Ronnie Liang’s dedication and commitment to achieve a healthy body is paying off big time. He has become leaner which prompted Holistic Integrative Care Center (HICC) to make him their ambassador.

He gave up fatty food (like pork and beef) and even rice. The new physique he achieved after this, earned him the lead role in the acclaimed indie movie (directed by Elwood Perez) “Esoterika: Maynila” screened recently at Teatro in Fort Santiago, Intramuros. Ronnie’s fifth studio album will be released this year by Viva Records.
