Ang stage presence mo ay nangingibabaw so kahit may kaunting pagkakamali, madaling maipagtanggol kasi ang galing-galing mong magdala every time na nagpe-perform ka. Ginalingan mo kaya para sa akin ay congratulations in advance,&quot; Estrada said.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q0n7PwOo9r0" width="560"></iframe></figure><p>Grand finalist Froilan Canlas, meanwhile, gave a soulful rendition of the OPM classic &quot;Anak&quot; by Freddie Aguilar. </p><p>&quot;Talagang kinilabutan ako sa performance mo,&quot; judge Kyla told Canlas, who is a teacher. </p><p>&quot;Para sa akin, I think this is the best rendition so far ng &#x27;Anak&#x27; na kinanta ng lalaki. Sobrang creative and out of the box, ang ganda-ganda. &#x27;Yung sound mo is varied. Ang lawak ng musicality mo, &#x27;yung nuances mo at yung control.&quot; </p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BwxtuR4kYgw" width="560"></iframe></figure><p>Cover artist Sam Mangubat from Batangas wowed the audience and the judges with his rendition of &quot;Ikaw&quot; composed and recorded by &quot;Tawag&quot; judge Yeng Constantino.</p><p>&quot;Kapag naririnig ko ang boses mo, it&#x27;s very, very expressive.

A beautiful song that matches your beautiful voice,&quot; Karylle said.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vB9sqk-gYWU" width="560"></iframe></figure><p>Mary Gidget dela Llana of Laguna, who became emotional after her performance of &quot;Gaano Kadalas Ang Minsan?&quot; by Basil Valdez, received some tips from Constantino.</p><p>&quot;Siguro sa nerbiyos mo ay nag-scramble ang lyrics I think it&#x27;s something na matutunan natin along the way na even sa height ng emotion mo ay kailangan mong ma-compose ang sarili mo. Pero ang pinaka-importante sa akin na nagawa mo ngayong araw na ito ay &#x27;yung spirit mo na lumaban and for that (I&#x27;m very) happy,&quot; Constantino said.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uvb7RKKv9eU" width="560"></iframe></figure><p>Finally, Eumee Capili from Bulacan sang &quot;Bridge Over Troubled Water&quot; by Simon and Garfunkel.</p><p>&quot;Ang masasabi ko lang naman talaga kay Eumee ay simple lang: Eumee, malupit ka talaga, hanep ka talaga,&quot; head judge Rey Valera told her.</p><p>Canlas, who joined the competition to help his mother, is now part of TNT&#x27;s Top 5 after he received the highest total score of 98.9% from the combined text votes and judges scores.
