An excited Benjie declares, “The tremendous success that we had with Voice of the Philippines gave a lot of student singers an avenue to display their talents and pursue their passion, and we hope to give this new generation the same opportunity with CAMPUS GOLDEN VOICE. Few things in life are more gratifying than to give young talents the opportunity to get their big break and launch successful careers centered on their passion.”
