I will not be narrating every bits of her achievements as an accomplished singer from the Filipino community in Ontario. Leave you some for research so you will know her at your own pace and at your own sincere discovery as to how and why this singer must be on our list as one that is formidable.

I read through her name among many aspiring singers from our community. all of which I took noticed, admire and follow. But like the hum drums of our daily lives we got caught up with knowing the best.

Arriving at Pinoy Radio studio in Vaughan last May 13, 2018 Mother's Day, she wore her instinctive smile, greeting those around her. She also looked fancy on a leather over coat. It made her look exactly how she looks, a star.

Her appearance at my Sunday radio show, STRAIGHT from Li ERON was a blessing having about six mothers sitting in celebrating mother's day as guests. Those mothers who abandoned their family celebrations in order to appear live on radio were also supporting the Heartbeat Media Inc. Blood Drive the day before, donating blood to save lives. An initiative to make blood donation awareness in our Filipino community.

Shairah Garrido's presence was a gift to all the Mothers sitting in the studio, her mom Alma and all those mothers all over the world. Shairah's voice is the kind of tone that you can fall in love so quickly. At this point, where I heard her sing up close, everyone in the room fall silent as Shairah brought us to a spin on an invisible hammock as her voice sounded like a lullaby.  As guests were Fay Graves, Lita Krawchuk, Jhel Kopp, Eve Calma, Mely Titus and Cristeta Amakali who successfully donated blood day before.

Episode 10 guests, Mother's Day tribute.

Let us support Shairah Garrido and wait for her future solo concerts! And am grateful to Alma Garrido for supporting my radio program and my initiatives. And for Shairah for coming to the show.
