Singer Michael Pangilinan on Tuesday said that he is very much happy to be a part of a new boy group “Harana.”
“I’m enjoying so far. I don’t have any regrets in joining this group,” Michael told INQUIRER.net. Michael was chosen to be a part of “Harana,” a budding group composed of young ABS-CBN heartthrobs, together with Joseph Marco, Bryan Santos and Marlo Mortel.
“They are very good friends and we are learning a lot from each other. It is so much fun to work with them,” Michael said.
Michael is the voice behind the hit song “Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako,” an entry to Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs last year.
He first got the attention of record producers when he joined the reality show X-Factor Philippines in 2011.
