She asked Lea Salonga if they can do a duet together, to which the latter agreed. They sang \u201cI Still Believe\u201d much to the delight of the audience and the other judges.<\/p>\n<p>Salonga, refused to critique Dela Cruz\u2019s audition, but promised that she will recommend her to the current production of \u201cMiss Saigon\u201d in London.<br \/>\n&#8220;Right now, &#8216;Miss Saigon&#8217; is running in the West End. So what I want to do is&#8230; please keep her name because I want to recommend you,&#8221; said Salonga.<\/p>\n<p>She added, &#8220;This is not a guarantee of anything, not even an audition. But at least I can tell them that I met this girl in the Philippines. She wasn&#8217;t right for the show, but I thing she would be right for you. So please, please see her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dela Cruz was stunned with what happened. She quickly ran to her parents and told them that her \u201cultimate dream\u201d just came true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Filipino-American Katherine Dela Cruz from California went to the Philippines dreaming of making it to the blind auditions &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":30466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[8473,6009],"class_list":["post-30459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment-ph","tag-katherine-dela-cruz","tag-the-voice","mauthors-lei-fontamillas","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
