			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Pinoy Dream Academy,</p>
<p>I’m a fan of your show especially the first season. In fact, I bought different Pinoy Dream Academy memorabilia like jackets, notebooks, pin buttons and even stickers. I would sometimes drop by the PDA Concert Hall just to hear the scholar’s performance live. I was very satisfied in how you handled the show last season. But come the second season, I can’t help but feel disappointed especially with PDA II’s Primetime episodes. I believe that your show’s tagline is, “Ang Drama sa Likod ng Pangarap”. I know that a lot of Pinoy Dream Academy fans would agree with me that the recent primetime episodes of Pinoy Dream Academy focused on too much drama. “Scene-stealer scholars” would cover almost the whole airtime of PDA. I believe that it should be the mix of both – the training with a larger percentage of the show’s airtime and the little excess should go to the drama. Lately, I’ve been intentionally missing the Pinoy Dream Academy’s primetime episode because of greater disappointment on how you are handling the editing of the primetime episodes.</p>
<p>Please do something about the editing of your primetime episodes. <strong>LESS DRAMA MORE TRAINING!</strong> Bring back the fitness class! I’m so fed up with some crazy thingamajig you’ve been showing in your primetime episodes. Stop exploiting the scholars’ lives and start showing on how you are training these scholars to perform better on stage. I do believe that Teacher Monet isn’t helping the scholars to deal with their own problems. In fact, he got the worst temper! Why not put a guidance counselor inside the academy to replace Teacher Monet? And please bring back the vocal coaches – The CompanY!</p>
<p>I hope I made myself clear.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m really a fan of Pinoy Dream Academy to the point that I bought jackets, notebooks and even pin buttons. I’m a Rosita Bareng fan actually. Oh, please don’t laugh at me like that. She many not be the best singer in town but she never fail to catch the “masa” audience of the show. I like the Pinoy Dream Academy’s format wherein scholars are asked to live inside an “academy” where will they undergo rigid training. Moreover, since they live inside an academy equipped with many cameras and microphones you get to know the attitudes of the contestants and how they interact with each other.</p>
<p>In fact, our family would usually watch the weekly concerts of the PDA scholars live. In my opinion, it is much better watching the concerts live than in television. I am excited because the academy would be opening its doors once again for star wannabes who want to hone their craft as a total performer.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.brinknotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/pda.gif" alt="Pinoy Dream Academy Season II Logo" title="Pinoy Dream Academy Season II" width="319" height="106" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-598" /></center></p>
<p>I saw the Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Primer last week and we’ve got a lot of new talents to watch out for. One of the possible contestants that caught my attention is Miguel Mendoza who was once part of Philippine Idol. Actually, he belongs to the Top 4 Finalist of Philippine Idol way back 2006 but now, he’s singing his way to Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2. Wow, we’ll be seeing a lot of people from Philippine Idol on the second season of Pinoy Dream Academy. First it was Ryan Cayabyab who would be the new headmaster, second was Ryan Agoncillo who’ll be the new PDA host and probably Miguel Mendoza as one of the possible scholars. Morever, during his Philippine Idol stint, Mr. Ryan Cayabyab even composed a song for him. Well, I’ll be watching out for Miguel Mendoza and let’s see how far he goes in the competition.</p>

<p>The one thing I hate about Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 so far is that this early, they are already giving titles to the possible scholars. The contest is not yet starting and I don’t think giving titles this early is necessary. I find these titles annoying. Well, Pinoy Big Brother is fond of doing this also. And I can’t do anything about it for the people behind of Pinoy Big Brother is the same as those people behind Pinoy Dream Academy.</p>
