Manila, Philippines – The Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel has extolled an 11-year-old Filipina musical sensation who placed second in the prestigious Beit Sefer Le Musica singing competition in Israel recently.
According to the embassy, Kathleen Louise Eligado’s success was impressive as she was the only foreigner who joined the contest and was bestowed with an award.
A sixth grade student of the Alef Dalet Gordon School in Tel Aviv, Eligado’s mentor is Mati Caspi, a prominent musician and well respected singer, song writer, and conductor.
Her rendition of Christina Aguilera’s “I Am Beautiful” and “On my Own” earned her a $2,500 musical scholarship and an exclusive contract with Teddy TV.
“This is the first time that a Filipino has won a prestigious award in Israel’s the Beit Sefer Le Musica competition,” the embassy said in a statement.
“Kathleen is an inspiration to the Filipino community in Israel. The embassy is proud of this young achiever. It is hoped that many more will follow in winning honors for Filipinos in Israel,” it added.
