Ask anyone about the top characteristics Filipinos are known for globally and you’ll probably get an answer playing between these two options—first, our welcoming personalities, and second, our powerful singing voices and undying love for karaoke.
Singing has always been part of our culture, especially during celebrations like fiestas. It is a way for us to express ourselves and to share and celebrate the fun with the rest of our community. This was exactly what happened during the recently held WOW! Fiesta Videoke Battle: The Search for SM Gadgets Singing Champ Grand Finals. The event, which gathered videoke-singing contestants from all around the Philippines, also introduced the newest addition to the brand’s entertainment systems—the WOW Fiesta Soprano 10 Digital Videoke.
The singing competition called in contestants to sing a song using the WOW Fiesta Videoke in any SM Gadgets store. On July 2, seven finalists from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao battled for the crown at SM City Bacoor, Cavite. Emerging as the Grand Winner is Ferlyn Suela from Mindanao who belted ‘Dakilang Lahi’, Caila Nicole Raquion from South Luzon who performed ‘And I Am Telling You’ in the first place, Julius Miranda from North Luzon who sang ‘Kahit Isang Saglit’ in second place, Kim Baluzo from South Luzon who performed ‘Tatsulok’ in third place, and Linjun Talaver from Visayas whose song choice ‘Ibang Iba Ka Na’ landed him on fourth place. Completing the performances are Arvin Sualibio from Metro Manila who sang ‘Bulag, Pipi, at Bingi’ and Ella Esguerra from North Luzon who performed ‘My Love Will See You Through.’
Ferlyn Suela took home the grand prize of Php 10,000 and the new WOW! Fiesta Soprano 10 Digital and a WOW! Speaker MyJam Soundbar. The event, which put into the spotlight the talent and love for singing of Pinoys also showcased the performance of Tiktok star Dane Jeshorun who is best known for her Ariana Grande impersonations.
This recent celebration hosted by WOW! Fiesta is a perfect testament to the brand’s promise to empower the modern Filipino household with superior home entertainment. For over twenty years, WOW! Fiesta has been offering versatile products that fit every occasion. The launch of its latest Soprano 10 Digital model takes this dedication to the next level by making it easier for Pinoys who are out of the country—and foreigners who simply want to experience karaoke—to bring the fiesta feels to their own homes.
The unit comes loaded with thousands of built-in and licensed songs which are stored internally, something that makes it more convenient than other brands that use USB or external SD Cards for their song bank. The songs, which are all handpicked for maximum enjoyment also include the latest hits in the music scene such as ‘Driver’s License,’ ‘Butter,’ ‘Lover,’ and ‘Good 4 U.’ Of course, the roster will not be complete without all-time OPM favorites like ‘Ikaw Lang,’ ‘Pagsamo,’ and ‘Mapa.’ Updating with new songs is also easy and very affordable at only Php 249 per volume.
What makes the Soprano 10 Digital truly versatile, however, are its two professional digital wireless microphones which have globally compatible frequency so that they can be used wherever you are in the world. Visually, you can choose from stunning backgrounds in Full HD resolution featuring international sites, local sceneries, animations, and if you want, even your customized videos. Lastly, built-in the unit is a multimedia player function that lets you view movies, photos, and music. Talk about getting the maximum perks for maximum bonding moments!
Good news, the WOW! Fiesta Soprano 10 Digital is running a special promo where you can get a free WOW! Speaker MyJam Soundbar for every purchase. A discount option of getting Php 2,000 off and free song updates is also available. Want to get it in installments? You can bring home this unit at 12 months, 0 percent installment using major credit cards, or apply via Home Credit for a credit card-less transaction.
The WOW! Fiesta Soprano 10 Digital is truly the next big thing when it comes to home entertainment. You may take the Pinoy out of the Philippines, but you cannot take the love for videoke singing out of the Pinoy, regardless of where they are!
