"Actually, there came a time na sinabi ko sa Mom ko [Zsa Zsa Padilla] na bakit among my friends, ako na lang ang walang business. Sabi ko, sana magkaroon ako ng business. ‘Tapos biglang nagkaroon ng opportunity. Actually, si Dong yung nag-ask sa partners namin ngayon kung puwede ba kaming sumali. Saling-pusa sa business nila. They agreed and we're very happy," says Karylle about venturing into business with boyfriend Dingdong Dantes and other partners.

Karylle poses proudly at the entrance of CenterStage. The singer-actress says she's the guinea pig for their sound system. Karylle has a hand in choosing the songs in the system, which has now 2,000 selections. The young entrepreneur is also proud to say that they have an in-house vocal coach. "You can also be a recording artist for only P199," Karylle says.

It has always been Karylle's dream to put up a celebrity wall. "Dati kasi nakita ko yung sa Kamayan restaurant nung maliit ako... Di ba, puro plato yun? Sabi ko, paglaki ko, gusto ko rin niyan," the singer recounts while showing off her own celebrity wall.

This is one of the 19 rooms Karylle helped to design and set up.

The CenterStage KTV area occupies a great part of the second floor of the building—all 900 sqm. of it. CenterStage has 19 KTV rooms.

During her spare time, Karylle tries her hand at serving the bar clients.

The Circle Cafe has a spectacular view of the busy Scout Rotunda. "At night, maganda dito, meron pa silang message billboard across the street where you can send messages and makikita mo from here. You can greet people, say 'I love you,' even make marriage proposals," says Karylle.
