PHILIPPINES
In the Philippines Alexia was a constant face on TV appearing mainly on Channel 7 (cable TV);
even her arrival at Manila airport was shown live!
The most important TV programmes in the Philippines where Alexia appeared were:
'EAT BULAGA' - a lunch time programme
'MS D!' (GMA 7) - an afternoon talk show
'MORNING@GMA TV' - a news programme
'BRUNCH TV' - talk show
'SOP (Sobrang Okay Pare)' - a live show
Alexia's impression of her trip there:
"I'm so glad to have had the chance to have seen a completely new country; unfortunately I was unable to visit it as I would really like to have done, but due to heavy promotional work for my album, "The Party", it was really impossible. This, however, is what usually happens when I am touring. I almost always only get to see airports, hotels and television studios. However I did get the chance to admire the beautiful countryside still so pure and untouched and, of course, the beauty of the people. But along with these things I also saw the poverty and this made me suffer greatly. In the past, I'd already had an insight of seeing what real poverty was like at its worst when I had visited Brazil. But when we, in Italy, talk about poverty we think about not being able to pay off the month's rates for the new car, and then you see children forced to walk with no shoes on their feet with empty tummies, well it really makes you think.....I've always thought that I would one day dedicate myself to important causes, but now I know for certain that I will. I am also hoping that one day I will be able to adopt a Philippine or Brazilian child. So I would like to say a big "hello" to all of you in the Philippines, those that I came to know and meet, plus all of those who don't even know I exist!!!!
Lots of kisses, Alexia"
AUSTRALIA
Still promoting the new album "The Party", Alexia left Manila to head for Australia. Alexia has spoken highly of Australia and of its beauty, saying that it has a special and unusual natural aspect. She finds Australians to be very friendly people and that they have a great way of going about things! She is infact quite tempted to move there, but reckons its a bit, well, too far from home!
ARGENTINA/BRAZIL
As the promotional tour that had seen Alexia travel around the world was drawing to a close, Alexia returned to Brazil, a country she had visited many times in the past. Although before going to Brazil she passed by Argentina, a country she had never been to. Usually all of Alexia's time is taken up due to numerous engagements, but this time in Brazil
she managed to do something fun for herself and got to know Daniela Mercury,
the brilliant Brazilian singer! And not just that, this time she was invited to the Brazilian Carnival for next February!!!!!WOW!!!!
SPAIN
During November in Spain, Alexia met up with her "colleague" Seal whom she'd longed to meet. Finally he turned out to be what she had always thought: a great artist. Alexia isn't new to famous encounters. This summer, during Festivalbar (the most famous Italian show for the summer) she finally got the chance to shake hands with one of her greatest heroes : Vasco Rossi!!!
