A 12-year-old from La Castellana is representing the Philippines at the World Championship of Performing Arts, currently taking place in Long Beach, California, set to run until July 9.
Seventh-grader Lordcint Agbas is one of the 90-strong Philippine contingent to the competition, but the only one in his category.
Mentored by singer Jed Madela, Agbas is opting to sing Michael Jackson’s “She’s out of my life” in the pop category, “Memory” by Barbara Streisand in the Broadway category, and “Imagine” by John Lennon in the world music category.
La Castellana Mayor Rhumyla Nicor-Mangilimutan voiced her support for the young singer, saying, the entire town is behind him./WDJCaption
