She also won as Best Interpreter at the Asia Song Festival held in Hong Kong in February 1997 for her rendition of the song "You Lift Me Up", composed by Danny Tan with lyrics by Dodjie Simon. This composition also received the grand prize, the Best Song award. In the late '90s, the radiowaves in the Philippines were filled with Jaya's songs. At present, the radiowaves are filled with Jaya's songs. Her albums were bestsellers in records stores nationwide.
Jaya found better success in her hometown, the Philippines where she has become successful in music, television, and also theater.
