“I have not been on TV since ‘Showtime.’ My last TV competition was 10 years ago. Since I’ve been in Australia, the only time I sang was in our churches and they weren’t performances but renditions to God,” she said. “Tonight, I was really nervous, as you can hear in the beginning. But I’ve poured my whole heart into it. I meant every word of that song.”
“Coming to Australia, I know that I’m gonna have to start all over again when it comes to singing, but I didn’t expect that it will lead me here,” she continued. “Coming from a humble life in the Philippines, who would have thought that a little girl born with a big dream will be able to step in ‘The Voice’ stage.”
Sanico dedicated her performance to God, saying she’s grateful wherever the journey takes her. “It was God all along, and tonight, I’m giving it all back to Him.”
Sanico joined “Tawag ng Tanghalan” in 2016 and advanced to the semi-finals round after winning the daily competition for five consecutive times. She, however, decided not to continue her journey at the competition due to “personal commitments.”
In a recent post, Sanico, an Adventist, disclosed that her reason at the time was rooted in her faith as she chose not to compete on the Sabbath. /edv
