Last year, Belle Mariano made history after being the first Filipina to claim SDA’s Outstanding Asian Star prize. She graced the awarding night to receive her trophy, where she met other international artists like the K-Pop idol Kang Daniel.
Meanwhile, a few other Filipino talents were previously featured in SDA before Mariano’s landmark. The list includes Dennis Trillo, Gabby Concepcion, Alden Richards, and Dingdong Dantes, who all received the Asian Star Prize.
