Aside from a total of P500,000 cash prize, Yesha also received a talent contract from ABS-CBN’s talent management arm, Star Magic and Promil Pre-School, and a year supply of Promil Pre-School products.

Yesha, who just turned four last June 26, is the youngest among the contestants or the i-Shiners. Asked if she expected to win, the witty kid said, “Yes, I already know that I will win because I really want to be the Grand i-Shiner.”
JM Andres, the “Exceptional Hiphop Dancer” and Nathan Bautista, the “Electrifying Junior Rocker”, both seven years old and from Cavite, meanwhile, were hailed as the Top i-Shiner for dancing and singing respectively, and took home P200,000 each.
This season, the program was divided into three main performing categories – singing, dancing and acting. Each category consists of four i-Shiners mentored by Pinky Amador, Georcelle Dapat-Sy and Piolo Pascual.
During the grand finale, the i-Shiners showed their exceptional talent and full confidence as they shared the stage and performed with their talented mentors.
The 12 finalists underwent more than two months of development program, workshops and trainings and these were aired on ABS-CBN every Saturday morning.
Winners were determined based on text votes (30%) and scores by judges from ABS-CBN and Wyeth Nutrition management (70%).
