Survivor Philippines unveils final 10 castaways

MANILA, Philippines - Expect a more intense game, strong alliances, and unexpected betrayals this month as Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown bares its top 10 castaways aiming to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other to become the next Celebrity Sole Survivor!

With its pairing scheme already dropped in the game, there is no stopping this season’s Survivor Philippines from further sizzling the night after the remaining castaways from the warring tribes of Moon goddess Bulan and Stars goddess Tala merged to form the tribe Apolaki, the Sun god.

The 10 castaways — Chuckie Dreyfus, KC Montero, Gino dela Peña, Mara Yokohama, John Odulio, Stef Prescott, Maey Bautista, Betong Sumaya, Arnold Aninion and Arthur Solinap — were all surprised when host Richard Gutierrez, after ordering them to dig up a wooden cylinder each, announced the merging of the tribes.

The castaways, now all wearing green buffs, were treated to a merge feast featuring the castaways’ favorite food including lechon, pizza, batchoy, chicken with pineapple, bacon cheeseburger, lasagna, spam and eggs and kare-kare. Aside from the feast, the castaways were also surprised with a fire dance performance from Rachel Lobangco.

This Monday, get to know more of the Apolaki members as Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown relives the rollercoaster-ride journey of the top ten castaways — from their exciting first day on the island, to all the physical challenges, emotional struggles, unforgettable camp life, life-threatening experiences and even how they end up as one of the top ten castaways.

Will there be more betrayals and unexpected changes in alliance just like what happened to former Tala tribe when then castaway Carlo Gonzalez, who was made to believe he was safe going into the tribal council, got voted off at the last minute?

Catch the new moves and schemes as the top ten castaways try to outwit, outplay and outlast each other to become the next Celebrity Sole Survivor beginning tonight on Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown after Munting Heredera on GMA Network.
