Philippines FINALE: LIVE WATCH ALONG!

Just to comment on Mama Pao's performance. I think alot were disappointed, especially since he is a regular host and entertainer in our afternoon show "Eat Bulaga" where not only does he do well in hosting and performing, but from time to time- actually go in drag and give us an crowd-pleasing show everytime.

Here's the translation of the final lip sync song! Chorus: Ako'y isang sirena Kahit ano'ng sabihin nila, ako ay ubod ng ganda (I am a mermaid. I don't care whatever they say, I am bathing in beauty) Ako'y isang sirena Kahit ano'ng gawin nila, bandera ko'y 'di tutumba (I am a mermaid. Whatever they want to do, my flag will never waver) Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid Naglalakihang mga braso, sa 'ki'y dumidikdik (I dive down that drum of water as those bulking arms try to drown me) Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid Sa patagalan ng paghinga, sa 'kin kayo ay bibilib (I dive down that drum of water and they'll be impressed with how long I can endure and hold my breath) Rap Verse Simula pa nang bata pa ako Halata mo na kapag naglalaro (Ever since I was a little kid, it was obvious whenever we'd play around) Kaya parang lahat ay nalilito Magaling sa Chinese garter at piko (Everyone got so confused since I was great at Chinese Garter and hopscotch) Mga labi ko'y pulang-pula Sa bubble gum na sinapa (My lips are ruby red from the bubble gum that I glossed it with) Palakad-lakad sa harapan ng salamin Sinasabi sa sarili, "Ano'ng panama nila?" (Prancing around the mirror saying to my self "what will they say this time?") Habang kumekembot ang bewang Mga hikaw na gumegewang (While I shake my hips, and my earrings dangle) Gamit ang pulbos na binili kay Aling Bebang Upang matakpan ang mga pasa sa mukha (Using the powder I bought from the store to cover up all the bruises on my face) Na galing sa aking ama na tila 'di natutuwa Sa t'wing ako'y nasisilayan, laging nalalatayan (that my dad gave me who was never happy whenever he saw me this way) Sa paglipas ng panahon ay 'di ko namamalayan Na imbes na tumigas ay tila lalong lumambot Ang puso kong mapagmahal, parang pilik-matang kulot (Time passed and I barely noticed that instead of manning up, I turned softer as my heart grew to love more and embrace that I am gay)
