La Diva was a Filipino pop girl group, first established for the now-defunct musical variety-show SOP. The group is composed of two winners and a runner-up of Pinoy Pop Superstar. The group's final line up are Aicelle Santos and Maricris Garcia, with their youngest member Jona until her departure in December 15, 2013. La Diva has sold more than 10,000 albums in the Philippines which has earned them several achievements, including an Awit Award, two PMPC Star Awards for Music and an Aliw Award, becoming the fourth best-selling female group in the Philippines behind the Sexbomb Girls, Aegis and Mocha Girls.
The group finally revealed that they were officially disbanded in June 13, 2015.
In May 2008, it was confirmed that the GMA Artist Center would be forming a female music trio called La Diva. With its "Three of a Kind" segment, the musical variety show was ready to introduce a new generation of "divas".
Member Jonalyn Viray noted that a meeting for the creation of La Diva was held in January 2008, with the stipulation that each member of the group would still keep their own identity, for their solo careers. While the three ladies of La Diva are uncertain of how the group was formed, the combining factor is that each of them came from the singing competition, Pinoy Pop Superstar. Viray and Maricris Garcia were the Grand Champions of the first and third seasons respectively, and Aicelle Santos was the runner-up of the second season.
From October 24–28, 2011, La Diva was invited to guest on three shows in Indonesia. They performed hits such as "I'm Yours" and "Empire State of Mind". On the now-defunct talk show of Showbiz Central, it was reported and confirmed that La Diva were going to begin working on an international album.
