Cantiveros, who shot to fame when she won the reality TV show "Pinoy Big Brother," whose winners are determined by votes from viewers, was named the first-ever winner of the celebrity competition "Your Face Sounds Familiar" on Sunday night.
Garnering 51.93% of total votes, Cantiveros impersonated Miley Cyrus for her final performance and was hailed as the grand winner.
But Cantiveros believes it was God who made her win.
"Siguro dahil ang aking charity is sa simbahan, kaya thank you, Lord," Cantiveros told reporters after the show.
She took home P2 million, half of which will be donated to her chosen charity, the Alay Kapwa Desk of the Social Action Center of the Diocese of Marbel.
Cantiveros also took the opportunity to thank those who voted for her, especially her fans. "Sa mga sumporta, sa mga text-text, thank you very much," she said.
The other finalists Nyoy Volante, Jay R and Edgar Allan Guzman also thanked their fans and supporters.
"Just to be in the Final 2 at ito ang kalaban mo ng text votes ang labanan, it's a very big thing for me," Volante said.
"Happy naman ako. Expected naman 'yon. ang lakas ng mga kalaban namin. We werent' thinking na ano, lahat kami winners na," Jay R said.
"Deserve ni Melai ang pagiging grand winner ng 'Your Face Sounds Familiar' at masaya din ako dahil nakapasok ako sa top 4," Guzman said.
