• Mahalaga para kay Yza maipagpatuloy ang pag-awit ng Kundiman upang patuloy na mabuhay ang bahagi ng kultura para sa mga naninirahan sa Australia.
• Kabilang si Yza Santos sa mga lokal na performers sa entablado sa programang ASAP sa Sydney sa darating na ika-25 ng Hulyo.

Yza also talks about how important it is to pursue higher studies; she is currently in university, studying engineering. 'It is good to know and have knowledge of a whole bunch of different things, not just one area.' Credit: SBS Filipino

Once you get to know, once you learn more about your culture its not that hard to see them both as part of you.
