Bugoy Drilon

"I am not keen yet on falling in love. I have a career that started well, and so I have to give it my entire attention,” Bugoy stressed during an informal dialogue with some entertainment writers. Bugoy Drilon is indeed sincere with his statement. Like any artist that was suddenly catapulted to the limelight, Bugoy is now so busy with his singing career.

His second album, simply titled “Bugoy,” features seven OPM (Original Pilipino Music), one of which – “Paano Na Kaya” – became a hit and was used as the official soundtrack in a recent Star Cinema movie with the same title.

The other songs are “Hindi Na Bale,” “Dahil Tanging Ikaw,” “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin,” “Ikaw Ang Mamahalin,” “Pagkat Mahal Kita,” “Sana’y Ibigin Mo,” and “Paano Na Kaya.”

The album was produced, for Star Records, by well-known composer Vehnee Saturno.

The album’s carrier single, “Hindi Na Bale,” is now enjoying good airplay in various radio stations nationwide and is being used as a sub-love theme song in ABS-CBN’s “Tanging Yaman” drama series.

Happily, Bugoy said that as an artist he has been booked with other performers abroad, and he has visited the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Golden Gate in San Francisco, California and Dubai in UAE, among other places abroad. Bugoy is the male counterpart of Cinderella!

“I have already bought my car, a Ford,” Bugoy also revealed. And the Belo medical group is taking care of his appearance. “Nothing was changed on my body,” he added. “There was only a slight enhancement of my looks.”

In spite of his celebrity status now, Bugoy still looks simple – the only difference is that he is wearing now more expensive or signature clothings and attire.

Bugoy won as the Second Star Dreamer in the “Pinoy Dream Academy” Season Two wherein he won more than P1-million worth of prizes.

“I gave the money to my mother,” Bugoy said.

“I believe luck favored me much, but even then, that was not enough,” he stressed. “I have to work hard also, especially now that I am in the limelight!”

His album is now available in all record bars nationwide.
