Tapdasan and Magtoto were hailed as the winners during the grand finals, held at the SMX Convention Center in the MOA Complex, Pasay. Both of them played the piano beautifully during the competition. Magtoto is also a talented singer.

“I feel happy because I’ve never joined any contest before and I have never signed any contract. This is the first time I will go on TV and movie so that makes me happy,” said 8-year-old Tapdasan.

“I am also happy because it has been my dream to be famous,” added Magtoto. “I want to be a pianist when I grow up. I also want to be an artist and a singer.”
