During my days as a writer for INQUIRER.net, I had the very fortunate opportunity of meeting (and becoming friends with) the country’s ‘Queen of Busking’ herself, Eloisa.
Since those days, I’ve seen her grow into such an amazing singer and artist. From her various gigs in local shows and festivals to her televised performances, Eloisa is leaving a mark in the OPM industry and inspiring Filipino fans with her original songs and music.
This time, she’s once again making waves in the internet after signing with KDR Music House.
Just this week, I caught up with her to see her thoughts about this new partnership, what fans can expect from her moving forward, and how a personal milestone is influencing the way she approaches music.
Here are some of the things that she shared with me:
A partnership grounded in a shared vision
One of the main reasons why Eloisa signed with KDR Music House is that they share the same values and ideals when it comes to creating music.
“I signed with music label, KDR Music House, because I am a believer of their work ethics, integrity, and vision,” Eloisa said.
She is hopeful that this new label will be able to hone her craft in songwriting and composing, and elevate her music to reach more people locally and (hopefully) even, internationally.
Additionally, since officially signing with the label on March 12, Eloisa has re-released her 2019 hit Pag-Asa. Fans can now listen to it once again on major digital streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
When asked what message does she want to remind fans with the song’s re-release, she told me:
“Hindi na tayo aasa sa wala. I repeat, hindi na tayo aasa sa wala. Yun lang. Salamat.”
(Don’t hope for something that isn’t there. I repeat, do not hope for something that isn’t there. That’s all [I wanted to say]. Thank you.)

Fans can definitely expect more re-releases from the singer-songwriter as she continues this partnership with her new music label.
There’s still more to expect with Eloisa’s music
In addition to her busking gigs in the metro, Eloisa recently wrapped up a series of performances both in TV and on-site music events.
Last April 3, she performed on Net25 Entertainment‘s Kada Umaga segment where she delighted television viewers with her smooth vocals. Then the prior month, she graced the stage at the La Verdad Christian College, in Apalit, Pampanga, for KDR Music House’s ‘Campus Tour’ with other Filipino artists.
Indeed, it’s been a busy few months for the Pag-Asa singer. However, Eloisa promises to continue performing and sharing her music.
“I am grateful to all who follow and support the pages. They can expect that I’ll share more songs,” she shared.
Fans can stay up-to-date with Eloisa’s upcoming gigs and performances by following her on Facebook and Instagram.
Motherhood reminds her of the reasons why she continues to make music
Eloisa’s achievements don’t only exist in the music-sphere, she also celebrated a special milestone in her life — becoming a mother.
Lately, the Blanko singer continues to share small snippets of her personal life with her daughter; and to be honest, it’s heartwarming to see how sweet their relationship is.
Eloisa admits that since becoming a mother, she’s reminded of the messages her songs are trying to say, and hopes that people remember them when they listen to her music.
“Motherhood is my favorite role. I never knew a love could be so demanding, yet so deeply satisfying. It reminded me that we were all once children with big dreams, needing nothing more than love and support.
This journey has taught me to love my daughter fully—and in doing so, to finally support my younger self, too,” she explained. “These songs come from a heart that has experienced God’s kindness, patience, and grace. My only wish is to share that same love with everyone who listens.”
Truly, the messages behind Eloisa’s songs are timeless and resonate with anyone who’s experienced doubt, heartbreak, and (best of all) love. As a listener myself, I cannot wait to see what else the ‘Queen’ has to share with her fans.
You can keep up with Eloisa by following her on social media; and until then, remember to put Pag-Asa on repeat, wherever you listen to music.
