Trisha and Josh, named SM Little Stars for Davao!

Little stars took center stage at the SM Davao Atrium last September 20. From the 12 shining stars (6 girls, 6 boys), two talented kids were crowned as the SM Davao Regional SM Little Stars Winners.

Amiable Trisha Lorraine Dioso, 6 y.o., bagged the title together with the dashing Josh Obenario, 7 y.o. as their stars shine the brightest that Sunday afternoon. Both Trisha and Josh are residents of the Davao City.

Being schooled at Stella Maris Academy of Davao (Trisha) and at the University of Immaculate Conception (Josh), both little stars dream of becoming professionals someday. However, while at their youth, the two also enjoy the limelight, entertaining people.

During the competition, both showed off their moves-- Trisha doing the Arabian belly dance and Josh, performing as Michael Jackson. Both also displayed their wit and charm in a candid interview.

The two will be sent to Manila for the Grand Finals set on October 11 at the Music Hall of the Mall of Asia together with 24 other finalists from all over the country.

More than the competition however, it is the experience of acquiring new skills from workshops and trainings under Mr. Audie Gemora (Stages) and ultimately, the opportunity to meet new friends from all over await them.

The little stars will be judged according to their Star Quality (30%), Personality (30%) and Talent (40%). Further, 30% of the total score will be based on SM Popularity Votes. Shoppers may vote for their favorite stars with a purchase of an SM GreenBag, and dropping duly filled out ballots at the drop boxes near the SM GreenBag booths. Voting is open from September 21 to October 6 only.
