MANILA, Philippines – Maria Aragon, the 10-year-old Filipino-Canadian singer who was discovered on YouTube by Lady Gaga, arrived in Manila on Wednesday night to become the latest addition to the roster of Kapamilya stars.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Aragon said she is very excited to become a Kapamilya.
Aragon is set to sign a contract with ABS-CBN’s record label, Star Records.
