Notes on Laarni:
At a young age, Laarni left Sultan Kudarat to find a better life in Manila, but with the promise that when she came back home, fresh with accomplishments they could all be proud of, she would set the family free from the poverty.
In Manila, Laarni came face to face with more hardships and suffering.Without her family to turn to, she found a lot of friends who shared her interest and passion in singing. Through them, her knowledge in music was enhanced, boosting up her confidence to sing.
Her voice as her asset, Laarni found ways to send herself to school. To graduate from college would be the first step toward fulfilling her promise to her family. But when the opportunity for a showbiz career knocked, she chose to drop school for the meantime and give PinoyDreamAcademy a try.With PDA, she could find herself delivering her promise of achievements to her family earlier than she expected.
Probinsyana but Talented... All in one... Singing, Dancing and Acting.. Ms. Laarnie Losala of Sitio Maremco, Bambad, Isulan Sultan Kudarat.. Schoolmate ko siya dati saBambad National High School. naging kaklase ko rin ang nakababatang kapatid niyang si Daryll Steve noong elementarya.
Bata pa ako noon ng una kong marinig ang boses niya at nasabi ko sa aking sarili na Laarnie is an amazing singer. Her stage presence and vocal power is one of the best. Noon pa man, idolo na namin siya pagdating sa kantahan...
To you Laarnie, Good luck and just keep your feet on the ground. Sana manalo ka sa PDA,, susuportahan ka namin..
hehhehe itindog ang bandera ng mga ilongga... Ang buong Sultan Kudarat ay sumusuporta sa sayo.
