“WE MADE IT TO THE FINALE [US and Philippine flags],” he began. “Thank you so much to my Filipinos everywhere and in America who gave so much love and support. And of course, I want to say Maraming Salamat to my hometown, Utica, Upstate New York, Mohawk Valley, and everyone! Grabe kayo. One last vote next week for the finale. Please continue to pray for me.”
