Wealth of talents

Singer Ogie Alcasid is amazed by the number of aspirants in the TV5 show “Rising Star”: “I’ve been to several auditions … and I saw that there were a lot of good singers. In each session, the short list was narrowed down to 20, but only two or three were chosen. [Many] waited for a whole day, only to be sent home. I feel for them.” Marinel R. Cruz
