The WCOPA UAE family came together at B1 Mall, Dubai, for a spectacular homecoming celebration honoring the WCOPA 2026 Grand Champion Performer of the World, alongside the UAE delegation’s other outstanding medalists.
The celebration was honored by the presence of His Excellency Ambassador Alfonso Ver, Philippine Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and the Northern Emirates, who shared an inspiring message with the champions, their families, supporters, and members of the audience.
One of the most anticipated highlights of the celebration was the return of the Power Trio—Heinrich Agsaullo, Kirstin Reyes, and Celine Madison Matondo—who once again took the stage to perform their award-winning rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
The trio’s powerful performance brought back the excitement of their historic WCOPA victory and gave the Dubai audience the opportunity to witness the winning piece that earned them the prestigious Grand Champion Performer of the World title.
Adding even more excitement to the celebration was a lineup of talented performers who came to serenade and honor the champions. The program featured John Paul Alvis on piano, The TremorArmy Band, hip-hop dancer Eva Maneh, classical pianist Silvia George Kalmagian, pianist Ram Gharbi, bass guitarist Ron Dizon, and hip-hop dancer Karlos Miguel Candia.
The venue was filled with excitement as families, friends, supporters, and mall-goers gathered to celebrate the remarkable achievements of the WCOPA UAE delegation. The atmosphere reflected not only pride in the champions but also the strong sense of family and community that continues to grow within WCOPA UAE.
According to WCOPA UAE National Director Coach Eli, the achievement marked a historic moment for the organization.
“This is the first time in the history of WCOPA UAE that we have achieved the highest awards on the world stage, and it is truly worth celebrating.”
The celebration also recognized the dedication and hard work of the entire delegation, with all WCOPA UAE delegates receiving their official citations in recognition of their achievements at the 2026 World Championships of Performing Arts.
More than a homecoming, the celebration was a tribute to talent, perseverance, passion, and unity—a proud moment for the performers, their families, and the entire WCOPA UAE community.
