Davao Region is home to many talented individuals in different fields of expertise in the Culture and the Arts. Each of which have different skills to share, just like in Musical Arts. There stood a woman of pride, with a voice representing the whole region. As high as Mount Apo’s peak, she reached a milestone, bringing Davao del Sur State College to the national stage.

Nathaniela Lodovice, a BS Development Communication student of Davao del Sur State College proudly represented the Davao Region for the Pop Solo Category in the PASUC National Culture and the Arts Festival 2026 held at West Visayas State University, La Paz, Iloilo City on April 8 to 11, 2026. Among all the regions, she placed a 3rd Runner-Up finish with her rendition of “Sino Ang Baliw”, testifying that Davao Region is a haven of singers like her.

Yela’s journey to the national stage started at the PASUC Regional Culture and the Arts Festival. During her preparations, she puts her heart and soul in every lyrics and melody written between every note. She takes everything that she could to bring the best performance to bring pride and honors to DSSC — with that dedication and prayers, she championed her way to represent the DSSC Community and Davao Region for the PASUC NCAF 2026.

“It is an honor and a privilege to have been given the chance to represent DSSC again on the stage of PASUC RCAF, and I am truly beyond grateful for the result—it is exactly what I prayed for.” She stated as she expressed her gratitude to represent DSSC again in the RCAF saying that this is the opportunity that made her the best version of herself, as this holds value in her heart.

She then added “I am looking forward to seeing talented people from all around the Philippines, as all 17 regions will compete in the PASUC NCAF.” And as she stressed it she also wants to learn from each region and to experience what Iloilo City has in store for her.

She also left a message for the young girls of DSSC whom she wants to help convey a message through her talent and persistency. “Keep doing what you love, no matter what—even if you stumble and fall, stand up again and continue moving forward. Let your story inspire others.”

As she clinched victory for our college and region she raised the bar high. She rippled the voice that was once spread in a small room, turning the room into a big hall of dreams. Yela’s victorious feat is a testament that with dedication, persistency, love for talent and prayers, you can achieve whatever dreams you want to achieve in life. There is nothing impossible when you believe, and that is who she is — a prowess of resiliency and a melody that echoes throughout the Philippines.
