Ronnie de Guzman Liang is a Filipino singer, actor and a licensed pilot. He is currently studying as a pilot at APG International Aviation Academy. He is the former finalist of the popular reality-talent search franchise in the Philippines, Pinoy Dream Academy. He was the second runner-up next to Jay-R Siaboc, who is one of his closest friends from the said contest, and grand star dreamer Yeng Constantino. He sang the popular OPM hit "Ngiti" and is a mainstay of ABS-CBN's Sunday variety show ASAP 08.[1][unreliable source?]

Biography[]

Liang is the youngest of the seven children of a low-income family. He supported himself through college by working in a fast food outlet and a video shop while studying at Holy Angel University in his hometown of Angeles, Pampanga. He graduated with a BS Education degree (physics, chemistry and biology major). He is Chinese-Filipino.[citation needed]

Career[]

Liang is studying as a Pilot at APG International Aviation Academy. He started working part-time as a ramp model, until his manager discovered that Ronnie could sing and encouraged him to join singing contests. Among them was Pinoy Pop Superstar. He first rose to notoriety as the grand contender that was disqualified from the singing competition because he had a manager. Out of loyalty to his manager, he opted to leave the competition.

Liang then joined Pinoy Dream Academy and made it past the initial screening to be one of the 20 scholars to study inside the Academy. After a few months, Ronnie made it to the Honor's List of Six and ended up as PDA's second runner-up.

Liang busies himself with gigs and guestings with PDA's Top 6. However, priority goes into the recording of his album under Universal Records, which is due to be out soon. He also wishes to venture into acting but that would have to wait as his priority for this year is singing.[2]

Liang became a Department of Education endorser/spokesperson for Brigada Skuwela 2008–2010 (school brigade).
