Badua, Toledo’s Filipino trainer, said Christine will be ready for her coming fight.

“Christine really commits herself to training and delivers the best she can. She acknowledges that she isn’t perfect,” Badua said.

“After every fight, she realizes that there is always room for improvement and so much more to learn. That’s what makes her a great person and fighter,” he added.Toledo was born to Adelina Quindara Toledo who hails from Zambales and Oscar Rodriguez Toledo who is from Cavite.

Toledo’s most recent visit to the Philippines was in November 2007.

Other Filipino fighters on the card include Romie Adanza, Shane Del Rosario, and the main event featuring professional muay-thai champion Michael Mananquil.

Another Filipina is gaining popularity in the United Kingdom and she is nineteen-year-old singer-songwriter Catherine “Kcat” Lingal. Kcat’s single “My Destiny” is currently at no. 10 in the British Music Chart.

On BBC Radio 1’s Official CHART SHOW with Fearne & Reggie last Sunday May 11th, Kcat’s “My Destiny” climbed to number 10 from its rank last week at number 13.

The dance track is about love - finding “the one” and finding your destiny.

Kcat is currently in the Philippines to promote her CD and to have a short vacation as well.

She thanked fellow Filipinos who supported her career in England.

“The Philippines had been very supportive and my family. Filipinos in England are very supportive as well, and everywhere I go I’m well talked of because of my heritage and that makes me a proud Filipina as well,” she said.

THE E-MAIL WAS SIGNED simply: Mado.

That’s the nickname of Madonna Decena, the Filipina singer who impressed audience and judges alike in the reality contest “Britain’s Got Talent (BGT).”

She passed the first round with flying colors and has moved on to the semi-finals.

Since uploading on YouTube on April 19, the video of her performance on BGT has gotten over 350,000 hits.

But Mado had gone through the wringer before hitting the big time.

In a series of e-mails to Inquirer Entertainment, she related a story commonly told by countless Filipinos who have opted to work abroad. Although she often goes onstage all dolled up, life as an OFW is far from glamorous, she confirmed.

Now 32, her first stint abroad was in Singapore, where she performed at Hard Rock Café and Club Momo, her father Rey Decena related in an earlier phone interview with the Inquirer.

Upon her return from Singapore, Mado was encouraged by high-school friend Renz Santos to try her luck in his new home, the United Kingdom.

With a student visa, she moved to Prescot in the UK in 2006. “Being a student, I was allowed only 20 hours of part-time work [weekly],” she recalled.

Back-breaking grind

Since gigs as a singer were all too rare, she worked in a Subway sandwich store.

“I took the late or closing shifts,” she recounted. “I had to clean and serve at the same time. It was hard work. Sometimes I had to drag my feet to get home.”

She also worked at a Choco Fruit outlet where she often stayed for “10 hours straight.”

Dad Rey said Mado didn’t mind the back-breaking grind. “She’s used to that. When she was studying in Miriam (College), she worked as marketing trainee at McDonald’s SM City and acted in stage musicals with Musical Theater Philippines and Trumpets. She wanted to help us out with her tuition.”

Mado admitted that her part-time jobs in the UK weren’t enough to make ends meet. And that inspired her to go back to music.

“Renz found Steve Jones Entertainment on the Internet,” she related. “They were looking for talents for a girl band. I passed the auditions and practiced with the girls.”

But her management company decided to bill Mado as a solo act. “That was how I got a work permit,” she said. “But I had to go back to Manila to complete my papers. So I went home in July 2007.”

That’s the last time she saw her two daughters: Ysl, 7, and Yra, 6, who are now staying with her parents Rey and Tess in their Quezon City home.

Best performer tag

Until the Internet connection in their house was disrupted last month, Rey said that his granddaughters communicated with their mother by chatting on Yahoo messenger every night. Now they just text and call each other regularly.

Between July 2007 and February 2008, when she auditioned for BGT, Mado sang in a string of shows and concerts. She got good reviews from those stints and was declared “best performer” on at least two occasions.

Rey said his daughter was naturally drawn to competitions like BGT because she had joined and topped countless local singing contests as a kid.

“I was ‘Star Smile Factory’ grand champion,” she said. “I also joined ‘Lunch Date,’ ‘Tanghalan ng Kampeon,’ and ‘National Panasonic Quest for the Best,’” Madonna enumerated.

Her background in theater undoubtedly helped hone her skills as a performer, Rey said.

Stage actor and director Audie Gemora of Trumpets points out, “Madonna is a testament to how dedication can one day pay off. For years, she was in the chorus of shows like ‘Lapu-Lapu,’ ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,’ and ‘Joseph the Dreamer,’ but never once did I hear her complain about how small her part was.”

That Mado wowed the likes of judge Simon Cowell came as no surprise to Audie. “She’s long been ready for such a moment,” he said.

Singing from the heart

Singer Celeste Legaspi of Musical Theater Philippines told the Inquirer: “I worked with Madonna in several plays—particularly, for the centennial celebrations (in 1998). In ‘Katy!” she played Mary Walter and in ‘Larawan,’ she was alternate to Mikee Cojuangco. She has grown a lot as a performer from what I saw on YouTube. She always had a good strong voice, but now she sings from the heart. That’s what bowled them over.”

Mado recalled that the BGT audience’s and judges’ reaction stunned her. “I didn’t expect that because I wasn’t able to give a hundred percent that day. I was on my own and not feeling well. I had [the sniffles] and had been crying at the pre-interview. I was trying to control my emotions, but I lost it when the audience gave me a standing ovation.”
