A PHARMACY student from the Centro Escolar University bagged first place at the Grand Finals of the 11th Asia Arts Festival held recently in Singapore.

Ma. Krissha Abby Dimalaluan Oquendo was recognized for her powerful rendition of “Stone Cold” by Demi Lovato.

“Her emotional and technically impressive performance stood out among the competitors, securing her the top spot in the Vocal Category,” CEU said.

“Oquendo’s journey to this victory began when she first won Gold A in the Solo Singing Category at the Philippines Arts Festival. Her outstanding performance there earned her the opportunity to compete in international stage, where she continued to excel and bring honor to the country,” it added.

Since 2013, the Asia Arts Festival has offered an esteemed platform for musicians and dancers of all genres to showcase their talents, skills, and art forms before a distinguished panel of judges.
