Charice, Pilita tie in eliminated acts

CEBU, Philippines - Judge-mentors Charice and Pilita Corrales are now tied in having only two contestants as mentees in the competition as the biggest musical event “The X Factor Philippines” trims down the top 12 finalists every week.

Charice was the first to bid goodbye to her mentee Jerrianne Templo from the Girls and last Sunday (Aug 12), Pilita also said farewell to one of her mentees from the Over 25s, Mark Mabasa. Mark and all male group Takeoff were at the bottom two last week and the judges were split on their decisions.

Since the judges were at deadlock, the public votes sent Mark home who got 3.72% of votes vs. Takeoff’s 3.90%.

Ten remaining acts battle it out this week in another intense musical showdown with the theme rock and roll. Be sure to save your favorites from being in the bottom two and vote for them after they all perform tonight.

To vote, text XF<space>JERIC/GAB/KED/ALLEN/KZ/TAKE/DAD/JAM/JOAN/MOD and send to 2331 for Globe and Sun subscribers and 231 for Smart and Talk ‘n Text subscribers.
