The workaholic Pops Fernandez
By WALDEN SADIRI
++++++++++++++++++++
Something is up with Pops Fernandez, music fans..
There seems to be something amiss or just not
right not being told in the articles. Pops met up
with Jomari at a show she produced at Zirkoh? Pops
produced a show for other artists? That's pretty
cool! And it was for John Lapus and Jon Santos.
JOHN LAPUS & JON SANTOS??! Wait a monument here-
Pops produced a comedy show for John & Jon?! Aba.
They aren't just comedians, you know.. they are
also writers for shows like THE BUZZ. And they
are close artist cronies of the media publicist
being tagged the one behind alot of questionable
articles about Pops and even Regine Velasquez.

The workaholic Pops Fernandez
Aside from being her mother, Dulce Lukban has also invested a lot on
her ever since she started her showbiz career and this is why singer
and actress Pops Fernandez would never shut her out from her life!
The report has been that Pops and her mom had a bitter quarrel when
the former got herself a new manager. She used to be managed solely by
her mother but she is now under the Arnold Vegafria’s ALV Talent
Circuit stable.
"Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like my mom’s not part of my career life
anymore; she still is. She still gets gigs for me and pretty much
helps out also. Times have changed kasi. I think it’s better this way.
I’m a workaholic and I want more jobs to come in. Kung baga, my mom
and Arnold can handle the same things, they can get the same types of
work for me so we can mix it together," she explained during an
intimate interview at the World Music Room Family KTV at Promenade in
Greenhills, San Juan.
She pointed out that if her new manager books her, her mom will still
get a commission and vice versa. And she’s very grateful that Arnold
was very understanding with regards this agreement.
As to rumors saying that her mom cried when she signed up with her new
manager, it was because Pops didn’t tell her about it herself.
"I think she cried because she had to find out from somebody else.I
was so scared to shock her, hurt her and upset her that I asked my
brother, three weeks before she found out to tell my mom. But I think
my brother got scared too and he didn’t know how to start it so hindi
rin niya nasabi," she shared.
Pops also didn’t have to explain to her mom why she transferred
management because she felt her mom already knew it would happen someday.
"I admit that on my part it was bad not telling her immediately about
my decision...that’s why some people thought we’re not on speaking
terms…I think from the start she knows. It’s part of growing up also.
She understands it. Again I think it’s just the matter of how she
found out," she quipped.
Under Arnold, Pops Fernandez’s fans can expect another album which is
said to be produced by Ogie Alcasid. A TV gig is also underway and a
major concert. ALV is also working out two films a year for Pops. Pops
too will be touring again soon. Her manager also disclosed that her
fans will hear a different Pops Fernandez in her upcoming album.
Like last year, 2006 will be a busy year for Pops Fernandez. As Pops
commented about her career, she simply chose to be always busy. Last
year she found herself shuttling from city to city in the US. She also
performed in Switzerland, Munich, Austria, Vienna, Sweden, Copenhagen
and Milan!
At the moment Pops’s gigs include Close–Up’s "Lovapalooza" in Cebu on
Feb. 11, a special show at Glorietta on Feb. 12 and her Valentine show
at the Mandarin Oriental’s Captain’s Bar with Kuh Ledesma and special
guest operatic singer George Young, on Feb. 13 and 14.
"I’m really excited about this show because it’s intimate. Usually
every Valentine show I had before were in big venues so this is new
for me," the country’s Concert Queen said.
The concert entitled "Let’s Talk About Love," is presented by San
Miguel and SMART and sponsored by Shopwise, Technomarine, Bench,
Rustan’s Essenses, and World Music Room.
Talking about love, the misunderstanding she had with her mom, the
change in manager are all part of her showbiz career for which she has
always been passionate about ever since she was started when she was
only nine years old. Even her downs in the business are something she
can be happy about.
"I always count my blessings because life is great…I used to get
disappointed and depressed when what we plan don’t happen. But I
realize, these things are what makes life exciting. It’s just how we
deal with them that’s important because it makes us better persons!"
With regards to her personal life, Pops admitted that after attending
the wedding of her good friend Andrea Bautista, she would like a
wedding like that too.
At the moment she’s dating and that’s what her lovelife is all about.
Though Jomari Yllana’s name keeps surfacing, she reiterated that
they’re just close friends and they do go out but that’s all.
Pops first met Jomari when she borrowed a sportscar from him for her
"It Girl" concert two years ago. They again met during a show she
produced at Zirkoh for John Lapus and Jon Santos. According to her,
she finds Jom very nice.
As to her kids, whenever she dates someone, she tells her sons Ram
(19) and Robin (15) about it.
"Honest ako sa kanila because I want to know their reactions…whatever
my relationship with a man is, I’m honest with them. I always explain
to them before they hear it from someboday else," she remarked.
As to her business endeavor, her Pipay brand will now be available in
two more SM Department Stores making it a total of six outlets this
year, which is a good way to usher in its third year.
