### 2019–2020: Post–Tawag ng Tanghalan and controversial TNT winning announcement

After the second round performance between Osabel and Mariko Ledesma, Ledesma claimed the Seat of Power, dethroning Osabel. However, after the winning moment, the screen displayed the split scoring, revealing both the public and judges' scores. Viewers noticed that Osabel received a judges' score of 16.50%, while Ledesma earned 50%. Alleging "rigged" results, netizens began using the hashtags #JusticeForMariane and #HustisyaParaKayMariane, which trended on Twitter, as users expressed their frustration and sentiments over the judges' scores.
On September 14, 2019, three days after the performances of Osabel and Ledesma, which aired on September 11, 2019, Tawag ng Tanghalan judge Dulce addressed the controversial result of Ledesma dethroning Osabel. She stated that Osabel sounded different live than what was broadcast but failed to explain the impossibly low score given to Osabel. Other individuals involved mentioned that the public was unaware of what transpired behind the scenes or the pressure the judges were under.
After the controversial result, Osabel withdrew from competing in the Final Resbak due to health issues, while Mariko Ledesma, one of the grand finalists for Huling Tapatan, also withdrew for personal reasons related to the backlash from netizens. In a 2021 virtual interview with LionHearTV, Osabel revealed that she became traumatized after not winning in Tawag ng Tanghalan and developed a fear of joining singing competitions.

### 2021: The Clash

In 2020, the year after her Tawag ng Tanghalan journey and despite the controversy, Osabel auditioned for the third season of The Clash but did not pass. She re-auditioned for Season 4 in 2021 and was finally selected to compete in the fourth season.
Osabel participated in the fourth season of The Clash and was dubbed the "Ultimate Siren ng Iligan City." In her One-on-One round, she performed Paraisong Parisukat by Basil Valdez, advancing to the second round. In the grand finals, she faced Vilmark Viray in a one-on-one clash. Osabel performed an original composition, Bakit Mahal Pa Rin Kita, written by Harish Joya, while Viray performed Umuwi Ka Na. Osabel ultimately emerged as the grand champion of the fourth season of the Philippine reality singing competition The Clash.
