WCOPA has ended and I really miss every single person I met there, it was magical! Hope everyone is doing well enjoying themselves post WCOPA and going for their dreams! WCOPA has been an amazing experience for me and I am so blessed to bring home 10 medals, 2 plaques and a Scholarship from Indasoul Entertainment! Woooo I got 3 Gold, 1 Silver and 4 Bronze plus my Finalist Medal(Awarded for those who went into the finals) and The Industry Medal(Awarded to those who are deemed fit in the Industry). I want to thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed on me and people that He has surrounded me with, my mom for being my rock the pillar of strength, my dad for being my knight in shining armor, my Kuya for being my support and energy, my family and friends for their love and support, Teacher Sharon for being my mentor in preparation for this competition and my deepest gratitude and appreciation to Tito Gerry , Tita Annie and Ms Abby for the chance to be a part of Team Philippines, to Kuya Jed for being an inspiration to me and to WCOPA for giving me a platform to share my music to the world and lastly to all of you whom I met and bonded from all over the world. Thank you all so much for being with me in this life-changing event and I hope I get to see you more because this may be the end for WCOPA 2016 but it’s just the beginning for all our dreams.
