Is He Free Now? Here’s the Life of Noven Belleza Today, the First Tawag ng Tanghalan Grand Champion

Once hailed as the voice of the people, Noven Belleza—the first-ever Grand Champion of Tawag ng Tanghalan—is making headlines again. After years of silence and controversy, many are asking: Where is he now? Has he turned a new leaf? The answer may surprise you.

Noven, who captured the hearts of millions in 2017 with his soulful performances and humble backstory, rose to fame seemingly overnight. A simple farmer’s son from Negros Occidental, his victory on national television was seen as a Cinderella story in modern times.

“He may not be on primetime TV every night anymore, but his voice hasn’t changed,” said a fan who recently saw him perform in Cebu. “If anything, he sings with more heart now.”

He has also been active on social media, occasionally sharing song covers, motivational quotes, and glimpses of his life offstage. Fans often leave messages of encouragement, with many saying they still believe in his talent and are waiting for his big comeback.

In a rare interview, Noven addressed his past with humility. “I made mistakes, and I’ve paid for them in more ways than one,” he said. “But I believe people deserve second chances. I’m using mine to be better.”

His statement was met with mixed reactions. While some still criticize him, many expressed admiration for his accountability and willingness to grow. In an industry quick to cancel, Noven’s determination to redeem himself speaks volumes.

Musically, he hasn’t lost touch. In fact, sources say he’s been writing original songs, many of which talk about pain, forgiveness, and starting over. “These aren’t just songs,” he said. “They are pieces of my journey.”

Supporters are also hoping for a return to mainstream music, possibly a digital album or a comeback performance. There have been talks with smaller labels, and although nothing is final, the buzz is growing.

Despite everything, Noven remains grateful for the platform that gave him his first big break. “Tawag ng Tanghalan changed my life. I will always be thankful for that. Now, I want to honor that gift by living right and singing with purpose,” he shared.

Noven Belleza’s story is far from over. It is not just about fame, downfall, or redemption. It’s about the power of music, the consequences of choices, and the courage it takes to rise again.

As he steps cautiously but confidently back into the spotlight, one thing is clear—Noven is no longer just the farmer’s son who became a champion. He’s a man with a voice and a story that continues to unfold.
