She said that even though she experienced a lot of technical problems that day because her CD didn't work and she used her cellphone instead just so she can sing the minus one.
"Sobrang speechless po ako, sobrang blessed dahil sa dami po ng sumali sa iba't ibang bansa na sobrang magagaling din po, ako po yung nanalo kaya very thankful po ako." Beverly said during the interview. It was indeed a big honor to bring home such an amazing award after all, it's her dream and step by step she is finally fulfilling it.

Since she started out singing with "Birit songs", her genre is more on Ballad songs although she said, she doesn't limit herself with just ballad, she can also sing pop songs but for now she wants to concentrate with slow and ballad songs and OPM too.
Beverly Caimen started showing her talent in singing when she was 5 years old. Her teachers were amazed when they heard her singing the Nursery Rhymes with her very nice voice and good melody. She was then invited to sing during class programs at the age of 7. She joined the school's choir group at an early age of 8 and luckily their school won First Place in the CHOIR SINGING GROUP CONTEST in Calamba City.
When she was 9 years old, Bgy.Banlic, Cabuyao, launched an Amateur Singing Contest. Her Mother trained her basically to prepare for the said contest. It was her first time to be seen in public that she was so nervous. She didn't win this time, so her mother decided to find for the right person to train her. Her first trainor was Coach Edwin of Cabuyao, Laguna.
After 3 months, enrolled in a new voice training center under Coach Agie (Agatha Guinto). She learned how to open her high vocal range. She was able then to join several singing contests in Cabuyao, Laguna with Coach Agie's help and won some awards under her care.
Since Coach Agie and family moved to Canada, Beverly went to ANGELS DREAMERS POP MUSIC TRAINING CENTER (Calamba City) under Coach Angeline De Los Santos-Beverly's 3rd Vocal coach. In her time Beverly won 2nd Place in ANILAG FESTIVAL singing contest 2009. This contest is done yearly in Sta. Cruz Laguna Capitol. Beverly was already 13 years old at that time.
Coach Cynthia ( Hart ) Manara was the next coach to teach Beverly year 2010. Coach Hart supported Beverly in almost all of her contests from year 2010-2011. During this period Beverly won several contests from Barrios of Cabuyao and Calamba, Laguna.
This is the present handler of Beverly in vocal training-ECHO MUSIC VOICE & TALENT CENTER, Tanauan City owned by Francis Mansit. She started training here in the Mid year of 2011. She was enrolled by Mr. Rene Lozano who previously saw Beverly in one of the contests in Cabuyao and began handling her by joining amateurs in the towns of Batangas. He encouraged her mother to let Beverly join contests in the towns of Batangas. This was then the start of Beverly's big challenges in the world of Singing Competitions for she had to compete with the Dragons of the contests. Dragons are those who had been reigning in the contests because of their superb voices. Beverly had to really undergo serious trainings before joining the contests that time and Coach Francis Mansit was able to give his best to improve Beverly with her performance and vocal range. Luckily, Beverly was able to beat her opponents in some of the singing contests.
Until Now Beverly is still under ECHO MUSIC. If she has to have guestings and performances, she will ask the help of Coach (Francis) Kit for training. She was able to join some auditions in GMA & ABS-CBN singing contests and one that almost gave her the chance was X-FACTOR SEASON 1, in the year 2012.
