Lyca Gairanod, one of Team Sarah's two bets in the "Final Showdown" of the hit talent search, clinched the title after getting the highest percentage of public votes.
Teammate Darren Espanto finished 1st-runner up, while Team Bamboo's Juan Karlos Labajo and Team Lea's Darlene Vibrares and finished as runner-ups of the competition.
During the performance night on Saturday, Gairanod impressed the coaches with her performance of the Regine Velasquez classic, "Narito Ako."
"You are our superstar. Ipinakita mo ang iyong...napakalaki ng potensyal mong bata ka eh, 'yung galing mo sa pagkanta, 'yung galing mo sa pagkonekta sa meaning ng kinakanta mo, 'yung kwento ng awitin na 'yun," her coach Sarah Geronimo said.
Gainarod also sang Carly Rae Jepsen's hit "Call Me Maybe"
The nine-year-old has been likened to screen veteran Nora Aunor, herself a singing champion, because of her humble background and talent.
In Tanza, she helped her mother, Maria Nessel, scavenge junk to sell. She would also perform for her neighbors for extra cash. With her father's earnings as a fisherman, along with they got from scavenging, was enough to send her to school.
Sunday's results show was a star-studded affair, with performances from several guests, including Martin Nievera, Lani Misalucha, Gary Valenciano, and iconic OPM band Aegis.
This was on top of special numbers from coaches Geronimo, Bamboo Manalac, and Lea Salonga.
As the "Final Showdown" aired on Sunday, viewers took to Twitter to air their reactions, making several hashtags related to "The Voice Kids" trend locally and worldwide on the micro-blogging site.
The official hashtag #TheVoiceKidsChampions was quickly among the top local trends, along with other terms and phrases such as #TVKDarrenForTheChampion and #WowAngGwapoNiLuis.
The strong buzz surrounding the "The Voice Kids" online -- it consistently topped trending topics during its weekend telecasts -- was also reflected in its viewership over the last two months since its May premiere.
In June, "The Voice Kids" averaged a national TV rating of 35.6%, according to multi-national market research group Kantar Media, making it the No. 1 program in the Philippines for the month. Last June 15, it registed an audience share of 37.5%, the season's highest.
ABS-CBN's "The Voice Kids" is one of over 50 international versions of the talent search, including the format for adults.
The second season of "The Voice of the Philippines," the Kapamilya network's adults edition, is expected to premiere later this year.

Rudely Coming In and Out
Image courtesy of wwwbadlawyernyc.blogspot.com
Discourteous Actress (DA) lives in a village where her privacy is assured, and where villagers live unmindful of her presence. The villagers treat DA like an ordinary neighbor, and they mind their own business.
During a typical day in the village, a help left the gate open while she was attending to a delivery. Suddenly, a huge dog came in the garage. A few seconds later, a car stopped in front of the said house, and DA stepped out. DA furiously entered the house and yelled at the help, “Ate! Sara mo yung gate!” This gate led to the wash area of the house.
Just as quickly as she unceremoniously entered, she marched out of the property without any apology or thank you. The help and the delivery boys were left stunned. They were still too shocked at the behavior of DA. Instead of praising her looks, the boys felt her rudeness, “Napakasungit!”
While the intentions of DA were perhaps done in good faith, the witnesses felt she was ill mannered and disrespectful in coming in and out of a private property. DA could use a few more tips in improving her manners, which could very well result in something positive for her expressed desire to change her image. Effective changes should come from within.
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use. -Emily Post

The Gullible Host
Image courtesy of www.cafepress.com
Highly Visible Figure (HV) may have taken Celebrity Interviewer (CI) and her crew for a ride. After an interview with his infamous client, HV invited CI to lunch in a restaurant. Based on his media appearances, HV can be very convincing as he can talk his heart out. As HV was very persistent, CI and her crew obliged and went with him. Lunch with a controversial personality, such as HV, possesses the potential of getting the scoop ahead of other reporters. CI, like any other journalist, would not pass on this opportunity.
At the onset, HV told CI that the restaurant was noted for a delicious dish and that CI should order that item. CI ordered that dish, only to be told that the restaurant does not serve it at all. Then, CI and HV merely laughed at the mistake. CI ordered as much for her crew under the notion that HV will foot the bill. HV invited them, after all.
As they ate heartily, HV excused himself, as he wanted to smoke. CI and her crew continued to savor the dishes. Minutes passed and HV had not returned. Finally, CI and her crew realized that HV already left and did not pay the bill. All that CI and her crew could do was take the incident with a grain of salt and laugh off that April fool’s day can happen any time.
The question is whether HV intended to treat CI and her crew, or perhaps, footing the bill was merely a case of misunderstanding. The next time they see each other, will HV be apologetic, or will CI call the attention of HV to the alleged incident? During these times, HV needs a positive image from media for himself and his clients, who are mostly on the verge of the negative side of events.
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. Stephen Covey
