History

On May 2008, it was confirmed that GMA Artist Center is forming a trio-La Diva.'SOP' is known for talents that are simply world-class, but who still strive for constant reinvention. With its “Three of a Kind” segment, the musical variety show gets ready to introduce a new generation of divas.

In November 2008,New Divas Take the Stage. Jonalyn notes that a meeting for the creation of La Diva was held in January this year. The icing on the cake was that they would still keep their own identities, their own solo careers. None of the three ladies in La Diva is certain how the group was formed, all of them came from the singing competition, Pinoy Pop Superstar. Jonalyn Viray and Maricris Garcia were the Grand Champions of the first and third seasons respectively, and Aicelle Santos was the runner-up in the second season.
