September 18 marked the final day of the BA Games. The stage was set, the mic and speakers grew alive with vitality, and the gymnasium rallied with excitement for what's about to come as the hosts unveiled one of the eventโs awaited highlights: the singing competition. Unlike the usual adrenaline rush that ignites in the sports arena, this was a different kind of battle: one fought not with strength nor agility, but with a heart, a voice, and the courage to let the musicโthe song tell a story.
From the first note to the last melody, the troubadours brought the audience an unforgettable and remarkable performance. Each contestant conveyed their own distinctive style; from ballads that tugged one's heartstrings, to worship songs that lifted spirits to unify, to rap that shook and electrified the room. Every performance showed that talent knows no bounds in genre, but fueled by the intensity of sheer heartfelt passion.
At last, the spotlight shifts to the most anticipated moment:

Lilianโs heartfelt rendition of โAraw Gabiโ originally by Ryan Cayabcab. Her striking voice flooded the crowd straight into nostalgia. With her smooth and youthful tone, she warmed up the stage, leaving the audience swaying, cheering, and humming along to every note.

Narmhyโs stirring performance of โ100 Yearsโ by OR30, delivered her piece that brimmed with depth and emotion, each line radiating the weight of time and memory. From quiet, reflective moments to soaring notes, the gentle journey cadenced by a sweetness tinged with melancholy.

With Deniceโs sirenical voice, she stepped in and enchanted the stage with a powerful worship piece entitled, โTo Rescue a Sinner Like Meโ by West Coast Baptist College. Her voice rose with commanding conviction, capturing attention and touching the crowd's hearts with her powerful voice, then softening into falsettos laced with gentle sincerity and serenity.

Amidst the voices of brilliance that had graced the entire stage, Ivan stole the stoplight, FLOORING the audience with his EXPLOSIVE deliveryโspitting fire bars while he fearlessly jabbed at flood control corruption with his performance of โUpuanโ by Gloc-9. He flowed between rap and melody that sparked the hype to the audience. It was a performance that took the crowdโs breath away before erupting in a thunderous applause that unleashed waves of energy throughout the gymnasiumโmost certainly the pinnacle moment of the event.
A HUGE congratulations to our ๐๐ค๐ก๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ง๐โ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐, ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐๐ฎ, the proud Representative of the Blue Falcons and this year's ultimate winner! ๐๐ต
