Another “Rakista” of GMA 7’s reality talent search, Pinoy Idol Warren Antig was the recent eliminated idol hopeful last Sunday, August 03 at the SM Mall of Asia. The 25 year old Baguio native ends his idol journey having the least number of text votes from the public.
Warren Antig, together with Jay Ann Baustista, Ram Chavez, Gretchen Espina, Kid Camaya and Daryl Celis all lined up in the center of the Idol stage and waited for Raymond Guttierez’ random announcement of elimination. Three remaining Idol hopefuls were left at the center stage as Raymond finally announces Warren Antig as the person leaving the competition that night.
After singing his last song, “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo” a Basil Valdez masterpiece, Raymond Guttierez announced that there might be another Idol aspirant that would also join Warren Antig on his exit that night but, as what I’ve expected, no one was eliminated aside from Warren Antig. After those intensifying announcement, Raymond finally reveals that the grand face off of Pinoy Idol will be on August 17, 2008 at the SMX of SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Three Idol hopefuls will fight for one title, the first Pinoy Idol. It means that, on next Sunday, August 10, two other Idol contestants will be booted out of the competition.
I was again so disappointed for these so-called “big announcement or revelation” on Pinoy Idol. I really do admit that I was happy enough for Warren Antig’s exit on the show but those things that Raymond Guttierez were announcing since last week, I was never surprised or shocked. Three idol contestants will battle for one title on the finals night, looks like the network wants to finish the show immediately I wonder why? Is it because they knew who will bag the million prizes?
A lot of prizes will be given away for the first Pinoy Idol, P1 Million cash courtesy of SM Super Malls, a brand new car worth P1 Million, a recording contract from Sony-BMG records, a talent management contract from GMA 7 artist center worth P500, 000.00 and a condo unit from Avida Towers in New Manila worth P2.2 Million, a total of P 5.7 Million will be taken home by the lucky Idol winner.
It’s going to be the final battle among the remaining five Idol hopefuls. Who’re the top three on your list? Let’s find out the results on Sunday as the competition gets tougher and intense in Pinoy Idol.

@ Prinsesa Musang
actually, Pinoy Idol was just an adoptation of the original American Idol, GMA7 bought the rights from Fremantle Media to bring the reality talent search here in the Philippines. They have the same procedure from auditions up to the performance night, elimination process and the voting procedure.that’s the rule given by Fremantle.
thanks again for posting!
