MANILA, Philippines - Filipino-American teen singer Jasmine Villegas, also known as Jasmine V., celebrated her 18th birthday last December 7.
Villegas said she will now be making decisions for herself now that she is a year older.
"Well, I'm gonna be making decisions for myself now that I'm a young adult, but besides that, everything is going to be the same,” she said.
Villegas’ mother, Bernadette, extended her birthday wish for her 18-year-old daughter, saying that she hopes Villegas will be able to finish her studies.
“You have to stay educated because something might happen, God forbid, but you always have a background that you can continue to be in school and do other things aside from being a singer,” the singer’s mother said.
Villegas’ first claim to fame was her role as American pop star Justin Bieber’s leading lady in the music video “Baby.”
She is also known for singing the American national anthem in 3 fights of Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, most recent of which was in his fight with Briton Ricky Hatton in 2009. – Report from Yvee Tadeo-Guevara, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau
