MANILA — Comedienne Melai Cantiveros still can’t believe that she is the first-ever winner of the celebrity competition, “Your Face Sounds Familiar.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cantiveros impersonated Miley Cyrus during her final performance on Sunday night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She garnered 51.93% \u00a0of the total votes and was declared the grand winner among other finalists including Nyoy Volante, Jay R and Edgar Allan Guzman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Siguro dahil ang aking charity is sa simbahan, kaya thank you, Lord,” Cantiveros told reporters after the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Maybe it’s because the charity group that I’m supporting belongs to the Church. So, thank you, Lord.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Cantiveros won P2 million in the competition. Half of which will be given to \u00a0the Alay Kapwa Desk of the Social Action Center of the Dioceese of Marbel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She then thanked the fans who supported her through text votes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sa mga sumporta, sa mga text-text, thank you very much,” she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

(To those who supported me, those who texted, thank you very much.)<\/span><\/p>\n

It was not the first time that Cantiveros won in a competition that is judged through text votes. She also won the reality TV show “Pinoy Big Brother” through the viewers’ text votes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
