Lu Hsiao-Chien, a second-generation new immigrant from the Philippines, said that of the many singing competitions they participated in, the one that left a deep impression on her was when she signed up for the "New Power Voice-Southeast Asian Parent-Child Singing Competition" with her mother and her sister (Lu Hsiao-Ching). President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文總統) also watched the competition and witnessed the wonderful performance of the daughters with their mother on stage. The song they sung that day was the classic Philippine song "Anak", which is a very representative song in the Philippines. The lyrics talks about the love and dedication of parents to their children.
