4 Pinay Singers Make It to WCOPA Finals
Three Filipina junior contestants namely Stephanie “Tippy” Dos Santos (13 years old), Catherine Loria (13 years old) and Rachel Razon (13 years old) made it to the final round of the Junior Vocalist of the World competitions. The three will compete with each other, and with Courtney Mary Janssen of New Zealand, and Oleksandr Chernenko of Ukraine.
On the other hand, Marielle Corpuz (22 years old) is the sole senior contestant left for Team Philippines competing in the Senior Vocalist of the World competitions. Marielle will face Noryn Aziz of Malaysia, and Andrew Clarke of Jamaica in the Senior Solo Vocalist competition.
The four pinays went through endless rounds of competitions vying with hundreds of vocalists around the world. All four of them will vie for WCOPA’s major titles: the Grand Champion Vocalist of the World title, and the even more prestigious Grand Champion Performer of the World title (previously won by Jed Madela in 2005 and Aria Clemente in 2007).
Panky Trinidad, Dex De Rosa, Abegail Dorado, Glee Nette Gaddi, and the Sison brothers (Marek, Enzo, Ruiz) just made it to the semi-final round. They will receive semi-final round medals.
The rest of Team Philippines’ contestants this year failed to get ahead of the preliminary round.
