There’s a new champion at ABS-CBN’s “Tawag ng Tanghalan” on “It’s Showtime.” Chaddie Ruaza of Metro Manila lost the title on Monday, Sept. 26, to balut vendor Casiana Illescas. Meanwhile, fans of Kim Chiu were delighted to see their favorite celeb return to Showtime as co-host.
Viewers of the noontime show remember Cas from Stars on 45, another Showtime segment that ran from 2013 to 2015. Click here to watch Casiana Illescas, 50, sing I’ll Never Love This Way Again by Dionne Warwick. To see how Cas looked and sounded like three years ago on Stars on 45, click here.
Chaddie Ruaza had a good time on the show. The last contender she was able to defeat was Ricky Deloviar. Fans held a Twitter party for their chinita idol Kim Chiu, a Showtime co-host on Monday. The young actress was teased a lot for her Bench “outfit of the day” (OOTD) but she was a good sport, saying she’s got the looks of flight attendants and tennis players pegged. Below are some of the posts from the Twitterverse.
