Noven Belleza from Victorias City is the newest Tawag Ng Tanghalan champion!
On Saturday, July 23, the rice farmer from Negros Occidental charmed the judges with his version of Air Supply’s “Even The Nights Are Better.”
During the final rounds, he performed his own rendition of Bee Gees “To Love Somebody” and defeated defending champion Babylyn Mauhay, a principal from Lipa City elementary school.
Belleza received an average score of 96 percent from the judges while Mauhay got 92.2 percent after singing Shirley Bassey’s “I Who Have Nothing.”
He will return to the “Tawag Ng Tanghalan” stage on Monday. He will need five consecutive wins to get an automatic place in the semifinals.
