For his performance, John sang Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid’s version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Jed Madela recognized John from previous auditions he’s judged in. He said he had the vocal clarity and the heart whenever he performs.
Second Contender, Eunica Parcasio: Next was Eunica Parcasio from Tarlac. This nine-year-old is a fan of riding bikes apart from, of course, singing.

For her performance, Eunica sang Yeng Constantino’s hit, “Ikaw.”
Head judge Ogie Alcasid said Eunica sang with much heart. She loved how she sang a song written by Yeng Constantino saying Yeng is one of Philippines’ greatest songwriters.
Third Contender, John Vincent Olila: Ten-year-old John Vincent Olila from Cebu was the last contender of the day. John belongs to a very good community who help each other. He joins TNT for every neighbor who has extended help to him and his family singing “These Dreams” by Heart.
Judge K Brosas said John had an interesting song choice and was surprised to hear John sing a different version of it. K Brosas noticed John was holding back a bit and had more to offer. Judge Karylle liked John’s performance but said he had to put more emotion and groove to the song.
