The first Eurovision Song Contest Asia has its champion. CARMELLE won for the Philippines at One Bangkok Forum on 14 November 2026.
She finished first in both voting groups. Thailand followed in second place on 170 points, with Vietnam third on 164.
One debut. A first champion.
For a contest making its debut, the winning song becomes an introduction as well as a result. If “Sobra-Sobra” is your first encounter with CARMELLE, start with the performance and then explore the music behind it.

From Philippine selection to Bangkok
Written by Nica del Rosario and Mat Olavides, “Sobra-Sobra” was selected through the Philippine national final. Its theme is women’s empowerment.
That journey gives new fans two performances to explore: the selection that earned CARMELLE her place, and the live performance that won the international final.
What happens next?
The next host, dates and participants need their own announcements. A win for the Philippines is a moment to celebrate; it does not make a Manila contest a confirmed event.
