About Joey

Ma. Josefina Albert - Pacis, or simply Joey Albert was a high school batch mate of former Senator Loren Legarda at Our Lady of Assumption in Makati. She has a degree in Communication Arts from the same school.

Joey’s career as a singer was launched when she won the “Dream Girl Filipina” contest on a TV. From the contest in 1982, she has produced numerous albums which included her hit songs “Tell Me,” revived by Side A and “I Remember the Boy,” revived by Lea Salonga. She sang “Points of View” together with fellow young singer Pops Fernandez in the early 80s. Her other hit songs are “Kumukutikutitap” and “Ikaw lamang ang Mamahalin.”

In her prime, she has held a number of successful concerts at the ULTRA, Folk Arts Theater, Greenhills Theater, Araneta Coliseum, and Manila Hotel, and performed in such countries as Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the US, and Oman. She has also appeared in a few movies with the comic trio of Tito, Vic and Joey, and Dolphy.

Albert started winning recognition in the music industry in 1983, when she was named one of the top 10 entertainers at the Tinig Awards. She was chosen Best Female Vocal Performer at the Cecil Awards in 1985 and Best Female Performer at the Awit Awards in 1990.

Later in her career, she became a host for an award-winning outreach program show at ABS-CBN entitled “Bahay Kalinga.”

Joey went in a hiatus for more than a decade. She now lives in Canada with her husband Vicente Pacis III and their two children.
