For the first shocking revelation this season, the protégés from the different teams were paired up into seven duos to showcase various themed performances. The protégés who got the boot were David John Llanas and Steffi Pacheco of Team Mindanao and Vien Allen King and Andres Vasquez of Team Manila. Meanwhile, Shelly Hipolito of Team North and Central Luzon advanced to the next round and made it to the Top 10.
The gala night landed on the top local trending topics on Twitter, putting the topic (#ProtegeShock) in the no. 1 spot in Philippines‘ most trending topics on the microblogging site. The elimination last night was based on the combined scores of the judges plus the text votes.
Watch for the aftermath of ProtegeShock later and the challenges of the 10 remaining proteges on “Inside Protege” 10:30pm hosted by Jennylyn Mercado on GMA Network.
