Singing champs and their stories of triumph

Singing contest winners shine at ‘The Manila Times’ 119th anniversary celebration

With a long list of talented Filipino singers, standing out has always been a challenge for aspiring artists. Noven Belleza, Maricris Garcia and Gecca proved, however, that this can be done when they were named champions of “Tawag ng Tanghalan,” “Pinoy Pop Superstar 3” and “World Championships of Performing Arts,” respectively. These three singing champs, who gave special performances during The Manila Times’ 119th anniversary, gamely recalled their journey to championship and where they are heading in their careers.
