August 30th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Hi Vans… I am proud of being Bisayang Dako or better known as ” Bisdak” because you lifted one again the unique talent of the Sugbuanon here in Cebu after Sheryn Regis, Ryan Racal, Christine Fernandez,Ana Fegi, Jimmy Marquez,Dionne, Panky Trinidad, Jhay-r Siaboc, Nocole and Kim Chiu … You showed your talent with no hesitation at all especially on those various gala night. I see it in your eyes during those nights..I know that u can make it to the top.
You got the looks and the talent. Star quality is already vested in you. There are negative comment about ur singing powess. They mentioned that u dont have the perfect voice in the academy… But mine you, the purpose of the academy is to mold the scholar from a raw talent into a good or better performer. I know that van qualifies that requirements. That is why, our support here in Cebu is 200% especially in the City Government.
Now, you are in the top 6, i hope that u will continue to uphold the strong determination to be the next big thing in the Music Industry. Intrigue is a part of the game and i hope that u will not be affected with that matter… A Negative or a positive issue is a plus factor of a certain star and that’s real world in showbusiness. My advise is that you should not look at urself that u are a star already but you must be focused on your craft as an artist, of what thing that you can showcase with your fans and future fans …
Individual talent should bind with hardship, self-determination, faith in God and most of all is that your feet is still within the ground.
V-Victorious of his battle
A-Ambition with hardship and determination
N-New Star will be borne from Cebu
Go Van, Go Van, Go Van……
I am very much positive that the Star Record will gain profit on your talent and i doubt with laarni, boguy, zyl with 0% personality…
One united votes for Van Louelle Pojas…
And the Our New Grand Star Dreamer!!!!!!

“OH BAN”
Mugna ni:Kouligne
Gipahinoungod kay:Van Louelle Pojas
O Van nga kanunay kon ginahandum
Ang kasingkasing ko nagpabiling malaumon
Nga pipila ka adlaw magsugod karon
Ikaw makita ko dili lamang sa telebisyon.
Kanunayng nagahilak kining akong dughan
Sa matag adlaw nga ikaw dili ko masiplatan
Daw sama sa gikumot kining akong bugan
Sa sobra kasakit daw ako mapus-an.
Sa imong katahum ako gayud nahulog,
Nabalintong,naligid ingon man nakalog
Dughan ko nagdahunog daw sama sa dalogdog
Kay ang imong panagway sa akoa makapahubog.
Apan sa gihapon ako magapadayon
Niining mga damggo ingon man ilusyon
Kay nahibalo ako ng amuabot ra ang panahon
Nga ako diha sa imong mga bukton mahimong magmalipayon.
…,\sna ma appreciate muh 2ng tulang ginawa ko pra sau’
