Kimverlie Molina  representing all Pinoys of Al Khobar Saudi Arabia will participate on the 13th Annual World Championships of Performing Arts, set to take place on July 11-19 in Los Angeles, California.

Here's a sample video of hers:

Hence, to all Pinoys out there, here's Kimverlie's background as a young artist:

Filpop: A platform for singing, and a cause
By Joe Avancena
 
IN 1998, Dr. Ronnie E. Molina, a dentist, converted a small room in his apartment in Al-Khobar into a music room to train young children in singing. Among them was also his young daughter Kimverlie.
 
The training program, mostly in pop music, eventually became very popular within the Filipino community. Many parents felt that Molina’s musical project was a good avenue to enhance the personality of their children. They started sending their children – studying in elementary to high school – to learn the art of singing under Molina’s tutelage.

The number of children attending the singing sessions, conducted during weekends, increased, forcing Molina to relocate the venue from his flat to a Filipino school.
“In 2004, after six years of sacrifices, spending my own resources and time, and constant encouragement from parents and community leaders, I formally organized the project into what is now the Filipino Pop Music Club (Filpop),” Molina said.

The Filpop is now governed by the Filpop Music Club Executive Committee, headed by Molina as the founder and executive director. The job of overseeing the club, however, is performed by a group of officers and advisers.

The club inducted last week its officers and advisers for 2009. This new committee is headed by Jun Z. Eledia as deputy executive officer. Other officers are: Jaypee M. Vega, secretary; Mae V. Salvador, assistant secretary; Carol C. Vencer, treasurer; Thess B. Tunac, assistant treasurer; James C. Cipriano, auditor; Thess L. Cipriano, assistant auditor; Pabs E. Balbarosa, PRO; Annie C. Mendiola, assistant PRO; Ronald Conde, project director; Liyo C. Cefre, assistant project director; Ted Lor, finance director; Benny E. Celestino, marketing director; Demifred Tunac, technical director; Grace C. Sitchon, assistant finance director; Gener Kampitan, assistant technical director; and Nilo Bejasa, assistant marketing director.

Bong F. Buella, Joselito L. Cadiz, John Mendiola, Ronnie Sitchon, Eyek Ellamil, Carlo Gonzales, and Boyet Indefenso are the Filpop council of advisers.

The new officers and advisers were inducted into office by Philippine labor attaché David Des T. Dicang, who lauded Filpop’s contribution to the Filipino community in the Eastern Province.
Molina said among the people who convinced him to officially launch the club were Fred Abrenica, whose daughter, Jasmine Mae, became the overall champion of The Filipino Channel (TFC) Pop Star singing contest in Saudi Arabia in 2006, and Philippine labor attaché Manuel C.Roldan.
Molina’s daughter, Kimverlie, won the overall grand championship of the ABS-CBN TFC Pop Star Middle East Singing Competition held in Dubai in 2006.

Graduates of the Filpop, most of them now in college, have been successful in their singing career. Recently, Janette Ricasio, a former student of Filpop, together with Jasmine Mae and Kimverlie, won a national singing competition in Canada where her family migrated.

Kimverlie, who is now enrolled in a music school in Manila, will participate in the 13th Annual World Championships of Performing Arts, set to take place on July 11-19 in Los Angeles, California. The international meet is often cited as the official “World Talent Championships” for aspiring performers and entertainers.

The Filpop, which has trained about 300 Filipino children, has been transformed into an active group of about 80 Filipino families in the Eastern Province, working together to support the club started by Molina.

The club now has its own small studio at the Al-Andalus International School in Al-Khobar, where school children are trained in the art of singing and stage performance. Assisting Molina is training director, Jaypee M. Vega, an accomplished singer himself. The club also supports Filipinos who are in need of assistance. The latest recipient of the Filpop’s support was Bong Araya, who successfully underwent a kidney transplant in Manila. – SG

She won but as official representative of Saudi Arabia. In the medal tally by country, hers was a gold for that country.  Nevertheless, we are very proud of her feat alongside those of Rhap Salazar and the Voices of Negros.

how in the hell did she became a representative of saudi arabia when she was sponsored by filipinos although living in saudi? i think it's time for the RP government to make serious recognitions to talents such as Kimverlie Molina. it's so degrading that she's carrying some other nations flag where she could have been an asset of the country and a representative to WCPA. tsk tsk tsk

I believe it is her way of being unique to be recognized. Anyway, she is raised in Saudi Arabia.

Telling the whole world that she is a Filipina is already a fact we should be proud of.

Perhaps she have deep reasons why she did not represent the Philippines. Maybe the Philippine team did not include her as among them, so she goes on her own. Perhaps she wants to represent people who are deprived of musical freedom like Saudi Arabia due to strict Islamic Law.

So, just watch Kimverlie in coming shows of ABS-CBN's ASAP.

bolanon nga cebuano,

on your question how Kimverlie brought the name of Saudi Arabia and not Philippines?

First I would like to mention that after Kimverlie graduated high school at Phil. School in Dammam (PSD) she took her college at Dela Salle Univ. in Manila ( she had already won the Pop Star Award in the Middle East as staged in Dubai ).

As we knew, she grew up and had training in Saudi Arabia nor joined competition in the Philippines (in short walang proper connection and cannot solicit proper support from the Phil. music industry kay duna man sab mga groomed candidates ang Philippines which understandably Kimverlie not their own proteges, so they would prefer having their own home grown talents rather than taking an outsider even a Filipina at that who is equally superb like them.

But since we the Middle East Filipino population highly recognized the talent of Kimverlie, initiatives were done to have her joined the competition thru the WCOPA Middle East and not Philippines.  Hence, she brought the name of Saudi Arabia and not Philippines because the latter has its own set of representatives where Kimverlie is not a part.

True to our beliefs, she is one of the most outstanding performers in the competition.
