With a runner-up finish on the 5th Season of Starstruck a Philippine-Talent search, Diva Montelaba of Cebu have shown everyone that being different is actually an advantage. On what seemed to be a surprising results of the talent search where half-Filipino, half-Morrocan Sarah Lahbati snatched the title over the talented lass from Cebu — Diva who garnered the most number of public votes among all the female survivors in the competition was denied the Ultimate Survivor title due to low grades from the council who seemed to favor the fair skinned Lahbati who only got a single minor award for a music video test–whereas Montelaba received 2 major awards including Best in Acting and Dancing . Still, the Search’ s first princess is confident that she’ll have a great career ahead of her now that she’s part of the GMA Artists Center.
This 19 year old aspiring actress is expected to rise to stardom quickly–thanks to her undeniable talent, beauty and charisma . And with her very tall physique, this Cebuana could someday be a beauty queen representing the real “Filipina” beauty.
