Van inspires his fan Paul Arguelles

August 14, 2008 7:03 PM

On Uberture today, Van met his avid fan, Paul Arguelles and dedicated the song, “High” by The Speaks to him. Paul had been handicapped for seven years due to a holdup incident where he was accidentally shot. Though years have passed since the tragic event, he still has a hard time adjusting to being on a wheelchair. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope for Paul and he requested his favorite scholar to inspire him further. Paul was invited into the Academy and there he came face-to-face with his idol. The Acadreamian reminded him to stay strong and maintain a positive outlook in life in spite of his disability.

Also on Uberture this afternoon was Teacher Monet’s counterpoint exercise for the scholars. Each pair had to sing a note and as the mentor clapped, the two would have to exchange their pitches. Cris and Iñaki easily learned the technique while Miguel and Zhel sought assistance from the mentor a couple of times. Bugoy and Laarni were a bit confused with the lesson but Van and Poy were able to receive a nod of approval from the Voice Coach. Would learning fast mean a higher probability of being the Star Scholar? Catch the latest updates on the scholars and don’t miss their mini-concert later on the primetime edition of PinoyDreamAcademy Season 2!
