Eurovision Asia 2026 results: Philippines' CARMELLE wins with Sobra-Sobra
The Philippines has made history by winning the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest Asia, with CARMELLE taking out the title with her song Sobra-Sobra.
The Filipino star triumphed over 10 other countries at the Grand Final held at One Bangkok Forum in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday 14 November, local time.
CARMELLE won the event with Thailand finishing runner-up and Vietnam placing third.
Performing sixth in the running order, CARMELLE delivered a powerful vocal performance of Sobra-Sobra, wearing a striking blue and red flame-inspired outfit and joined on stage by a group of dancers.
The empowering anthem, featuring lyrics in Filipino and English, was written by Nica del Rosario and Mat Olavides and celebrates female strength and self-confidence.
CARMELLE was selected to represent the Philippines after winning the country's national selection, Philippine Selection Night, in August.
The 19-year-old singer first rose to prominence through television singing competitions, including The Voice Kids and Tawag ng Tanghalan, which she went on to win, before appearing on Pinoy Big Brother.
Her victory marks a historic moment for the Philippines and for the Eurovision Song Contest brand, which has expanded into Asia for the first time.
Eleven countries competed in the inaugural Contest, with the winner determined through a combination of professional juries and public voting, each contributing 50 per cent of the result.
