well,this article seems anonymous writer,thanks for conveying this true story what went behind  close door for the lost of charice, for sure there was a manipulation fr the tv network producer or director? or whoever that person involved. he or she is bad example to contestants who was denied of the true talent coz of his wrong evil doings or actions. even charice already joined other singing contests, she can still join bigger contests as she desires, maybe that person knew that charice won in the "STARQUEST BULILIT" also on abs-cbn as this LBS  singing contest. well,i wasnt there, so i just keep on watching the YT videos on what happened why charice lose on LBS when charice beat those honors,until she got into the finals,and shes the only one there who has the great voice? up to this point i'm really haven't accepted that fact that she lost,all in wonderment, even tho her career is better than those winner and 2nd runner up. coz when there's cheating involved its hard to accept the defeat,vs the truth. maybe that person/s went ahead and kept on text voting for sam concepcion for charice to lose-the only way he could beat the judges who refused to obey the wished or manipulation of changing their scores of voting for charice. and 1 text vote will make charice lose,and that was how that things went on behind that closed door. coz i saw and can still see as of now writing this  the face of charice when she was called 3rd runner up,that face i could forget,i wanted to cry and felt that pain deep w/n her, and when she told her momR that she might have lost due to text voting,that was shared to them already before the announcement who lose and won! maybe to prepare charice that she didnt win. but the tv viewers watching that time, can't believe that she really lost, coz i know up to now, people still believe charice has the  winning voice,the true voice indeed,and anybody who will try to access those contestants will find out that charice deserved to be the champion. its hard for me to move on to accept her loss, knowing the fact that she got that voice , coz i knew something in that LBS weird thing was going on, inside job,manipulations of the tv network's LBS production. that's why we were all in wonderment why she loss this contest! i remember 1 american interviewer of charice said, "u were robbed!" (when cha told the interviewer that she joined the LBS  singing contest and lost).  sure it was daylight robbery, she was robbed of that  one million pesos grand prize, she was robbed of that title that she was dreaming of to win for her singing career,she was robbed of that prestige title champion of the tv show LBS. some chasters might have already move on coz of her getting to stardom, but this is just my take on this article, coz my heart still stubbed on her loss,tho cha is doing so well now. GOD BLESS to  charice and momR and bro.carl!
