Roderick Paulate of Mega Manila save Vien Allen King than Kelly

 

Gina Alajar (mentor of South Luzon) save Arny Ross over Mykel Ong

  

and Philip Salvador (mentor of Mindanao) chose Ruru Madrid than Apple Vega

 

The judges and mentor told to everyone especially the 5 who ended their journey that "this competition is the not the end of the road, it's just the beginning.  Even though they lost their chance, still they are now part of showbizness and soon many opportunities will came up. 

The remaining 15 finalist will compete again for the second gala night this coming August 26, 2012.
