Following the news of Pepe Herrera&#x27;s decision to temporarily take a break to prioritize his mental well-being, &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/your-face-sounds-familiar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Your Face Sounds Familiar</a>&quot; surprised fans by bringing in a guest celebrity performer to fill in for a one-time act.Everyone was stunned when &quot;Tawag Ng Tanghalan All-Star Grand Resbak&quot; champion Marko Rudio emerged from the ‘iconator,’ transformed as the legendary King of Philippine Novelty Songs, Yoyoy Villame. He brought the house down with his performance of “Magellan,” earning him enthusiastic praise from the judges, celebrity performers, and even hosts Jhong Hilario and Vhong Navarro for how perfectly he captured not just the look and singing but even the icon&#x27;s speaking voice as well. The celeb performers joked that maybe it’s for the best Marko wasn’t part of the official “YFSF” lineup, otherwise, they’d be shaking every week trying to keep up with him. Sharon Cuneta, who grew up seeing Yoyoy a lot, was so impressed that she said Marko could’ve easily been the grand winner of the season if he had joined.The other judges also got in on the fun, joking that if Marko suddenly decided to join mid-season, he might even catch up to Rufa Mae Quinto’s scores. But jokes aside, Ogie Alcasid, Sharon, and guest judges Klarisse de Guzman and Nyoy Volante were genuinely impressed by his vocals and overall performance.And in the spirit of fun, since his song had a touch of Philippine history, Marko ended up going head-to-head with Rufa Mae in a mini history trivia game! Do not miss an episode of “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/your-face-sounds-familiar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Your Face Sounds Familiar</a>” every weekend night, 7:15PM on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant</a>.
