Maricris Garcia bested 8 other grand contenders to win the third Pinoy Pop Superstar title! In fairness, mas maganda ang gown niya (i think it's from Pepsi Herrera) kaysa sa competition gown ni Anna Theresa Licaros sa Miss Universe. To the Bb. Pilipinas Organization: I will say this again, please stop importing gowns from Colombia for our binibinis. We have equally talented designers here in the Philippines na kung tutuusin, mas magaling pa kay Barraza and other Colombian designers. Hindi ba't our very own Monique Lhuiller is a very popular designer of some notable Hollywood stars? Ayan, napunta na naman ako sa Miss Universe e Pinoy Pop Superstar ang pinaguusapan natin hehehe. Anyway, deserving talaga si Maricris Garcia para sa titulo. She could be the next Zsa Zsa Zaturnah, este, Zsa Zsa Padilla! The remaining 8 Grand Contenders are: Bryan Termullo, Joyce Tañaña, Marvin Gagarin, Jennie Escalda (my favorite), Migule Naranjilla, Louie Abaigar, April delos Santos and Jae Buensuceso. Update: Watch the recap videos of the whole Grand Contenders night after the jump...
