Seguerra won The Singing Bee on July 8, 2008 after Rachel Alejandro gave up her throne as defending champion due to other engagements. He defeated his co-contestant singer Bituin Escalante. Seguerra won ₱1,040,000 for a second time on July 10, raising his total winnings to ₱2,080,000.

Personal life

Seguerra is the only child of Decoroso Seguerra and Caridad Yamson-Seguerra.
He studied at the Operation Brotherhood Montessori Center and later enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas, College of Music then shifted to the UST College of Fine Arts and Design and acquired a college degree.
On 18 August 2007, Seguerra came out publicly as a lesbian. In August 2014, he came out as a transgender man.
In 2013, Seguerra, along with other local celebrities, came together to join the PETA campaign 'Free Mali', a campaign aimed to release Mali, an Asian elephant currently living at the Manila Zoo and the only captive elephant in the Philippines, due to the poor facilities and keepers to care for him. Seguerra spoke up saying that "Mali has been sentenced to a life of loneliness, misery and neglect. When people all around the world are calling for Mali to be freed, in light of the suffering he has endured at the hands of the Manila Zoo, the proposal to bring in more elephants to the zoo is outrageous. They would have to endure the same cramped, concrete conditions, lack of exercise and improper veterinary care as Mali has for the past 36 years."
On 8 December 2014, Seguerra married model and actress Liza Diño in California, United States.
