Jessica Sanchez will welcome 2026 in the Philippines, as she is set to grace a New Year’s countdown event in the Metro.
Sanchez was announced as a performer for Newport World Resorts’ ‘The Grand Countdown to 2026’ event at the Manila Marriott Grand Ballroom on Wednesday, December 31, as seen on its social media platforms.
‘JESSICA SANCHEZ IS COMING HOME! Witness the vocal powerhouse’s first homecoming performance after her historic America’s Got Talent win,’ the post read.
Sanchez’s homecoming comes three months after she won the championship on the 20th season of ‘America’s Got Talent,’ a historic victory 20 years after she joined the talent competition’s inaugural season.
One of the highlights of her ‘America’s Got Talent’ journey was the announcement of her pregnancy to her first child with non-showbiz husband Rickie Gallardo. They have since welcomed their daughter last October.
Sanchez is also notable for competing on the 11th season of ‘American Idol’ where she finished as a runner-up to Philip Philips. She released her debut studio album ‘Me, You and the Music,’ which also contains the single ‘Tonight’ with Ne-Yo, and also appeared in two episodes of the hit series ‘Glee.’
