Arabelle dela Cruz meets local media after 'Veiled Cup Korea' win

After years of coming close to victory, Filipino singer Arabelle dela Cruz has finally claimed a defining career milestone, winning the grand prize at 'Veiled Cup Korea,' an international singing competition that brought together top vocalists from across Asia.
The win marks a turning point for Arabelle, who admitted she nearly stepped away from singing competitions altogether following her first runner-up finish on 'The Clash 2025.' Having reached multiple grand finals without securing the title, she began to question whether to continue pursuing competitive stages. After winning first-runner-up in 'The Clash 2025,' Arabelle has been a mainstay in 'All-Out Sundays'
Yet fate intervened when the opportunity to join 'Veiled Cup Korea' came unexpectedly, a decision that would ultimately reshape her journey.
Take a look at the moments from her media conference at the Seda Vertis North hotel on February 4, 2026.
