The Sacred Riana with Christian Suwarna, Traveloka Senior
Vice President Business Development
Traveloka, Southeast Asia’s leading booking app for flights
and hotels, is proud to have partnered with Asia’s Got Talent in crowning The
Sacred Riana from Indonesia, the grand winner for Season 2. She bested eight
other finalists, impressing the judges and audiences in the region with her
extraordinary talent and grit during the spectacular Results Show at Marina Bay
Sands.
The Sacred Riana emerged on top of other finalists from
around the region, including the Philippines’ own hiphop dance group DM-X
Comvaleñoz (runner-up,) beatboxer Neil Rey Garcia Llanes (third place,) and
another hiphop dance group Urban Crew, to win the title and chase her dreams in
the international stage. As the show’s primary sponsor, Traveloka rewarded The
Sacred Riana with a cash prize of USD100,000.
“We are thrilled to have witnessed the euphoria of someone
finally achieving her dream in the presence of her family and friends,” said
Traveloka Senior Vice President Business Development, Christian Suwarna.
Suwarna also said that one of the main reasons Traveloka
partnered with Asia’s Got Talent was because both giants were in the business
of making dreams come true - AGT with regards to recognizing talent and
Traveloka with connecting people to their loved ones via budget-friendly
flights and hotels.
To further build on this, Traveloka rewarded the winners of
the Traveloka Award and the Golden Buzzer Acts with trips to Europe. Determined
by public voting on the Traveloka - AGT website (www.travelokaagt.com), the
Traveloka Award is given to the contestant with the most inspiring story and
unique talent. The audience voted for Pannawach Dechapanya of Thailand after he
revealed that the reason he loved singing was because it made his mother smile
despite her struggle with heart disease. Filipino finalists in this special
award are young singing protégé Fitri Cerado who reached the semi-finals, and
grand finalists DM-X Comvaleñoz and Urban Crew.
On the other hand, the Golden Buzzer is reserved for acts
that are incredible on stage that the judges send the contestants straight to
the semi-finals.. For season 2, these acts included ADEM Dance Crew, Akira,
Canion Shijirbat, and Feng E.
“Traveloka has been a valuable partner for AXN and Asia’s
Got Talent as the team shares in our values of recognizing and furthering
talent in the region. Through the strength of Traveloka’s digital platforms,
vast reach, and impressive influence, we have been able to amplify Asia’s Got
Talent to new audiences in multiple markets. We look forward to collaborating
with Traveloka again in the near future to realize the dreams of the next
generation of aspiring performers on Asia’s Got Talent,” said Sony Pictures
Television Networks Asia Vice President of Media and Sponsorship Sales,
Jacqueline Tok.
