A CAREER IN ACTING? Besides taking centerstage in concerts and in TV guestings, Sitti has tried acting in theater where she played a role alongside KC Concepcion, Jericho Rosales, Jonalyn Viray, Mitch Valdez, and a number of other celebrity singers in Katy! The Musical. Earlier this year, Sitti bagged the role of Martha in the 2009 rock musical Spring Awakening.

Having also appeared on a cameo role in Judy Ann Santos' Ysabella, PEP asked the Queen of Bossa Nova whether making a crossover into acting is part of her plans. "Nag-au-audition ako ngayon," she replied. "I mean, kung merong mga projects na tingin ko okay for me, I'm going for it... Lahat naman 'yan sinusubukan ko pang-improve ng sarili."

Erik Santos is also open to the idea of trying on acting roles. "Sana mabigyan ng opportunity. Handa na ako, e," he answered sheepishly. "Gusto ko rin mag-musical, like si Sitti. Siguro doon muna ako [sa musicals]. Hindi ko rin kasi alam kung comfortable ako sa acting. Parang hindi 'yon yung comfort zone ko.

"Siyempre pag sinabi mong singing, kahit siguro nakapikit ako, kaya kong gawin. Yung acting, medyo mag-iisip ako," he continued. "Pero open na ako. Kasi na-realize ko, kailan pa ako mag-a-acting, kapag father role na yung ibibigay sa akin?" said the 26-year-old singer, as Sitti and the press laughed at his comment.

Watch Erik Santos and Sitti Navarro on Extraordinary Songs on November 21 (Saturday) 9 PM, at the Aliw Theater. Directed by Calvin Neria with musical direction by Beth Martin and script by Noel Ferrer, Extraordinary Songs is for the benefit of Support Our Troops, Inc. and the victims of the recent Ondoy and Pepeng typhoons.
