Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. My next guests are a true force in the P-Pop scene — bold, fierce, and unapologetically themselves. I’ve had the honor of crossing paths with them way back when they first debuted. We collaborated on a YouTube video back when I was still producing fan films, and I had such a great time getting to know them. And now? They've blown up into one of the hottest girl groups in the Philippines and beyond. From powerful performances to boundary-pushing music, they are redefining what it means to be a global P-Pop act. Fangirls and fanboys, the Female Alphas themselves: AJ, Jaz, and Alfea of G22!
