CEBU CITY, Philippines — The New Channel (TNC) proudly announces the renewal of its partnership with Zeus 808 Productions and Marketing Services, Inc. for the staging of the Karaoke World Championships (KWC) Philippines Visayas Region for the 2026 – 2027 seasons.
Following the success of previous collaborations, this renewed partnership marks an exciting expansion of KWC Philippines’ presence across the Visayas. Together, TNC and Zeus 808 Productions are set to bring the KWC experience to multiple venues throughout Cebu, giving more aspiring singers greater access to audition opportunities. The collaboration will also extend to Bacolod City, further strengthening KWC Philippines’ commitment to discovering world-class Filipino vocal talent across the region.
Rather than limiting auditions to a single location, the 2026-2027 season will feature a broader and more dynamic series of audition stops, allowing participants from different communities to showcase their talents closer to home. This expanded approach reflects both organizations’ shared vision of making KWC more accessible while fostering stronger local engagement.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the renewed collaboration, Ronie Felix, Head of Zeus 808 Productions, shared:
“Our team at Zeus 808 Productions is truly excited to continue this partnership with TNC and KWC Philippines. This renewed collaboration allows us to bring KWC to even more communities across the Visayas, with several audition legs planned in Cebu and Bacolod. We believe there is an incredible pool of untapped talent waiting to be discovered, and we are honored to help provide aspiring singers with a bigger stage and greater opportunities to pursue their dreams.”
Apple Esplana-Manansala, Country Director of KWC Philippines and president of The New Channel, likewise welcomed the renewed partnership. ” We are excited to continue our partnership with Zeus 808 Productions. Their passion for producing quality events and their commitment to nurturing local talent perfectly align with KWC’s mission. Together, we look forward to reaching even more aspiring performers throughout Cebu, Bacolod, and the rest of the Visayas. “
Zeus 808 Productions has consistently demonstrated excellence in event production and artist development, making them an invaluable partner in KWC Philippines’ nationwide expansion. Their local expertise and strong community connections will play a vital role in delivering memorable audition experiences and identifying exceptional talents who could represent the Philippines on the international stage.
As KWC Philippines continues to grow, TNC remains committed to building strategic partnerships that empower Filipino artists and create opportunities for them to shine both locally and globally.
