MANILA, Philippines – The Voice of the Philippines premiered the Battle rounds last Saturday, December 6, after weeks of blind auditions. As promised, the competition proved to be tough, as each contestant performed in front of the coaches in pairs.
After each battle, the coach who mentored the singers onstage will choose one person to move forward and one to be eliminated. Losing contestants per battle have the option of being “stolen” by another coach, thus staying in the competition.
If more than one coach expresses interest in stealing a singer, the singer chooses which team he or she would like to join. As of Sunday, December 21, Elmerjun Hilario, Suy Galvez, Jason Fernandez, Casper Blancaflor, Arnee Hidalgo, Shaira Cervancia, Patricia Gomez and Abbey Pineda have enjoyed the “steal” feature.
