Matteo De Jesus, the winner of the 40th Kanta Na! Song Festival.
Mabuhay Landians may be disappointed in the debut, but we have high hope on this one. A newbie in the show business, Matteo De Jesus, is the representative of Mabuhay Land to the 65th Worldvision Music Festival. With his song, Loving It, he won the ticket to Worldvision. We expect that his performance may relieve the failures of Elena Ramirez and bring us up to the top 10s.

Also, Chairman Galang announced the discontinuation of "Kanta Na!", which was part of Mabuhay Land's history for 4 decades. He stresses out that an international jury is prohibited by "Kanta Na!", making a new music festival.
Chairman Galang (in Filipino): At, isa pang announcement, ang "Kanta Na!" ay aalis na. (And, one more announcement, "Kanta Na!" have to go.)
Reporter: Sir, what is the reason for the discontinuation ng "Kanta Na!"?
Galang: We will now be open to international juries, inviting several judges from several parts of the globe. This is a way to show our music is global, like K-Pop.
