The public has spoken; Van will be occupying the final spot in the Academy’s official list of Final Six. After collecting 54.58 percent of the total text votes, the Heartthrob from Cebu has proven himself worthy of taking a shot at this season’s Grand Star Dreamer title.

During the 11th Gala Night, the lad from Cebu impressed the jurors with his rendition of Casting Crown’s Who I am. Juror Girlie Rodis couldn’t help but commend on how he has improved since she first saw him on stage. The judge was pretty much aware of how heavy the lad’s chest is due to accumulated hitches and she proudly stated that it didn’t show in his performance tonight.
