FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT...THANKS TO ABS-CBN AND TFC FOR BEING THE FIRST NETWORK TO HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN US=)
* Just a correction, we were misqouted on the part that "the gov't not supporting us (walang tulong mula sa gobyerno)". We were blessed to have a government organization sponsoring us. This year, 2 weeks before we left, NCCA (National Commission on Culture & Arts) helped us out with our plane fares. It must've slipped the reporter's mind. NCCA was really a big help & we are so grateful to them especially to Ms Corinnah & Ms Gina. :-)
Philippine All Stars wins 2008 World Hip Hop championship
The multi-awarded Philippine All Stars gave Filipinos another reason to be proud of when the group bagged the title in the 2008 World Hip-Hop Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, August 3.
More than 1,000 dancers from 33 countries gathered in Las Vegas in quest for the gold. The All Stars, however, ruled the dance floor with their two-minute performance packed with flips and steps in harmony. The dancers went off stage with high hopes of winning after finishing a near perfect dance.
When they received the award, group members said they were glad for the success as they united Filipinos in that moment of glory.
“This is just a moment where everyone could just unite. In our own part, to be an inspiration not just for the people here in the championship, but to all the Filipinos out there,” said group member Sheena Vera Cruz.
She added that the group wants to give other Filipinos hope that they could also become winners given the same opportunity.
"We want to give them hope that if we have this opportunity, all the Filipinos out there can also have the same opportunity as us,” she said.
Lema Diaz, another group member, called on other Filipino groups to dream big and strive to realize their aspirations.
"Our main purpose is to wake up the youth of the Philippines and and Filipinos around the world to rise up to go for what theybelieve and to dream big,” Diaz said.
In the end, the three judges gave the All Stars an aggregate score of 8.94. A large part of the score (5.35) was earned by way of the group's infusion of artistic steps in their choreography.
And to that, competition judge and multi-Gramy awardee MC Hammer said: “The Filipino artists…they continue to evolve in a global basis. They take art and dance seriously.I am very proud of the level that the Philippines over all have developed into.”
Judge Shane Sparks also had high praises for the group.
“Great kids, great dancers and choreographer…I think they’re some of the hottest dancers that touch the stage of the America’s best dance crews and I know there’s more to come ,” Sparks said. Ging Reyes and Bev Llorente, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau
