MANILA, Philippines - Protégé’s first elimination night turned out to be the most emotional episode so far as the five celebrity mentors were given the task to choose whom to save among their respective protégés.
The elimination night was full of suspense as the bottom two protégés of each mentor from the same region battled it out onstage for the Top 15.
The five protégés who got the boot were Apple Vega of Dipolog, Mitch Capili (Bohol), Mykel Ong (Batangas), Glenn Roy (Tarlac) and Kelly (Pasig).
Meanwhile, the five protégés who survived the elimination and were saved by their mentors were Ruru Madrid, Zandra Summer, Arny Ross, Japs de Luna and Vien Allen King.
This week, the Top 15 will move on to the next round of competition as they will be featured in five short films with guest Maricel Soriano. Under the helm of Brillante Mendoza and written by Floy Quintos, the films will be aired on GMA 7’s Protégé tonight after iBilib.
The Top 15 are definitely hard at work on their performances for the short films, hoping to wow the judges and rustle up support from the public to avoid getting the cut from the next round of elimination.
