<p>Teddy Corpuz, frontman of the OPM band Rocksteddy, opened up about his experience as a judge for the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/itsshowtime"><em><strong>It’s Showtime</strong></em></a> Kalokalike segment.</p><p>In an exclusive interview, Teddy shared that choosing which contestants would advance to the next round wasn’t easy.</p><p>“Para maging isang hurado sa Kalokalike, medyo mahirap siya na task kasi you have to really be specific,” Teddy told <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com"><strong>PUSH</strong></a>.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCiyFAtz81m/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A1668357.2000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A258928.5%2C%22le%22%3A258938.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“We have to be very very specific when it comes to ito ba kung ka-look-a-like ba ito or ano. Mahirap kasi magkakaiba kami ng opinions ng ibang mga hurado,” he added.</p><p>Teddy, along with fellow host and rockstar Jugs Jugueta, is part of the judging panel for the fourth season of the popular segment. Joining them are actresses Gladys Reyes and Rufa Mae Quinto, former Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados, and actor Richard Yap. </p><p>The panel selected their top 30 from 70 daily winners who will advance to the grand finals.</p><p>Teddy revealed that sometimes the judges don’t discuss their individual scores for contestants beforehand. </p><p>“Minsan hindi na kami nag uusap usap kung sino yung hurado. Bahala na lang iyong scores namin ang magdictate kung sinong mananalo. Kami ni Jugs di namin alam kung sinong manalo for us,” he shared.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCbIXE_TRam/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A1669319.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A258928.5%2C%22le%22%3A258938.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Although Teddy admitted the difficulty of their task, he still commended all the contestants who joined Kalokalike.</p><p>“Medyo mahirap siya pero it’s an honor also,” he said. “Hindi lang Kalokalike yung mga contestants. Magagaling din silang mga artists and performers. Ayon yung nakakabilib sa kanila.”</p><p>Teddy expressed that he and the other judges appreciate how they were able to portray the celebrities and personalities they are impersonating and how seriously they take on their roles.</p><p>“Ang gagaling ng boses. Ang gagaling kumanta. Yung iba kahit hindi sila ganoon kagaling kumanta o magaling sa talent pero in their mind silang sila yung pinopotray nila,” he said.</p><div><br/></div><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1859478943096877435&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2024-11-22T01%3A58%3A57.551233%3A4706bf61-1a95-4bbe-82e5-4714e9004938%26action%3Dedit&amp;sessionId=9d90ba4b64b3cd8bd3152292507f2068d07ebfb9&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px" style="position:static;visibility:visible;width:550px;height:672px;display:block;flex-grow:1" data-tweet-id="1859478943096877435"></iframe></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8"></script><p>“Kabisado nila kung saan yung gig nito, kung anong pangalan ng sawa nito, ng mga anak nila.
