Singer and former child star Aiza Seguerra is now in cloud nine after winning the P1 million grand prize of ABS-CBN’s show "The Singing Bee."

Seguerra, who reigned as the show’s champion for three nights, went on to win the competition on  Wednesday, July 9, after she filled in the missing lyrics of five songs.

Seguerra got the chance to be next the show's winner after singer Rachel Alejandro gave up her title as the defending champion since she needed to fly abroad for her other commitments. Alejandro was  the show’s first P1 million winner.
 
Before becoming the newest Singing Bee millionaire, the former child star defeated her co-contestant, fellow singer Bituin Escalante,  and won a cash prize.

Seguerra joined the “Singing Bee” also to promote her latest album titled "Open Arms."

In interview during the show, Seguerra told host Cesar Montano “Open Arms” will be released either this month of August or September.  "Open Arms" is the follow-up to Seguerra's previous album, "Para Lang Sa 'Yo".

Seguerra made one of the most notable comebacks in Philippine showbiz when, after her acting career nosedived as she entered adulthood, she  made a name in music industry with her monster hit song "Pagdating ng Panahon"

Seguerra said her "Open Arms" album was produced by an international music firm from Singapore and will be released by ABS-CBN's music outfit Star Records.

Seguerra only had 17 days to record the10-track album, which features revivals of old hits such as "Open Arms," "Time After Time," "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," "At last," "Vincent," "Smooth Operator," "Home," "Journey," and "Longer."

Seguerra said that she will be flying to Singapore to promote her album right after her performance for the stage play "Avenue Q" ends.

Seguerra is a contract artist of Star Records but on a per album basis only.

Presently, Seguerra’s “Sa’yo Lamang” is the theme song of Kapamilya's hit Koreanovela "Romantic Princess."
