MANILA - An Indian national living in the Philippines and a German-Irish who was raised by her Filipino parents were among the first "I Love OPM" contestants to be introduced.

In the teasers uploaded on YouTube on Wednesday, viewers got to meet Addy Raj, dubbed as the "Cutie from New Delhi," and "American Beauty with a Pinoy Heart" Jeena Dimaandal.

Raj admitted that he learned the Filipino language from the songs of "Pangako Sa 'Yo" star Daniel Padilla. "Dahil dito natuto akong mag-Tagalog," he admitted.

Dimaandal, meanwhile, adopted the language from her foster Pinoy parents. "I grew up with my Filipino mom and dad and they raised me like a dalagang Filipina," she said.

Hosted by Anne Curtis and comedian Eric Nicolas, "I Love OPM" will begin airing on Saturday after "Maalala Mo Kaya." The contest will shine the spotlight on foreigners who can fluently sing local songs.

The contestants will have to impress the judges of the competition, referred to as the "Himig-gration Officers," include Toni Gonzaga, Lani Misalucha, and Martin Nievera.
