Jessica has been recognized as the “Power Cebuana Diva” when she joined The Clash Season 3 where she emerged as the grand champion.

Today, Jessica appeared on AOS and performed her victory song and now debut single, “Ako Naman,” which was written by Asia's Romantic Balladeer and Kapuso star Christian Bautista.

Jessica also joined the 'Queendom' and shared the stage with a few of GMA's strongest female vocals, namely Golden Cañedo, Thea Astley, Aicelle Santos, Jennie Gabriel, Julie Anne San Jose, and Lani Misalucha.

In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, Jessica admitted that she remains on cloud nine and beyond grateful for all the opportunities that opened for her since her win. This includes earning the chance to share the spotlight with the best performers in the industry, which she once felt like a far-fetched dream.

“I'm so grateful po talaga. Kasi dati ini-imagine ko lang 'yung self ko na parang 'Paano kaya kung nandyan ako sa TV?' Parang pinapanood ko rin 'yung sarili ko.

"Parang ini-imagine ko dati 'yung sarili ko na kumakanta sa TV. So ngayon na parang nandito na ako, actually I'm very blessed po and grateful po sa lahat ng mga nangyayari sa buhay ko.

"Hindi ako makapaniwala pag nasa stage na ako tapos kasama ko sina Miss Lani [Misalucha], Julie [Anne San Jose], lahat… Sabi ko, 'Hala, nandito na ba talaga ako?' Parang 'yung naiisip ko.

“Excited ako and tsaka I'm very happy po kasi winelcome po ako ng AOS family ko. As in grabe 'yung pag-guide nila sa akin. Grabe 'yung welcome nila sa akin, and 'yun, chini-cheer up nila ako, 'Huwag kang kabahan.'

"Kasi bago pa ako so parang hindi pa rin maiwasan na kabahan kasi alam mo naman 'yung mga kasama mo ang galing-galing.”
