The Philippines has been a force to be reckoned with since it joined the “talent Olympics” last 2005. Our delegates have been winning major awards for three years in a row beginning with Jed Madela in 2005, the Cercado Sisters in 2006 and Reymond Sajor and Aria Clemente in 2007.
Jed and Aria will grace this year’s event to perform. Jed will also seat as one of the judges in the senior vocalists competition.
