Bea Binene’s Dito sa Puso Ko Press Conference

Bea Binene and Ken Chan

The debut album of teen star Bea Binene, Hey It’s Me and its Christmas edition proved to be a success that a sophomore effort, Dito Sa Puso Ko was released soon after. In this album, Bea Binene teams up with fellow teen star Ken Chan as they offer 10 pop tracks geared towards a booming teen market.

The album Dito Sa Puso Ko, released by Galaxy Records and distributed by Polyeast Records, features a mix of covers culled various decades with fresh and updated arrangements enabling the current teen listeners to get acquainted with songs from the past. Kicking off the album is the title track, originally recorded by Ogie Alcasid and given a bubbly pop sound in Bea’s version.

Other songs by Bea in the album include the immortal high school graduation anthem High School, DJ Alvaro’s Ang Tipo Kong Lalaki. Her latest album also sees Bea recording her first ever original track, entitled Asa Ka Pa, a fun track about a disinterested girl telling a persistent guy just to leave her be.

Ken Chan is heavily featured in the album with solo tracks such as Nais Ko Malaman Mo and both the regular and extended versions of Sumayaw Sumunod. The tandem has also recorded a number of duets as well that include the resurging dance hit Whoops Kirri, Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang and Bakit Labis Kita Mahal.

I guess that this album is one way of building Bea and Ken as a love tandem. And I guess it worked during the press conference held at the Sequoia Hotel for both Bea and Ken were asked by some entertainment writers about the true nature of their relationship.

This music endeavor is but one of the many facets in Bea Binene’s life. Starting out as a child actress, Bea has also ventured into martial arts specifically wushu. Her busy schedule doesn’t allow her to train as much as she wants to but she is willing to return to it soon. Her involvement in wushu has increased the profile of the martial art in the country. And in terms of music, she is currently learning how to play the guitar, proudly announcing that she has now acquired the calluses in her fingers, common to those playing the instrument.
