I'm not sure about this coz I haven't watched Pinoy Dream Academy last Tuesday. But my sister who watched the show said that the PDA scholars are translating some Chinese songs and the host Toni Gonzaga mentioned about the possibility of these two Fahrenheit members visiting the academy, thus, the translating activities of the scholar... but the scholars have no clue on why they're doing the translating!!! Lucky scholars! So envious of them now!

yes it was true that the two are visiting the scholars, it was in commercial yesterday, gosh they were so lucky, they will visit the PDA tomorrow at 8:00 p.m.

Update!!! (July 13, 2008 2:00am Philippine time)

Strictly By-invitation Press Conference details

This is not their first time here in the Philippines... Wu Chun has been here for some applicant interviews for his businesses... He even ate mango ice cream and yema ice cream when he was like 6-years-old... Calvin Chen has visited Philippines once for vacation 10 years ago with his family. He even remembered that the seafood in the Philippines is quite yummy!

A Recap of Entertainment Live! Interview

Calvin's and Wu Chun's arrival in Manila is all in the news! Their plane arrived noontime... took a little rest at their undisclosed hotel then off to the abscbn compound for Entertainment Live! interview... The abscbn compound is packed with fans and they even went near the audience for some picture taking... The crowd are all screaming and pushing and Wu Chun keeps saying "don't push."

In their Entertainment Live! interview, they said in every first visit in a country, they always feel nervous coz they might not be known and well-received but the Pinoy warm welcome touches them and they're all smiles... They even promised to go back for a concert, that is, if their management will allow them to... Wu Chun was even amazed that when they sang a Fahrenheit song, some fans sang along...

These are cam shots of the tv, so don't expect quality...

As part of their homework for the week in the Academy, the scholars had to pick between "Wo Yo Wo De Young" or "Xin Li You Shu" to create a Filipino Version. They picked the latter...

00:50 Billy Crawford talking about Fahrenheit
Billy: Billy-lit (puppet) Do you know Wu Chu(n)?
Billy-lit: Wu Chu(n)? Hahachoo! *sneezes*
Billy: That's sneezing! You're getting me into trouble! Anyway, the scholars are goin to sing "In Our Hearts (Xin Li You Shu)" live here!
You know (Billy-lit) Fahrenheit is very famous all over Asia, not only here... So you want to watch?
Billy-lit: OK
Billy: You want to watch also? *talks to watchers* (camera nods)
Ok let's dance! Let's go!

Here's the translation of the song, starting @ 01:20 in the video :

"The scholars sang Fahrenheit's "Xin Li You Shu (In our hearts we know)" as tribute to the coming of Wu Chun and Calvin Cheng here in Manila for a series of tours and guestings. They translated the song in Tagalog though."

bawat ngiti mo ay hatid saki'y lambing (your every smile shows me affection)
bawat patak ng luha'y aking dadamhin (every tear i will feel)
pagmamahalan nating 'di maipagkait (our love cannot be denied)
basta't patuloy na ako ay mahalin (just continue to love me)
puso... nakalaan sa'yo (my heart... is reserved for you)
tanging ikaw lamang (just only you)
tibok ng puso ko (is what my heart beats)

CHORUS
kahit saan mang dako (wherever we may go)
pag-ibig kong ito (this love of mine)
hindi maglalaho (will not fade)
basta't kapiling ka (as long i'm with you)
ikaw lang ang liwanag (you're the only light)
sa'king mga gabi t'wina (to my nights all the time)
aking mahal (my love)
magkakasama tayong dal'wa (the two of us will be together)

sa hirap o ginhawa ako'y kasama mo (through richer or poorer i'm with you)
asahan mo ako'y hindi magbabago (expect that i will not change)
nahanap ko sa'yo lahat ng gusto ko (i found in you what i want)
asahan mong pagmamahal 'di magbabago (expect that my love will not change)

puso... ??? (my heart... ???)
hulog ka ng langit (you're sent from above)
'di ka pagpapalit (i will not replace you)

repeat chorus

The Pinoy Dream Academy Gala Night was when Wu Chun and Calvin Chen performed "Xin Wo" as part of their "Romantic Princess" promotion in the Philippines.

thanks topaz_girl for the transcript...

News Update!!!

Wu Chun strikes again with his food talk! Smile

As a Wu Chun fan well knows, Chun loves food and he shows that with the few Filipino words that he knows. During the interview in The Buzz, the host Kristie Fermin mentioned that he looks like a Filipino and he said I want to speak in Filipino. Chun said: "Ang adobo mo ay masarap" (Your adobo is delicious). Prior to the statement, Chun mentioned some Filipino words like masarap (delicious), kumusta (how are you) mahal ko kayo (I love you) and mabuhay Pilipinas (long live Philippines). adobo is a Philippine dish of marinated pork, poultry or vegetable seasoned with garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and spices.

Calvin Chen and Wu Chun exudes charisma during the interview. When asked who they liked amongst Filipino female celebs, they said they're all cute and beautiful but couldn't name who they liked most. Maybe because they have met a lot in this short period of time.

Their schedule is fully packed with interviews, guestings, performances and there's even a fans meet and greet. Surely fans will be posting lots of personal accounts regarding the hunkie treat.

They peformed at ASAP '08 earlier today singing the famous Romantic Princess theme song Xin Wo.

Side note: I'll be making a transcript of the interview as soon as I get the tvrip. I might sub the video too Smile

Constantly check this thread for that Smile
