Philippines Pride at the WCOPA 2011

WCOPA or World Championship of Performing Arts is a one-of-a-kind event and a different type of “Olympics”. It was held at the entertainment capital of the world – Hollywood, California. Each winner gets a coveted gold medal which brings with it the

admiration and respect of people from all over the world. Along with the gold medal comes a promising career opportunity and $130,000 scholarships. Did you know that every talent invited to compete at the WCOPA is called a “Worldstar”?

This year, Filipino worldstars didn’t fail us. Two talented young men brought home honors. The Philippines is proud to have received the titles of WCOPA’s 2011 Junior Grand Champion Variety Artist of the World, 2011 Junior Grand Champion Vocalist of the World and the most coveted 2011 JUNIOR GRAND CHAMPION PERFORMER OF THE WORLD.
