Domingo sang “Pagsubok” by Orient Pearl. Unfortunately,  punong hurado Billy Crawford signaled for the gong. According to Billy, Domingo’s voice was shake-y from the get go and he song choice was also a problem. Domingo said he was ok and it didn’t matter, he also said he was a bit tired because of rehearsals which affected his performance. Domingo is automatically disqualified.
