Real life." "Amanda, sign na 'to! (This is your sign to get signed!)" Yet, Amanda has not signed. In her only DM response to a fan account, she wrote: "Hindi pa handa ang studio para sa ingay ng Manila." (The studio isn't ready for the noise of Manila yet.) The rise of "Manila Amateurs Amanda" has sparked a quiet war among local record labels.
