Thedd Aldritz Geca Maglocot from Guimbal, Iloilo bagged the coveted award for his performance of Tom Jones’ “Delilah” during the grand finale held in Long Beach California, USA on August 4.
The 9-year-old also won the Grand Champion Vocalist in the World in the junior division.

WCOPA Team Philippines National Director Gerry Mercado said this is the biggest delegation of Team Philippines since it started 28 years ago.
