Singer and pilot Ronnie Liang kicked off a series of performances for the Filipino community in Canada, with appearances at Taste of the Philippines 2026 in Calgary on August 1 and the Niagara Fiesta Extravaganza 2026 on August 2, and another show scheduled at the Brampton Fiesta Extravaganza 2026 on August 9.
“The August 1 and August 2 shows were both enjoyable and fulfilling. Singing in front of the Filipino community in Canada moved me deeply because the power of music has always been to bring people together. From mothers to kids, everyone was enjoying the songs. Everybody was connected. Everybody was singing along. I felt honored to be chosen as a performer,” Liang said.

“You know, I'm always thrilled to receive an invitation to perform overseas where Filipinos are present. As a performer, I believe it is your responsibility to use your music, passion, and spirit to make the audience feel as though they are in the Philippines,” he added.
Talking about his experience with fans while performing, Liang continued: “Of course, the Filipino community has always been welcoming and supportive of Pinoy artists. My interaction with them was memorable, as they treated me well and showered me with hugs. The song 'Ngiti' was perfect for serenading our hardworking kababayans.”
When asked how he kept the audience engaged, the “Ngiti” singer replied, “I ensured that my energy was at its peak. And I've always been sincere in my performances. During the shows, I enjoyed engaging with the audience. Aside from delivering the vocals, you must entertain them because they have invested time and energy in you. As artists, we must give our all.”
Recently, he released new songs “Bayan Ko” and “Kailan Ako Bibitaw.”
The singer and licensed pilot also provided an update on the upcoming reunion concert of "Pinoy Dream Academy" season 1 contestants, for which he also serves as co-producer.
“This is our first big show together in 20 years, and everyone is working together to ensure that the upcoming concert is a success. We are currently selecting songs that will reflect our journey,” he said.
“Our careers have taken different paths, but our care for one another has always existed. 'Pinoy Dream Academy' taught us how to dream big and form lasting bonds, and we continue to apply those lessons today,” he added.
The "Pinoy Dream Academy Alumni Homecoming" concert will be held on September 19 at the Music Museum, with Liang hoping that it will inspire the next generation of dreamers.
