Arabelle Dela Cruz, popularly known as the “Laguna Diva,” has officially advanced as a semi-finalist in the global singing competition Veiled Cup held in South Korea.

As the competition heats up, all eyes are on the Laguna Diva as she continues to represent with heart, skill, and passion.

Earlier this month, Garrett Bolden, another Filipino contestant on the Veiled Cup, also made it to the semi-finals. Arabelle and Garrett, along with Thea Astley represent the Philippines in the international singing competition held in South Korea.

The three Kapuso stars emerged as the Philippines' contenders after winning the Veiled Musician Philippines special episode on All-Out Sundays back in November.

There, they can cast their votes for the featured songs: “Wishful Thinking” by Thea Astley (Manila Storyteller), “Our Love” by Garrett Bolden (Zambales Beast), and “Wake Up” by Arabelle dela Cruz (Manila Diva). Each listener may vote up to three times per day.

The voting period remains open until January 29, and every vote counts in helping support Filipino artists as they continue to shine on the international stage.
