It was one hell of a ride not only for the 16 Survivor Castaways but also for the thousands of Filipino (and also non-filipinos) fans who followed this one of a kind reality show everyday on GMA 7. Every episode is a mix of Triumph, Defeat, Happiness and Sorrow for every one. But for over 60 episodes, Survivor Philippines Palau had reach its end as the castaways are seived to 3 contenders: Amanda Van Cooll, Jef Gaitan and Justine Ferrer.
Last friday, the tension is felt all over studio 5 of GMA 7 when fans and relatives gathered to witness the live announcement of the Survivor Philippines Palau. Everybody are excitedat the same time nervous because it is really a close fight between the 3. But before the announcement, Paolo asked the final 3 if they have any regrets during their stay on the island of Palau and this is their answers:



After that Paolo counted the votes. After counting 6 votes, Justine and Amanda tied. The suspense caused pandemonium inside the studio as Justine and Amanda fans try to shout the name of their bets. Paolo reminds everyone that if the name written on the last Ballot is Jeff the jury will cast their vote again. This is crucial since the judgement of the jury could eventually shift because they might based them on more recent events. The people inside the studio became more ecstatic and evryone is shouting Justine and Amanda's names.
And this is the moment of truth. Paolo took a peek on the ballot. And whispered:
"Jef hindi mo pangalan ang nandito sa balota."
People become more restless as they try to out shout the rival fans. And the moment of truth, Paolo revealed the name written on the Ballot.
"At ang ikalawang Pinoy Sole Survivor... AMANDA!!!"
Everyone on the set screamed including the jury and most especially Amanda who approached Myka and Justine to hug them.
Fireworks began to shine on the stage as Amanda took her moment as the 2nd Pinoy Sole Survivor of Survivor Philippines. She received the ceremonial necklace from the season 1 Sole survivor JC Tiuseco and P3M check from GMA management and she is rejoined by the other castaways and her family to enjoy her shining glory.
While everybody are rejoicing, Paolo approaches the camera to deliver his closing spiel.
There you have it mga Kapuso. Maraming-maraming salamat sa inyong mga suporta, sa huling pagkakataon ngayon taon hanggang sa susunod, malalim na ang gabi!
Congratulations to Amanda, Paolo, the Castaways and the Survivor Philippines Staff and Crew for the success of the show. Hope to see Season 3 soon.
