MANILA—A 13-year-old girl from Pangasinan joined Team Bamboo, acknowledging that she dreamed of picking the rock star as her coach before her blind audition on "The Voice Teens 2."

She was mainly praised for having a "magical" voice, and that she only needed to improve her diction going forward.
Bamboo noted a part of the performance before the song's chorus that he really liked, and he described her as an "emotional" and "powerful" singer that could help his team win this year.
Siggaoat did not hesitate to pick Bamboo as her coach, sharing afterward that she had dreamt of that moment.

MANILA – Isabela Vinzon has no regrets even if she failed to clinch the very first “The Voice Teens” title on Sunday night.
Vinzon, who is from Bamboo’s team, finished second, with Jona Soquite from Sarah Geronimo’s team winning the competition.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News after the show, Vinzon said all of them were already champions during the finals.
“But Jona, there’s something special about her and I think she deserves the title and coach Sarah, congratulations to her. Tinuruan niya po ng maayos si Jona,” she said.
While she did not win, Vinzon said she is still overwhelmed by the fact that she reached the Top 4.
“After the bashing, I focused on the positive feedbacks, that’s why hindi ko na po masyadong napapansin iyon. Hindi naman po masyadong hadlang ang mga bashers sa akin dahil mas marami pong nagmamahal at sumusuporta. Unexpected po na makakaabot po ako hanggang dito. I am so blessed,” she said.
Now that the competition is over, does she plan to follow the footsteps of her father and join showbiz too?
“Balak ko po sana pumasok sa acting at lawakan ko pa po ang kaya kong gawin sa showbiz. Gusto ko pong ituloy-tuloy ito,” she said.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Glinoga from Sharon Cuneta’s team, also agreed that Soquite deserved to win.
“Jona did a great job. I am so happy she won and I wish her the best in the future. I know God has a plan for each and every one of us so even though I didn’t win, I’m still pretty happy,” he said.
Like Vinzon, Glinoga is also open to venture into acting. The 17-year-old from California also said he would love to stay in the Philippines to explore more showbiz opportunities.
“Malalaman ko soon [kung ano ang mga puwede kong gawin]. We’ll see,” he said.
He also took the opportunity to thank Cuneta for all the mentoring that she did.
“Coach Sharon, even though I didn’t win, maraming salamat for all the support. Thank you for telling me to keep my feet on the ground. It feels like you’re a second mom to me. Thank you for caring for me like you’ve always done,” he said.
Glinoga finished in fourth place on “The Voice Teens.”

MANILA -- Sharon Cuneta is betting on Jeremy Glinoga to become the first winner from her team when he represents Team Sharon at the grand finals of “The Voice Teens” next week.
During Sunday’s live episode, Glinoga got a higher average score (99%) compared to his rival Christy Lagapa (90.59%), from the combined votes of the viewers and Cuneta's score.
Glinoga, a Filipino-American teenager who comes from a family who idolizes Cuneta, impressed viewers as he performed Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times.”
“You owned that stage tonight. I am so proud of you. Puro ballads ang ginagawa mo for us. When you said that you were gonna do this, sabi ko medyo this has kind of a stronger beat, a higher energy and I said it’s a big stage,” Cuneta told the teen singer.
“I was a little scared but you owned the stage tonight. You gave me everything I asked for. I am so proud of you. From the bottom of my heart, I believe you belong up there,” she added.
Lagapa, on the other hand, sang the "Evita" ballad “Don’t Cry For Me Argetina,” which was likewise praised by Cuneta because she still was able to deliver a good performance despite nursing an illness.
Glinoga will be competing against Isabela Vinzon from Team Bamboo; Jona Soquite from Team Sarah; and Mica Becerro from Team Lea.
