Philippines sweeps 2005 World Championship of Performing Arts in Hollywood
For the first time in the 11-year history of the World Championship of
Performing Arts (WCOPA), a magnificent sweep of awards was achieved by just
one nation, the Philippines!
What made this recent triumph more amazing is that our country has only two
contestants—the super talented Jed Madela and Rizza Navales who won 11 gold
medals, one silver medal, three Champion of the World plaques and a trophy
for the grand champion.The World Championships of Performing Arts is
considered the official talent Olympics, staged annually in Hollywood,
California. Similar to the Olympics, only invited and qualified competitors
from countries all over the globe compete each year in a fierce competition
for the "Gold."
The 2005 WCOPA was participated in by 51 nations, from Armenia to Zimbabwe.
The Philippines sent five delegates headed by Ida Henares; with only two
contestants, Jed Madela and Rizza Navales.
Once again, the gutsy duo has proven that Filipinos are world class
entertainers. Jed Madela won six gold medals in all the six categories he
competed in. Rizza Navales won five golds and a silver in also six divisions.
Jed has been declared Champion of the World in the Male Singing Division
while Rizza won the same honor in the female division. They also bagged
Champion of the World in the Duet Category.
To top it all, Jed Madela was declared Grand Champion, the over-all winner,
besting winners in the dance, acting, instrumental and modelling divisions.
For this victory he was awarded a handsome trophy.
The victorious Philippine delegation celebrated their triumph in Las Vegas,
where they were brought to witness a performance by Filipina diva Lani
Misalucha, now based in the States.
In Vegas, Jed and Rizza performed for the worldwide bookers and talent
agents. That very evening the duo had already been swarmed by tempting
offers. Rizza had been offered a permanent slot in a Las Vegas night spot.
But they cannot accept any offer that moment. Jed and Rizza have no working
visa yet.
The Philippine’s participation to the 2005 WCOPA was made possible by the
generous patronage of PAGCOR, Philippine Airlines, Clothing Apparels,
Primeline, Inc., Maxi Cinco, GMA Artists’ Center, and Universal Records.
