After working on the ABS-CBN series Can’t Buy Me Love last year, actress and model Ina Raymundo has been busy with family duties and with finding ways to constantly improve herself.
In April, she wowed the crowd by making a splash on the Bench Fashion Week runway. Last month, Ina revealed enrolling in voice lessons at a local academy.

In her Instagram post, the 49-year-old celebrity mom couldn’t help but gush in the clip, "I’m so happy, I’m joyful!" after her vocal coach gave her positive feedback after sang Frank Sinatra’s classic song "The Nearness of You" in the short video clip.
“I’ve always wanted to take voice lessons, like seriously!😆 This is my gift to myself, to hone what I have. And I got the best vocal coach! Coach @jadericcio_soprano, if I can even reach 20% of what you can do, I’d be extremely happy, grateful, and singing non-stop.😁🥰
"Thank you, Jade for your kind and encouraging words! Can’t wait for our future lessons ✨🎙️✨ “
As a firm believer in keeping fit at any age, Ina proved she will always be an inspiration for working moms as she shows how to live life to the fullest. The talented actress enjoys sharing clips of her workouts at the gym with her trainer when she’s not busy with her family or busy with showbiz commitments. Another activity she enjoys regularly is dancing in Zumba classes with her friends in the studio.

In a previous post, Ina revealed her personal fitness goal before she hits another milestone in her life this December. “Road to 50 ♥️ I have a goal: to be in my best shape when I turn golden. I still have many months to go, and I’m ready for the challenge! Wanna join?”
Since returning to showbiz, Ina shared in a 2021 interview with PUSH ABS-CBN why she has become more selective when it comes to accepting roles since returning to acting after giving birth to her five children Erika, Mikaela, Anika, Minka and Jakob. The iconic '90s Sabado Nights girl revealed that her family will always be her top priority.
“Siyempre isa yan sa considerations, kapag tumanggap ako ng project ano ang ma-fi-feel nila, magiging proud ba sila, hindi ba sila mag-ki-cringe sa akin? Baka ikahiya nila ako, yung mga ganun. But my kids are so open-minded. They’re very, very Canadian I guess. Hindi sila narrow-minded. Yung daughter ko she’s very mature, very liberated. She’s very educated so minsan ako pa yung mali. May mga statements ako na i-ko-correct niya ako. She’s very supportive and I think proud naman sila sa mga ginagawa ko. Wala namang problema. Okay naman kasi nag-ma-mature na rin sila. Pero yung mga mas bata, yung pang-apat ko pag may nakikita siya akong ka-kiss na guy sa screen na-u-upset siya. But now she understands na role lang yun. Hindi totoo yun,” she explained.
