ORLANDO, Florida = Margaret Yu of Davao sang Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” at the recent “Voice of McDonald’s 2008″ here and came out as first-runner up. She got a standing ovation and $10,000. Yu, 22, was among 3,600 contestants from McDonald’s stores in 118 countries. A worship leader who sings in a church choir in Davao, she said she dedicated her winning song to God. Natercia Pintor of Portugal won the grand prize. Two other Filipinos made it to the semifinals -Canada-based Candido Revilles, who eventually placed third, and Yu’s best friend, Paulina Susan Bacarat, also from Davao. The contest is the biggest singing competition of its kind for 1.6 million McDonald’s employees from around the globe and from more than 30,000 restaurants in over 100 countries. Yu and Bacarat will be the international fast-food chain’s singing ambassadors. They will help raise funds for McDonald’s Charities, which looks after poor children in the Philippines.
