POPCORN TIME LIVE BLOG/RECAP: On the March 29 episode of Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids, Macky Empuerto wins as the new Defending Champion ending the winning streak of Luzon’s Larenz Pableo. The other contenders, Juliane Palu-ay and Dexsel Plaza equally did impressive renditions of their contest pieces.

Macky Empuerto is the First Contender from San Juan, Manila

Macky Empuerto dreams to be a Music, Arts and PE (MAPE) teacher in the future. He regularly joins singing contests and won various competitions. For today, he sang “Anak ng Pasig,” with so much conviction. He set the standards for today’s sing off and the audience is hyped up. Anne Curtis and Jhong Sample are so amused with Macky’s singing gestures. Shortly after, Macky’s father sang beautifully to “Ikaw ang Pangarap.” The father and son definitely have serious singing skills.

Veggie Lover Juliane Palu-ay is the Second Contender from Iloilo

Juliane sang “Lupa Man ay Langit Rin” as the second contender from Visayas. When she is with her family, she loves to sing. In every birthday or family occasion she is invited to, her mom always lets her sing. She likes doing this because it makes people smile. Her dad is a nurse while her mom is an office worker. She would like to be a doctor someday and said that if she wins, she will give her cash prize to her parents to save up for her studies. She wants to help those in need. In relation to that, she says she eats vegetables so that she will not get sick.

Dexsel Plaza is the Third Contender from Bukidnon

Dexsel Plaza was all out as he sang (and growled a bit) to the slow rock hit “Help.” He joined TNT Kids to make his family happy. At home, he is a caring brother to his older sister who has a heart condition. Dexsel performs well academically. He tops the class and already has a collection of medals and certificates. His favorite song is “Dakilang Lahi” and “Sayang na Sayang.”
