Yes! We did it again!
I'm Gina, grateful to be given the opportunity to host and organize this annual event. The competition of purely talent with diverse cultural backgrounds! We welcome migrant workers from Myanmar, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and from the Philippines.
As we raise the bar higher each season, we have topped our expectations this season and pressures even higher too!
But we came prepared to face all the challenges that we might encounter. Because I have with me my incredible team. HTS (HOME Talent Show) Committee alongside volunteers, Her Journey and HOME Academy babes. To complete the team, our amazing and professional board of judges who's been working with us since season 1.

As a choreographer myself I saw the exceptional effort, passion, determination, patience and commitment of each finalist especially the dance group. For some it was their stress reliever, their getaway from sadness, pain, tiredness and loneliness specially for those who have only once a month day off. For them, to be given a platform to convert all of these into art was amazing! It makes them feel like a star even for a day. To be able to recognise their talent and capabilities is a joyful feeling for them. It gives them confidence and inspires them to even do better.
Our top winner from the singing category is Diana Widiastuti, a wedding singer from Indonesia. The runner up is Richilene Revil and Diane Manalo from the Philippines.

On top of everything, this is to prove that “Migrant Workers Got Talent Too”!
