फिलिपिन्सकी कार्मेल पहिलो पटक एसियामा युरोभिजन विजयी
उत्तर सत्रह वर्षीय कार्मेल कोलाडोले शनिबार राति बङ्ककको केन्द्रमा रहेको वान बङ्कक फोरममा सम्पन्न एसियाको पहिलो युरोभिजन गीत प्रतियोगितामा विजय हासिल गरेकी छिन्। फिलिपिन्सको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दै कोलाडोले 'सोब्रा-सोब्रा' नामक पप र रेप गीत प्रस्तुत गरेर युरोपबाहिर आयोजना गरिएको प्रतियोगिताको पहिलो क्षेत्रीय संस्करणमा शीर्ष स्थान प्राप्त गरिन्। मुख्य फाइनलमा ११ प्रतिस्पर्धी देशका प्रस्तुतिहरू रहेको थियो र विज्ञापन खण्डहरू समेटेर यसको अवधि दुई घण्टा आधा रहेको थियो। यो कार्यक्रमले युरोभिजन ब्रान्डलाई एसियाली बजारमा महत्त्वपूर्ण रूपमा विस्तार गरेको हो, जसले क्षेत्रभरिका विविध संगीत प्रतिभाहरूलाई एउटै मञ्चमा प्रतिस्पर्धा गर्न ल्याएको छ। बङ्ककमा प्रतियोगिताको सफल आयोजनाले युरोभिजन फर्म्याटप्रति यसको परम्परागत युरोपियन मूलभन्दा बाहिर बढ्दो अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय रुचिलाई उजागर गर्दछ।
