In the first round, the five Clashers had to perform a medley of two songs. Nef performed Donny Hathaway’s A Song for You and Celine Dion’s It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.
The judges commented the Caviteno singer’s performance was “a very good fight.”
Jeremiah was next.

Jennifer then performed a birit version of Manny Pacquiao’s Para Sa ‘Yo Ang Laban na ‘To and Apl de Ap’s Bebot.
The judges praised the brave song choice, and commended her for always surpassing her previous performances.
Antonette showcased her ability to reach the high notes by singing Run to You by Whitney Houston and Brave by Sara Bareilles.
The judges said she was in her element, and added that they were proud of you.
Thea performed last for this round.
She gave life to two classic songs, Shirley Bassey’s The Greatest Performance of My Life and Tina Turner’s River Deep, Mountain High.
The judges said she showcased her best performance so far, and that it gave them chills.
In the end, the judges picked two singers who advanced to the grand finals.
They picked Thea and Jeremiah, and the two headed to the ultimate Matira ang Matibay.
Thea performed Aretha Franklin’s You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman, then Jeremiah sang Fantasia’s I Believe.
