 Sun.Star Cebu - Serna: Raki Lovecelebrates
Raki was very candid in admitting that she requested to be released from Star Records when she felt that she has been ‘neglected’, having waited for sometime for the album, exposure and other things that she ought to be doing as part of her winning the Born Diva championship.

For Raki’s concert dubbed Raki Vega Celebrates Love, scheduled at the SM City Cinema 2 tonight, she will be accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra coming from the Phil.
