In a previous interview, Gela expressed her pride in representing the Philippines at this esteemed event. The Star Magic artist felt quite confident about her crew’s chances."It's the championship. We have no option but to win," she said, reflecting the crew's ambition and unwavering commitment.

The championship was a fierce battleground, with teams from across the globe showcasing their best. Fortunately, under with solid teamwork, Legit Status delivered technically brilliant and emotionally resonant performances.

But to truly appreciate this crowning achievement, one must delve into Gela's multifaceted journey. She left a significant mark as one of the featured stars during the grand opening of Bench Fashion Week (BFW) Holiday 2022. This event marked its first physical runway after transitioning to a virtual format during the pandemic's peak. Gela's performance, embodying the spirit of the '70s, showcased her versatility and stage presence.

Born into showbiz royalty, Gela balanced her academic pursuits with her passion for dance. Her affiliation with Poveda Enciende and her training under choreographers like Matt Stefanina and Sienna Lalau laid the foundation for her dance journey. 
It should be noted that with Poveda Enciende, that Gela and her high school dance troupe bagged the bronze medal in the International Cheer Union Hip Hop division and the gold medal in the Dance Worlds competition in Orlando, Florida.
It was with Legit Status that her calling for the art of dance deepened as the group embarked on a journey where they pushed boundaries, innovated, and evolved. Their performances blended creativity, emotional depth, and technical skill.
During the challenging phases of preparation for the championship, coach Vimi Rivera, played an instrumental role. Vimi's encouragement and belief in Gela and the rest helped them stay strong, even when faced with obstacles. Their collective efforts bore fruit when Legit Status delivered a performance at the championship that left audiences and judges spellbound.

Beyond this historic win, Gela remains a force to reckon with in the entertainment industry. Brands like Spotify, Dove, and Immunpro frequently collaborate with her, and she is gearing up for several mainstream projects set to launch in 2023.
