Froilan Canlas Sings Light And Shade, Ogie Alcasid Launches Campaign
Hurado Ogie and host Vice Ganda both paid close attention to Froilan’ song choice for Awit Ng Buhay. Pleased with the lyrics, Vice asked Froilan to sing the following words: Sail on the wings of a cloud where to well / Nobody knows / And cry, cry if you want them to see, die every day to be free / Be proud, to wear the colours that you call your own / Be loud, speak out when you want the world to know / Be strong, hold the flame for everyone to see / Be weak, if you want to love.
Hurado Ogie said Froilan’s take on the pop song gave it the feel of an anthem. Froilan Canlas is an artist, said the prolific songwriter. Ogie gave Froilan the highest possible compliment a judge could give to a semi-finalist. He said he could be judged for being biased, but he campaigned for Froilan, anyway. He said it would be such an “injustice” if Froilan would not make it to the grand finals.
Tawag Ng Tanghalan voting re-opened right after Froilan’s number. After a suspenseful commercial break, the two contestants joining the grand finalists were revealed. After the announcement of winners, the hosts clarified that Froilan Canlas won the hurados’ vote.
