Viewers of the ABS-CBN noontime show “It’s Showtime” tuned in to watch the grand finals of “Tawag ng Tanghalan Season 2” which took place on June 2 at the Aliw Theater.
Sixteen-year-old singer from Cebu Janine Berdin was hailed the grand winner after she garnered a total average score of 96.11% from the combined scores given by the judges, and text/online voters.
As part of her victory, Berdin won a vacation package from 2GO, a musical gadget package from JB Music, a negosyo package from Siomai House, television sets from HKTV, a management contract, a house and lot from Camella, and a trophy designed by Filipino visual artist Toym Imao, reported ABS-CBN.
Aside from the world-class Filipino talent showcased during the show, viewers also talked about the show’s host Vice Ganda, a well-known trendsetter when it comes to fashion.
During the grand finals, Vice Ganda wore five different looks and they were all head-turners.
When it was time to announce the winner of the competition, Vice Ganda donned a rather daring gown with see-through beaded fabric and a one-piece undergarment that showed off his derriere, The form-fitting gown also showed off the comedian’s curves.
Behind-the-scene photos made it online showing ABS-CBN head Cory Vidanes and It’s Showtime host Jhong Hilario looking shocked at the sight of Vice Ganda’s gown.
“Tita Cory, ano pong tinitingnan niyo?” one photo read, while the other one has the caption, “Ikaw din [Jhong], ano bang tinitingnan mo?”
Afterwards, Vice Ganda let her followers see what Vidanes and Hilario were probably looking at.
“Ito po ba yun?” Vice Ganda wrote.
On May 2015, Vice Ganda first admitted that he underwent hip enhancement surgery as part of his preparations for his past concert, “Vice Gandang Ganda Sa Sarili”.
