Maraming dapat ipagpasalamat si Yeng Constantino, kaya naman Salamat ang pamagat ng kanyang debut album (at title track) na ire-release ng Dream Music (isang imprint ng Star Records).
Ang awiting Salamat ay bale thank-you note ni Yeng sa kanyang mga tagahanga, na ang iba’y bumuo ng fans club gaya ng Churvers at The Yeng Speak Society.
Ang chorus ng naturang awitin ay: "Ang awiting ito’y para sa inyo/ At kung maubos ang tinig/ Di magsisisi/ Dahil iyong narinig mula sa labi ko/ Salamat, salamat"
Sampung awit ang nakapaloob sa album, kabilang ang bersyon ni Yeng ng Bulag, Pipi at Bingi.
Syanga pala, pangungunahan ni Yeng ang Dream Concert Tour na nagtatampok sa PDA Headmaster’s Honor List of Six.
Magtatanghal sina Yeng, Jay-R, Ronnie, Panky, Irish at Chad Peralta sa Pebrero 2 sa Cebu Coliseum, sa Pebrero 10 sa Expo Filipino (Clark Field, Pampanga), at sa Pebrero 14 sa Aliw Theater (Manila).
Yeng attains her dreams
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SINCE she was crowned the Grand Star Dreamer of the first season of "Pinoy Dream Academy," Yeng Constan-tino had a lot of reasons to be thankful.
That explains the title of her debut album, a 10-track collection, titled "Salamat." Released by Dream Music (an imprint of Star Records), the album is Yeng’s way of thanking the people who helped her get to where she is today.
In fact, that is the very thing the title track is about. As most people know, Yeng is a prolific songwriter and she wrote many songs during her stint as a scholar. One of them is "Salamat," a thank you note to her many fans and fan clubs including the Churvers and the Yeng Speak Society.
Its chorus goes, "Ang awiting ito’y para sa inyo. At kung maubos ang tinig, ‘di magsisi dahil iyong narinig mula sa labi ko, Salamat, salamat…"
Proof of Yeng’s exceptional talent as a songwriter is that she wrote most of the record herself. "She wrote around 60% of the songs," says Jon Ilagan, Manager of Dream Big Productions, the company that handles not only her career, but those of her fellow "Pinoy Dream Academy" graduates as well.
The album only includes one cover—her take on the Freddie Aguilar classic "Bulag, Pipi at Bingi," a song she sang on the show to thunderous applause. The album also includes songs written by the following: One Alvin Gonzales ("Pangarap Lang," a finalist of the Dream Songwriting Competition); fellow graduates Davey Langit ("Cool Off") and her best friend in the Academy RJ Jimenez ("If We Fall in Love," also the theme song for the Koreanovela "Princess Hours").
One track sees her collaborating with Cebalo—a band formed by fellow graduates Davey, Panky Trinidad, Yvan Lambatan and Eman Abatayo.
Says Jon of her songwriting ability, "She writes very meaningful songs. Matindi ang pinaghuhugutan niya."
Yeng has been through a lot, primarily because her family is not well-off. In fact, the house that they lived in before she joined "Pinoy Dream Academy" was to be demolished last November because they were only squatting on the property. That is another reason why she is thankful for winning — among her prizes was a condo unit from G.A. Towers, so now they have a place to live.
She also won a brand-new Suzuki PAV eight-seater family wagon, but ironically, no one in her family can drive.
Ultimately, her most valuable prize was that her music career got a second lease on life. Before "Pinoy Dream Academy," she was all set to give up her dream of singing in favor for a real job.
Now, with the release of "Salamat," Yeng will surely have more reasons to be thankful. _________________
MAY female counterpart na si Ogie Alcasid, si Josephine ‘Yeng’ Constantino.
The grand winner of Pinoy Dream Academy, Yeng recently turned 18 lang last Dec. 4, nasa ‘school’ pa yata sila noon. For winning the top honor, Yeng got a cool P1 million pesos cash, a condo unit and a car na pinalitan agad ng isang van.
Bukod doon, may extra fifty thousand pesos pa siya as payment ng Star Cinema for her song Hawak Kamay na ginamit sa movie na Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo at nanalo ring Best Festival Song.
Nagsimula rin si Yeng bilang part of a band the same way that Ogie started with a choral, ang Kundirana.
Ngayon, ang balak ni Yeng, siya lahat ang mag- compose ng mga kakantahin niya, just like Ogie and if other singers ask her to compose one for them, she would gladly do so rin, just like Ogie pa rin.
Si Ogie lang kasi ngayon ang male singer who composes his own songs. Ganito rin ang binabalak ni Yeng dahil more than singing, she loves composing more.
Kita naman ito sa kanyang first hit, ang Hawak Kamay nga.

YENG, pinag-aagawan nina RJ at Jay-R
Ang Pilipino STAR Ngayon 02/03/2007
Gaano katotoo na galit ang ilang staff ng Dream Big Productions kay RJ ‘Tuesday’ Jimenez dahil nangungulit daw ito kay 1st Grand Star Dreamer, Yeng Constantino?
Ayon sa tsika sa amin ng taga DBP ay, "iritable na ang mga bossing namin d’yan kay RJ kasi walang ginawa kundi buntutan si Yeng maski saan shows, e, hindi naman pupuwede ‘yun ateng, siyempre nagta-trabaho ang bagets, tapos heto ang RJ, kung anik-anik ang sinasabi kay Yeng.
"Alam naman niya kung ano ang plano ng Dream Big Productions kay Yeng at sa kanya (RJ), pero hindi siya sumusunod.
"Acoustic ang packaging ni RJ at solo artist siya, bakit kailangan niyang bumuntot ng bumuntot kay Yeng?"
Inalam naman namin sa isang bossing ng Dream Big Productions kung aware ba sila sa pangungulit ng "best friend" ni Yeng?
"Nakarating sa amin ang balita at nakikita nga namin na naroon nga siya, nu’ng una, okey lang, pero dumadalas, so hindi na tama kasi nai-istorbo ‘yung trabaho ng Top 6," kuwento sa amin.
Hindi kaya nakaramdam na ng selos itong si RJ kay Jay-R Siaboc, Jr. na balita namin ang nagpapalipad hangin na kay Yeng?
Nabanggit kasi sa amin ng isa ring staff ng Pinoy Dream Academy na matagal ng may ‘tama’ ang 1st runner-up ng PDA sa dalaga at hindi lang ito pinapansin dahil nga kay RJ.
Pero in fairness sa ilang mall shows nila, gustung-gusto ng fans sina Jay-R at Yeng bilang loveteam, huh!?

Yeng, ilalaban kay Sarah?
RATED A Ni Aster Amoyo
Ang Pilipino STAR Ngayon 02/09/2007
Ano ang posibilidad na ang kauna-unahang grand winner ng Pinoy Dream Academy na si Yeng Constantino ang mahigpit na makatunggali ng popstar na si Sarah Geronimo balang araw? Totoong malayo na ang narating ni Sarah magmula nang siya’y tanghaling kampeon ng Star for a Night singing contest sa telebisyon na produced ng Viva TV. Nawala man sa ere ang programang piknagmulan ni Sarah, patuloy naman ang pamamayagpag niya bilang isang singing star at concert performer hindi lamang dito sa Pilipinas kundi maging sa ibang bansa. Kung made na si Sarah, ngayon pa lamang nagsisimu. lang mag-shine ang star ni Yeng sa tulong ng kanyang management company, ang Dream Big Productions. Barely one month pa lamang sa market ang kanyang debut album na pinamagatang "Salamat" pero umabot na ito sa platinu_m mark. Plano rin siyang bigyan ng kanyang major solo concert sa Araneta Coliseum sometime in July at magkakaroon siya ng TV series sa Dos. * * * _________________

By STAGES
February 08, 2007
Pinoy Dream Academy’s Yeng Constantino, Philippine Idol’s Reymond Sajor and Super Inggo’s Sam Concepcion are the topnotch singers who will take part in the Diamond Jubilee Celebration at Notre Dame of Midsayap College (NDMC) in Cotabato, which is the very first Notre Dame school in the Philippines and Asia. This historic event is aptly titled “Sidlak” and set on Feb. 17, Sat., at NDMC soccer field.
Pinoy Dream Academy Grand Star Dreamer Yeng Constantino will lead around 7,000 participants from different Notre Dame colleges and universities from General Santos, Marbel, Kidapawan and Cotabato City in singing her phenomenal hit composition “Hawak Kamay,” while calling on all Notre Dameans to continue on serving with compassion and excellence.
Philippine Idol balladeer Reymond Sajor will render a sneak peek into his remake of Frh Fr. Charles Prass, OMI as its first Rector. The institution has since been named as Notre Dame of Midsayap College (NDMC).
On NDMC’s 65th year, the institution stands proud of its accomplishments and of what it has become – 65 years of selfless and dedicated service. NDMC traces its history from its humble beginnings to being a stronghold of learning. Through time, NDMC has become a compassionate community with remarkable commitment coming from its leaders. Fr. Romeo Saniel, OMI is NDMC’s Diamond Jubilee President.
ABS CBN, DXOL Cotabato, DXDM Kidapawan and DXOM Marbel will cover this major event in Mindanao.
