So, when my manager (John Rey Malto) informed me about the event, I didn&#x27;t hesitate to attend and provide a small blessing.&quot;<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1767312029179image0.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Joice Espinoza visits Child Haus.

Performing in front of my fans, recording my second song, and having my videos go viral on social media were some of the most meaningful moments,” she said.“These experiences broadened my horizons, gave me more opportunities, and exposed my work to a larger audience that has encouraged me along the way. Making new music served as a reminder that I was genuinely meant to be an artist,” she added.Espinoza also shared that she has begun writing original songs with manager John Rey Malto in preparation for 2026.“I hope for fruitful projects and opportunities that will bring me closer to a breakthrough in my career. I also hope to give back to those who have supported me along the way. On a personal level, I pray for genuine happiness and stability for my family and loved ones,” she ended.
