I am Francine Diaz. I am an actress from the Philippines. For starters, it’s an honor to be invited to global awards where music becomes one. Actually, I am interested in various fields. So, I am an actress, a model, a vlogger, and a singer. Honestly speaking, I am falling in love with music too. I recently sang a duet song called <a href="https://metro.style/people/digital-covers/seo-in-guk-francine-diaz-my-love-song-collab-metro/37581" target="_blank">‘My Love’ with Korean top star Seo In Guk</a>. It’s a really special experience to me. So, while watching these amazing musicians’ performances, I can’t help but dream to collaborate with them in the future. As much as winning the hearts of fans all over the world, the power of Asian musicians is truly incredible.”</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@_marbepeyt/video/7356189487635926278" data-video-id="7356189487635926278" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@_marbepeyt" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@_marbepeyt?refer=embed">@_marbepeyt</a> Francine Diaz slayyy!💛🌻 <a title="francinediaz" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/francinediaz?refer=embed">#FrancineDiaz</a> <a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound  - Marve Faith" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-Marve-Faith-7356189617676487430?refer=embed">♬ original sound  - Marve Faith</a> </section> </blockquote> </div><div><br/></div><p>When it was time to announce the winner, Francine adorably made a mistake in pronouncing the name of TXT (Tomorrow x Together), and read it like a part of a multiplication sentence: “Tomorrow Times Together.” The group’s name is read as “Tomorrow by Together.” </p><div><br/></div><p>This made her appearance at the Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2024 <a href="https://twitter.com/Francine_NEWS/status/1778063193996394706" target="_blank">even more trending online</a>; “Tomorrow Times Together” was also among the top trending topics on X (formerly Twitter) in the Philippines.
