Lala Banderas, the OG Mother of Female Floaters, shattered the silence and redefined the Upas scene. As the first female voice artist to record a floater, her high-pitched, unique vocals became a defiant anthem, breaking the stigma that women lacked opportunity in this industry. Her bravery to stand up and her courage to showcase her talent dismantled the stigma that women had no place in this industry, paving the way for future generations.

Into the vibrant heart of the Upas scene stride two queens โ DJ Cory Dora, the Queen of Floaters, and DJ Mocha Chacha, the Queen Host. They carry the torch ignited by Lala Banderas, blazing a trail of opportunity for women in a realm once dominated by men.
DJ Cory's voice is a sultry blend of spice and soul that breathes life into every floater she records which is a signature sound that's unmistakably hers. On the other hand, DJ Mocha's infectious laughter and witty banter, sprinkles every event with the warmth of cinnamon, creating an atmosphere that's both captivating and genuine.
Their authenticity is their power. It's the golden thread that runs through their vocals, their confidence, and their undeniable beauty, allowing them to carve their names into the very bedrock of the local Upas scene. Itโs not just talentโ itโs the unfiltered passion and genuine connection with their audience that makes them irreplaceable. We love them not just for what they do, but for who they are โ two women who stand tall, raising our flag to the highest peaks.

The Tolentino sisters, particularly Glory, were recently subjected to a deeply disturbing controversy wherein a local vlogger's reprehensible act of sexual mockery, disseminated online without her consent. This violation ignited a firestorm, casting them into the harsh glare of public scrutiny and inflicting profound trauma. The fear of becoming a spectacle of ridicule within the industry, where they hold prominent positions, was a heavy burden.
Yet, from this crucible of pain and humiliation emerged an unexpected source of strength. From this controversy that means to mockery, it ignited a collective surge of courage among women. We rallied around the Tolentino sisters, demanding accountability, an apology, and a fundamental respect that had been so cruelly denied.
The Tolentino sisters' resilience, their refusal to be defined by this trauma, became a beacon. It yielded a strength that empowered women like myself to demand equal respect within the industry. Their journey, their ability to transform pain into unwavering fortitude, has made them deserving of the outpouring of love they now receive, a reflection of the love and dedication they have consistently poured into the local Upas scene.

Tata Turba, a cornerstone of countless Upas events, including the recent Original Dinagyang Sound Expo 2025, Daanbanwa's 1st Showdown sa Oldtown, and the highly anticipated Negros vs. Iloilo Sound Expo 2025, is a force of her unwavering commitment. She navigates the intricate processes and logistical demands of event coordination with unparalleled dedication. Her passion for Upas and her selfless service are deeply inspiring, serving as a beacon of true hard work and genuine care. Without her tireless efforts, these events would lack the vibrancy and success they achieve.
Jovelyn, a student and a local content creator, radiates a captivating joy that transcends her physical beauty. Her presence at Upas events, earning her the well-deserved title of Team Turbo muse, that shows her genuine love for this industry. Her ability to balance her academic pursuits with her passion for Upas is profoundly inspiring, showcasing to her peers that dedication and balance can coexist harmoniously.

Their stories are inspiring narratives of dedication and genuine love for Upas, reminding us that success is often born from a spirit of service and a commitment to spreading positivity. Their lives illuminate the path, encouraging us all to strive for excellence and to embrace the beauty of dedication in our own journeys.
