‘The Veiled Cup: Galing ng Pinoy’ to air on GMA Network on March 7

"The Veiled Cup" is coming to GMA Network soon! 

According to Aubrey Carampel’s report on “24 Oras,” Wednesday, “The Veiled Cup: Galing ng Pinoy” is set to air on GMA Network on Saturday, March 7, 4:45 p.m.

The latest season’s winner was the Philippines’ very own Arabelle Dela Cruz, who was also a runner-up on “The Clash.”

The Sparkle star expressed her excitement for the show's Philippine premiere, as the show only aired in Korea with a few snippets posted online.

“Iba pa rin ‘yung mapapanood nang buo sa TV talaga,” she said. “So ngayon, meron na syempre na translation, maiintindihan na nila kung ano ‘yung nangyayari.”

The show will feature Arabelle’s competition in the Top 5 as well as behind-the-scenes stories and experiences.

According to Arabelle, it's life-changing to be named the grand champion in an international competition —an experience that renewed her self-confidence.

“Pag-uwi dito, ibang-iba ‘yung pakiramdam na wine-welcome ka hindi lang as a grand finalist eh or isa sa mga nag-represent sa Philippines, kundi tayo ‘yung nag-title,” Arabelle said. “’Yung matawag ka na champion, iba ‘yung pakiramdam nun eh.”

Arabelle is now gearing up for an Asian tour with her fellow “Veiled Cup” finalists, which she hopes will happen this year.
