Young businessman Kiko Rustia was blindsided by two of his former tribemates in Naak that led to his ouster from Survivor Philippines. Kiko became the 9th person to be voted out and the second Jury Member. (Niña Otiz was forced to leave the game because of an injury.)
Going into the Tribal Council, Kiko expected that all six former Naak tribemates—including him—would write down the name of waiter Marlon Carmen to be the next Survivor castoff. But Kiko got the shock of his life when two of his former tribemates, driver Cris Cartagenas and model Kaye Alipio, turned their backs against him and voted along with the three former Jarakay members: Marlon, taekwondo instructor Veronica Domingo, and product officer Charisse Yacapin.
Kiko had five votes while Marlon had four.
Veronica was safe from the Tribal Council after winning the Immunity Challenge, an endurance test that lasted four hours.
Before leaving the Tribal Council area, Survivor Philippines host Paolo Bediones asked Kiko to open a small treasure box that has been on Paolo's side since the first Tribal Council. Inside the box is a black pearl that Kiko can give to one of the remaining castaways. The black pearl will serve as a curse to whoever holding it, and the holder will automatically get an extra vote in the next Tribal Council.
Kiko gave the black pearl to former Naak tribemate Rob Sy, a sales officer, believing that Rob betrayed him. Rob, on the other hand, could only look at Kiko with shock and surprise.
In his exit interview, Kiko said that what happened was "God's will." He just hopes that his ouster will be "for the better."
Kiko also realized that two of his former tribemates betrayed him, although he did not know who. But he said that the two probably had enough reason for voting him out.
Kiko has now joined gym instructor Jace Flores as Jury Members. The Jury will decide who will win the three-million cash prize and title of the first-ever Pinoy Sole Survivor.
