU, joining the flag ceremony and singing the National Anthem, climbing on top of a table and pretending it was my stage.
“I would sing along with the radio, record my voice on a cassette player, play it back, and sing again. No fancy microphones. No studio. No social media.
“Just a young boy, a song, and a dream.
“Looking back, those little moments were the beginning of everything. From a cassette player and a radio… to a lifetime of singing. What a beautiful journey it has been.
“So, this is my story, my music. Ang singing journey ko. Kaya kinda nostalgic siya. At ang gagawa o magma-mount ng concert is Ponti Entertainment.”
Ang nagtiwala.
“Isha’s mom is my 1st cousin. We grew up together… She’s been telling me to do it na…since I’m doing several things..I couldn’t find enough time and it just happened. We grew up together in one ancestral house in a compound in QC near Erod.
“The dream started after college, I was discovered in a mall before meeting my college friends… I was about to graduate na from Nursing.
“So when I got a full time job..Hihinto lahat. From singing, hosting and acting. Then some directors will get me to appear on tv and movies. ‘Pag free ako during weekends ‘yun noon.
“Then after I graduated I was involved in Dragon boat rowing , competing here and internationally.. I am still rowing with my original team. We competed last year as senior category and won medals.”
Now, life has presented him with a different tune.
“In time for the concert, mayroon akong two songs na ihahatid sa manonood… an inspirational song and a very cute song. ‘Bawat Umaga’ by Direk Sam and ‘Miss Universe’ by Eric Diao.”
Ano ang hatid ng kanyang journey?
“Since it’s going to be my journey and music…I’ll be singing duets, as group with my singer friend who I met, worked with along the way. Then my in memoriam for two singer friends who we lost this year…”
