She even covered Inigo Pascual’s song Dahil Sa’yo’ with Korean singer Jay from the Korean boy group iKON. Dara also posted it on her Instagram and Filipino singer Inigo was amazed at the song cover.
Moreover, Sandara appeared in Korean TV shows, unexpectedly speaking Tagalog. Although her co-workers cannot understand her, she continuously spilled Filipino words.
Just this year, she trended on Twitter after she changed her accent from Korean to Filipino during a variety show in Korea. The program cast laughed at Dara’s natural cuteness, but also Filipinos who watched it.
In conclusion, Sandara’s success took her so many places. But, still, the Filipino culture will remain in her heart forever.
Her love for the Philippines, Filipino fans, and friends will always be with her. No doubt, her fans, and friends – both international and local – love her so much. She stays humble and with her cheerful charisma and natural cuteness win anyone’s hearts.
Sandara will be our forever Pambang Krungkrung. We cannot wait until your next visit to the Philippines, and spread your ‘kakulitan’ and craziness.
