MANILA, Philippines - After grueling rounds of auditions, Filipina group 4th Impact (formerly known as 4th Power) made it as one of the top 12 finalists of "The X Factor UK."

Groups mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini chose the all-Pinay group to be part of her final three during the show's Saturday live episode (Sunday Manila time).

4th Impact, composed of sisters Mylene, Celina, Irene and Almira Cercado, will be joined by Alien Uncovered and Reggie n Bollie in the Groups category.

In "The X Factor UK," the contestants are divided into four categories, which will be mentored by a specific judge: Boys (mentored by Nick Grimshaw), Girls (mentored by Rita Ora), Groups (mentored by Fernandez-Versini) and Over 25s (mentored by Simon Cowell). The mentor will choose three acts from his category who will compete during the live performance shows.

The Pinay group made waves on social media when they wowed the show's judges with their performance of "Bang Bang" for the audition.
