Malacanang congratulates Venus Raj

Malacanang on Tuesday congratulated Venus Raj for making it to the top 5.

In a text message to reporters, Presidential Communications Group Development Secretary Ricky Carandang said Raj’s success brought a “bright spot.”

“The success of Ms. Raj is a bright spot in an otherwise sad day for our country,” Carandang said.

Raj’s victory came a day after the deadly Quirino Grandstand bus hostage taking which left at least eight Hong Kong tourists killed.

Showtime is a pre-noontime variety show airing on ABS-CBN which premiered October 24, 2009, replacing the long-running Philippine game show, Pilipinas, Game KNB?. It currently airs worldwide through the The Filipino Channel. This show is successful and high-rated leading Vice Ganda, their unevictable judge, into great popularity.

The first season’s grand finals was aired on July 24, 2010, Saturday at the Ynares Center, Antipolo City. Showtime’s second season will premiere on July 26, 2010, Monday.

July 24, 2010 was Showtime’s first Grand Finals that was held at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City. Showtime brought back 38 of the former hurados(judges) to judge the 11 grand finalists. In total, 40 judges were assembled(including the unevictable judge Vice Ganda and longest-staying judge Jhong Hilario) to make the difficult decision of who will be Showtime’s First Grand Champion. At the end of the competition, the group XB Gensan won the grand prize of 1 million pesos and became Showtime’s First Grand Champion with a final average score of 9.875 pts. [1]

I read some comments about the Champion who is the XB Gensan. There are some favors and some are not about the winning of the group. In negative sides, they state that judges just made pitty the group? Hmmmm….why??? Can you state your opinion…..
