It's been 12 years since Rachelle won the singing tilt 'Search for a Star.'

Rachelle Ann Go is one of several Filipinos who made the country proud in West End productions in London. Way before her stints in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables, however, she was a singing contest hopeful.

In 2004, she won the singing tilt Search for a Star.

On the twelfth year anniversary of her win, she took to Instagram the joy she felt after being announced the show’s winner, and how her life has changed ever since.

She recounted how singing with her idol Regine Velasquez was a dream come true, shared that she was bullied, and emphasized the importance of her relationship with God.

 

It has been 12 years since it all started! I will never forget that night(March 13,2004)... Singing with my idol Regine Velasquez was more than enough for me(and always will be) but God has more surprises. My life changed after this... I've been through so much. Even before I joined Search For A Star, I've been bullied A LOT. But I kept on moving forward and just trusted God. Prayer is the key. He never left me even when I was on the verge of giving up. Thank you to my family who is always on my side... To all my friends & Shinatics for all the love and support. Maraming Salamat sa inyo! Cheers to many more years to come! P.s. To all those who are dreaming, never stop reaching for that dream. It will happen one day... Believe and it will come true!:)
