"PINOY Big Brother (PBB) Teen Edition" and "Pinoy Dream Academy (PDA)" proved to be two of the biggest reality shows in the country and after its first season runs, it also proved that it did more than just fulfilled dreams– it changed lives.

"PDA really changed my life, I’ve learned a lot as an artist and I grew as a person. After PDA fulfilled my dream, I was also able to fulfill the dreams of my family and people dearest to me. It’s really more than just a dream come true for me," affirmed PDA Grand Star Dreamer Yeng Constantino.

Yeng is only among the many hopefuls whose lives were changed after their stay in PDA. Her success in PDA paved the way towards achieving even more success in the industry– a triple platinum debut album, sold-out solo concert, successful world tours, numerous awards and a newly-released sophomore album to be exact.

Aside from Yeng, her fellow scholars Jay-R Siaboc and Ronnie Liang also had their share of the limelight.
