Ang Bagong Kampeon (lit. 'The New Champion') was a nationally televised amateur singing contest that aired on Radio Philippines Network (Solar TV) in the Philippines. It aired from 1982 to October 1988. It was hosted by Bert Marcelo and Pilita Corrales. The television show has launched the careers of several successful singers, notably, Regine Velasquez and Donna Cruz.[1]
