Filipino singer Casper brought honor to the country
by bagging the Silver Prize Best Performance at the Penang-Shanghai
World Star Quest held recently at Penang, Malaysia.
Held for the first time outside
Shanghai, China where it has been organized for the past nine years,
Penang has been selected as the new host. However, to acknowledge
its China origins, the event was called Penang-Shanghai World Star
Quest. A total of 23 contestants from 15 countries like Australia,
Georgia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mongolia, Singapore, China, Sri
Lanka, Thailand, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Philippines and many more,
came and participated in the grand finals to compete for various
awards and the grand prize. It was a two-night intense competition
among the contestants from various nations. The contest was judged
by an international jury with seven members selected by the
organizing committee.
Casper—Elissete Blancaflor in
real life, was the crowd favorite during the competition where she
performed two original songs—“Don’t Wanna Be Alone” (2nd
Best Song in Penang Shanghai World Star Quest) and “Napapaluha”
which she collaborated with composer Vehnee Saturno. She will be
releasing her debut album soon under Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
