Episode 61: Rob's Redemption

Day 38 at Chalam.

Paolo describes the last Immunity Challenge that would determine who would be the Final 2 castaways.

Charisse, Rob and JC must hold on as long as they can in an elevated - slide - like platform - with a drum filled with water on top, that would change into a more uncomfortable angle every 15 minutes, as the water flows making the slide more slippery.

Before the challenge, Paolo notices Cha being emotional.

"I want it so badly," Charisse says as her tears burst out. Paolo consoles her by saying, "Akala ng mga kamag-anak mo hindi ka tatagal, you made it to the final 3. Wala kang dapat patunayan!"

And the challenge went on. The blazing sun, the body weight, the slippery elevation and the pain test the remaining strength of the remaining three.

Cha tried to hold on as long as she could, but after 47 minutes, she already declared she's letting go. The pain taking its toll on her. And she did. Charisse cried for a couple of minutes. Rob tells her, "I love you Cha..." Eventually, Charisse cheers up and recalls how happy she was about their breakfast.

It's now between Rob and JC. JC appeared more uncomfortable - shifting positions, grips and being more in motion compared to Rob. He even slipped a couple of times, adding more pressure to his already painful arms, hand and armpits.

Before the entire hour, JC already declares he's letting go, after reaching out to Rob's hand. And when he did, Rob lingered on for a few moments.

"Noong bumitaw si JC... Hooray!" Rob relishes.

The three hugged it out as Paolo declares that Rob would determine who he would want to be with at the final 2.

JC was glad that he was able to fulfill his promise to Charisse to be at the top 3 at the same time that he is proud that Rob finally got his wish of winning an IC to his own credit.

As they walk back to the camp, the three, especially Charisse was ecstatic. They run and rushed to the beach towards "The best sunset ever", says Rob adding that it was the best swim, the best moment they had.

Charisse shouts and chants to herself "Survivor ako!" a couple of times. "Akala nyo 3 days lang ako, umabot ako sa 38 days!"

That night Charisse talks to JC that she felt vindicated that he voted off Kiko instead of Jace, since she reached the final 3.

Both JC and Charisse were happy that at the end, they are with the people that they truly trusted. That their alliance to one another got them this far.

For Rob, "The best ever prize is not the 3 million but it's you guys, all 18 of you, lalo na yung natira. Bonus na lang ang pera diba. Sinong mag-aakala na ang (butas) na brief na 'to ay magtatagal ng 38 days at aabot pa ng 39 days bukas"

At the Tribal Council

Rob's decision would determine who he would be with at the final 2. Whoever he writes down, is the next to exit Chalam.

Who would Rob vote off? Is it going to be his best buddy and now greatest rival and threat - JC or Charisse - the girl with the swing vote - the last girl standing who possesses the real curse.

Survivor Philippines:’ Castaways down to 3

Who would be the first Pinoy sole “Survivor"? Anna Charisse Yacapin? John Carlo “JC" Tuiseco? Robert Vincent “Rob" Sy?

This after the Tribal Council booted out Friday company driver Crisanto “Cris" Cartegenas in the elimination round.

Cris received three votes, and JC got one vote, courtesy of Cris who considered JC the most competitive among the remaining castaways.

JC earlier won the immunity challenge. He opted to choose the brand new car as a reward instead of the “necklace" that would save him from elimination.

JC gave the necklace to Rob.

During the open forum of the tribal council, Cris took a dig at Rob who he described as so dependent on JC on the island.

However, Rob explained that he managed to survive the game because of that strategy. He added that JC is kind and helpful and trusted him.

In his exit interview, Cris said: “Sa mga bagay- bagay na nakita nyo yun talaga ang pinagbasehan ko para tumagal sa game… kung ano man ang nakita nyo sa akin ipagpaumanhin n’yo sa akin…pasalamat pa rin ako sa Taas na nakasali pa rin ako rito."

Survivor host Paolo Bediones said the winner in the next reward challenge will be given the right to pick a contender in the final two.

Episode 60: And the Last 3 Standing Are: Rob, Charisse and JC

JC, Charisse and Rob are the final 3 as Cris "gracefully" exits.

Cris was shocked that the reward for that particular IC was a car. Rob admits that JC is more deserving and more "pursigido" to win the challenge. Charisse, on the other hand thought she would miraculously win the challenge after being able to keep up with the guys - climbing the wall and eventually getting six blocks.

Cris is still at it with his "petiks-petiks ranting" against Rob and admitted he refused Rob's handshake.

At the camp, Rob and Cris talks about their differences in strategies..

Rob says "Kahit kailan hindi ko sinulat ang pangalan mo (sa TC) and in fact, ikaw pa nga ang nagsulat ng pangalan ko.. Kanya-kanyang istratehiya talaga.."

"Pwede ka pa ring maging mayor," retorts Cris.

"Pare, wag na nating sayangin ang 36, 37 days nating magkakasama-sama para mag-away... "says Rob. While Cris quote of the day was, "Pero paglabas natin ng island, hindi pa rin tayo magka-level..."

At the Tribal Council

Paolo asks Cris what he feels after Zita's exit. Cris says that he misses Nanay Zita and life is more difficult. While JC says that he's already doing the chores - cooking rice and looking for halaan, which he never did while Zita was around. He also learned who to trust and look on the good side of people. Charisse says that even after the show, she believes that they could all be friends because of the bonding that they had, 24/7.

Rob then says that he was just "tumatanaw ng utang na loob" with JC that's why they are inseparable and he also believes that though he didn't really won any Immunity Challenge, he remains at the camp because "maganda ang pakikitungo ko sa mga tao, hindi lang sa isa.."

About the IC. Cris says that he knows that without the Immunity Necklace, he is the next to go. Rob is thankful to Cris for giving him clues in the sand pit. Cris says that even if he knows that Rob will vote him out, he gave him the hint just to prove that he could be trusted. "Dapat magtiwala siya sa sarili nya, hindi yung umaasa siya sa iba..." Cris also never hoped that JC would give him the necklace.

JC meanwhile is confident that he won't be voted off because of his trust with Rob and Cha; that's why he picked the car over the necklace.

Rob defends his status on the island and his gift from JC by insisting that he didn't ask for the necklace. "Iba yung hiningi kaysa sa binigay... " (Referring to Cris, asking JC to give him the last IC.) Rob says that since day 1, he has already been trustworthy and he was able to manage himself. Rob attributes his stay in the island with his strategy and he hopes that the jury would see that... PB also asked Rob about the Kiko - black pearl incident.

The votes

Charisse on voting off Cris, "Sa IC kanina kung nanalo ka, iba siguro magiging desisyon ko ngayon..."

Cris on voting off JC "Sobrang galing nya, malakas siya kaya siya ang iboboto ko..."

JC on voting off Cris "Nawala na yung tiwala ko sayo nung binoto mo si Kiko..."

Cris is now the 7th member of the Jury and his first stop: THE SP FANS PARTY!

"Sa mga bagay-bagay na nakita nyo yun ang naging basehan ko sa game. Pagpasensyahan nyo na ako. Nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa taas dahil nakasali ako rito..."

Episode 59: Rob rides to safety via JC's new car

JC will get to drive his brand new car... Rob rides to safety while Cris rubs off with Rob's petiks strategy...

Survivor Philippines viewer ka ba? Sino ang nanalo ng Immunity Challenge:

(a) Rob
(b) JC
(c) Cris
Itext na ang sagot sa 4627.

Kumusta naman ang editing? I am one of those rooting for the underdog Cha, and on the commercial break before the show resumed on the challenge and winner declared there is this text promo that disqualified our excitement. Naman!

JC deserves the prize. He's all over the challenges. He's giving it all. Yet for a deficient reason that he don't do chores, people keeps off from supporting him. Yet, since there are far more needy of the prize than him, people were blindsided. He has what it takes to win. Give him a shot. It is still anybody's game.

Survivors Pasok: Ito ay sukatan ng lakas, tapang at talino. Paolo described the Immunity Challenge as the "Pinakamalaking Pagsubok in 37 Days," called it Mega Challenge. The challenge, which combined some of the previous games, have 7 stations.

(1) It starts by pushing the giant wooden ball hundreds of meters to reach a mat.
(2) Then the player needs to run into a post, roll himself to cover with clothe (arms up).
(3) And he needs to roll out to uncover and ran into the table for some palatable dish. He needs to consume a scorpion, chameleon, millipede and lizard, yes BUTIKI!
(4) After the meal, he needs to run some meters and climb a wall.
(5) Jump into a cargo net and find his way out into a sand pit.
(6) The player needs to dig and find seven blocks of same color to complete the Thai weekday symbols orderly. In case of confusion or wrong attempt, he can run into the cheat table and return back to resolve the puzzle.
(7) When he's done, he should raise his flag and win.

It was a close battle between Cris and JC until the wall climbing. Cris came first from the giant ball but JC took the lead from the cargo net. They went head to head during the sandpit battle. Charisse, understandably came last in pushing the heavy giant ball, but did fought a good battle. She showed determination and will to win. We saw how hungry she consumed all the finger-lickin' goodies in the table. Galing! It was a sign of relief when she was able to reach the sandpit and continue the race. Yet she struggled in finding her blocks.

Who will win the car in Survivor Philippines?

Only four castaways remain in Survivor Philippines and one of them will receive a brand new car.

In the next Immunity Challenge, the winning Castaway will be given the chance to choose between getting a car prize or claiming the Immunity necklace.

Whichever item he does not pick will be given to another tribe member of his choice.

The remaining members of Chalam Tribe Charisse Yacapin, JC Tiuseco, Rob Sy and Cris Cartagenas all stand a chance to win either of the two prized rewards. But one of them also becomes vulnerable to the infamous and controversial "Survivor Car Curse."

Giving away a car prize during the last few days in the island has become a part of Survivor tradition. And throughout the different seasons of Survivor, almost all of the winners of the car prize end up losing the game.

Whether the car winners lost because of a stroke of bad luck or a bad strategy remains to be seen. But previous Castaways seemed to rule out coincidence since the "Survivor Car Curse" strikes almost without fail. Because of this, most castaways would use the car prize as an opportunity to eliminate another contender.

Will the curse continue in Survivor Philippines?

Or will the car finally become a good luck charm that would lead one to become the first Pinoy Sole Survivor?

All answers will be revealed in the final episodes of Survivor Philippines airing weeknights after LaLola on GMA-7. Watch for the explosive ending of the reality show on December 12, 2008.

Episode 58: The Duo Wins the Reward-o!

Rob wins the RC, gets JC to the jacuzzi... lol

And again, it seems that the lady luck is on the side of our dynamic duo, JC and Rob.

For the reward challenge, the four castaways must utilize the skills they learned at the camp life. For the first obstacle course, they must cross an improvised bridge - using a pair of customized stools to serve as their steps. (mahirap i-describe to ha! ;P)

Once they crossed the bridge, the see - saw construction is up next - where the castaways must first fire up a bucket filled with wood and gusot, then pour water on another holed-up bucket on the other end.

The first castaway whose fire - bucket end of the see - saw reaches the nitsa or pulbura - filled bucket, and it fires up, wins the reward challenge and his reward - massage, spa and fine dining at Krab, Island.

JC as usual is leading the pack. He first crosses the bridge and gets to the next stage first. But it was a neck and neck battle among the four, as they found it challenging to lit - up the nitsa.

Eventually, Rob wins his second reward challenge and without double thoughts, picks his best ally JC to join him because of his "Malaking pagkakautang..."

Charisse submits to Rob's decision by saying it's obvious who Rob would pick or who JC would pick... "It has no impact on my end..."

As for JC, he's ever grateful to Rob for picking him, "Sobrang kailangan ang reward na 'to dahil kailangan ng lakas para sa gagawin sa Immunity Challenge bukas..." Although JC initially thought that Rob would pick Charisse, since the lone girl has not won any reward yet.

BRomantic

So what was the reward to Rob and JC... First they had a full - fine dining dinner, (may ganun?) which Rob describes as "Wow, it was so romantic. Gusto ko na ngang gawing babae si JC eh, kaya lang hindi pwede eh, basketbolista na, lalaki pa...."(Dapat sinabi mo, lalaki na, basketbolista pa... joke!)

Rob and JC even had a hard time eating since they are no longer accustomed to using "pa-knife - knife and pa-fork, fork..." and they even had five or six servings of food - mostly viand, veggies.

At the Vogue resort and spa... Rob and JC had some foot scrub and a full body - soft massage. Nakatulog na si JC sa sarap. And the two indeed shared a jacuzzi. lol (tama lang ung teaser line ko... )

"Sobrang saya ko, sobrang thankful ako kay rob, sobrang mahilig ako sa spa... sobrang thankful ako kay Lord, sobrang important..." (Sobra ka na JC ha..)

And the two buddies slept (as in natulog) at Alis hotel...

Cha-Crisse

Cris was practically yapping against Rob while the duo is having the time of their lives. Saying how ampaw he is, how pa-petik-petik and kalmado he is all throughout the game. Rob is practically trying to convince Charisse to vote against Rob.

"Sinasabi nya utak ginamit nya, kung ano ang nilaki ng utak nya, yun din ang pagka-ampaw nya..."

Charisse appears convinced saying, "I bet matutuwa ang jury kapag natanggal si Rob".

But our last lady is also aware that she has a very small chance winning the immunity challenge saying, "Ang liit - liit ng chance. Hindi mo naman alam kung sino ang dadalhin nya sa final 2 diba..."

As for Charisse' final say about Nanay Zita...

"Even if Survivor is not a charity game, many times nafi-feel mo na yung less fortunate sana ang nakakuha ng prize money because they needed it more. But at the end of the day, it is still a competition. Lahat naman tayo dito, pantay - pantay..." (nicely said Cha...)

Bukas

Paolo says... Mula day 1 - day 37, ito na ang pinakaimportanteng reward... Hot Wheels!

Episode 57: The Shock of Our Lives: We Love You Nanay Zita

Tatlumpo't limang araw, ika'y nagtagal
nagsikap , nagtiis; para sa minamahal
hindi inalintana, ang buhay sa isla
pagsaing at paglaba, ginawa ding kusa

hindi lamang ikaw nay ang nanghihinayang

mga dotcomers pati, sadyang nag-aabang

labis din ang lungkot, ang aming nadarama

ang iyong paglisan, tila di yata tama

di mo man nakamit, nakatayang yaman
para sa amin nay, panalo pa rin naman!
iyiong pinaalala, halaga ng pamilya
pagsasamang tapat, sa hirap at ginhawa

nay ika'y humayo, siya naming ilaw
inspirasyong tunay, puso nami'y sinaklaw
idolo kong tiyak, sunod sa 'king ina
bukal mong puso, nay ika'y pinagpala!

_____________________________________

Betrayal... who gets the shock of her life? It's Zita and the whole nation. Instead of a recap, let me put my two cents in.

So last night indeed was another unexpected and heartbreaking turn of events. Zita, the quintessential mother, tagged as "Nanay ng Bayan" got voted off from the island. And the culprits of the "betrayal" are JC, Charisse and Rob. Cris voted against Rob while Zita voted against JC.

In all honesty, I was fixated last night on JC, thinking that he would get voted off - simply because, when it comes to the issue of the biggest betrayal, Cris could've betrayed against JC. Because JC sacrificed or gave way for the Immunity Challenge so Cris would be off the hook and the black pearl votes would be nulled. So, if Cris voted against JC, that would've been a bigger betrayal. Besides, JC had a longer exposure and interview last night, so I honestly thought it was him. Not to mention, on the back of my mind, I also wanted JC to be voted off just to get rid of the damn spoiler about him being the eventual sole survivor.

And so, never did it cross my mind last night while I was watching that Zita would be voted off - and I actually cried in my dreams about Zita being voted off (really, I cried about it in my dream last night.)

So why are the SP fans and DotComers up and arms against Zita being voted off. (Geez, guys, you have an onslaught of comments - really firing it up. But mind you - stop the hating about JC's gf and all those fighting among yourselves.. totally immature. ;))

First: Zita is our image, our idea of a typical Filipina Mother / Lola / Yaya / that sweet old lady in the palengke, cafeteria or sari-sari store that we just love. Among the castaways, Zita is the only one who is most natural and has never had any major "masamang tinapay" against anyone.

Second: Zita deserves and needs the 3M prize more than any other. It's the poor factor. It's also her being one of the strongest contenders during every challenge - winning the first ever IC, being a great swimmer and being the most reliable person in the camp life. It's her being most deserving and needy. No question about it.

Third: Because, Zita is not really playing the game. Sometimes - she goes with the flow, follows her heart and cries her heart out.

Oh god, Zita is the ultimate tearjerker - how many times have she made me cry... - During her talk with Vevh (Anak, ilalaglag nyo na ba ako?); Zita crying over Niña's exit; Zita winning the first IC; Zita crying over Marlon's pandedemonyo during their argument... Zita and his Manugang's tearful reunion... ( I mean, how many manugang and biyenan have that kind of relationship, enough to make a grown man cry.)

And the list could go on and on why people would've wanted Zita to win...

But what should've happened instead? Why is it especially painful that Zita got voted off?

First. It's because her former Naak children voted against her: JC and Rob. Which signified the JC, Rob and Charisse alliance.

Second: It is just unfair that Charisse and Rob outlasted her on the island. Rob - the "barnacle on the ship" (as iosephusmagus puts it) and Charisse - with her "cloak and dagger scheme" (as iosephusmagus puts it as well). This means that strategy and alliance would make a castaway outlast, more than physical strength or being a "mother figure".

Third: Because, we would have wanted Zita to be on the top 3 or top 2. She is practically an automatic winner when the final decision of the tribal jury comes.

This now reminds me of the personal bets of the former castaways - most of them have answered Zita - which could've been an omen for us that whoever their personal bets would practically not reach the final 2. Although Kiko's bet, JC is still around.

In the name of the game:

It is pretty obvious that whoever is left with Zita at the final two is on the losing end. That is why early on, she is voted off. This is probably the line of thinking of JC, Rob and Charisse. Cris is beholden to Nanay Zita after their Bangkok Tour, that's why Cris voted against Rob.

JC and Rob have a solid loyalty for each other. Cris already had his share of betrayal - while Charisse is always the bearer of the essential swing vote. I always thought that Charisse possesses the curse. Siya talaga ang may sumpa and the black pearl was actually a lucky charm, since whoever got it remained safe.

On the other side of the coin

Am I angry at JC for probably orchestrating the scenario of Zita being voted off? Is JC's charm more powerful than Zita's motherly care? I will hold that thought.

If not Zita, JC is the strongest contender - winning challenges one after the other. Strategizing his alliances and keeping them in tact much better than Kiko did. That is why Zita voted JC off. Not to mention, JC is not as "needy" of the money.

At this point of the game, it's Cris and JC that remain most deserving to become the sole survivor. Regardless of their share of betrayals. And as we approach the finals days, it's more and more apparent that JC could ultimately win the game. Such a lucky guy, if that so happens, to think that he should've have been the first castoff instead of Chev.

God Bless Zita

So, Zita has left the island. She has left an indelible mark. Showed us how mothers tend to sacrifice everything for her children til the very end. You never gave us any reason to hate you.

As for her final words...

"Dapat utak ang gamitin at hindi ang puso sa larong ito, dahil kapag puso, masasaktan ka. Hindi ba sinabi ko sa inyo na kung ako na ang susunod, sabihin nyo sa'kin. JC, Rob, Charisse and Cris... hindi ko akalaing gagawin nyo to sa'kin. Hindi man ako makaganti sa inyo, ang ibang tao na ang gagawa. Kapag ginawan mo ng masama ang iba, babalik din sa'yo ang kasamaan..."

Final notes

I believe the tribemates had no time to really discuss about who they would vote off... it was a sudden TC, that is why they didn't get to forewarn Zita. But JC and Rob already knows that Zita would vote off against JC, hence the hand signals during the IC...)

On Zita's guesting at Unang Hirit earlier this morning, she said that she got hurt but she understands that all of them want to win the 3M. She's happy about people acknowledging her in public and she is grateful for Survivor about everything. (pahabol - Zita also said that she received text messages last night from JC and the rest, saying sorry to her and "it's just a game." msgs.)

The castaways are all given "Talent Fees" or "compensations" during their stay on the island. Marlon saved up his stash to invest on a Chawarma business. I bet Zita got her share too.... and we know that blessings would outpour on her!

Four remain as 'Nanay' Zita is booted out of Survivor

Only four castaways remain in the Survivor Philippines after 43-year-old laundrywoman Zita Ortiga was eliminated by the Tribal Council on Tuesday.

With Nanay Zita’s elimination, the battle to be the first sole Survivor is a toss-up between Anna Charisse Yacapin, John Carlo “JC" Tuiseco, Robert Vincent “Rob" Sy, and Crisanto “Cris" Cartegenas.

Based on the tally of votes which was read by Survivor host Paolo Bediones, Zita - of the Naak tribe - received three votes, while Rob and JC got one each. Cris was not included after he won the immunity challenge.

With four remaining in the island, Bediones emphasized the importance to win the next immunity challenge to stay in the game.

Meanwhile, Nanay Zita expressed her disappointment against her Naak tribe members JC, Rob and Cris. Only Charisse remains from the old Jarakay tribe.

“Sobra. Noon ko sinabi na hindi puso kundi utak ang gamitin…Sinabi ko sa kanila kapag aalisin ako sabihin nila," Nanay Zita complained.

“Alam nila na kailangan ko ang pera…Kung hindi man ako makaganti may ibang gaganti," she ended.

Episode 56: Cris wins IC, but is he safe?

I GUESS he is safe. Why? If the preview of tomorrow's episode is not misleading, Paolo, holding a peal, is about to show, "Ang ikalabing-apat na natanggal sa Survivor Philippines at ikaanim na myembro ng ating jury..." That's if the imminuty necklace is in effect. What if the penalty of intentionally losing the blackpearl is losing the effect of immunity as well?

I have, though, this gut feel that the intentional losing of the blackpearl would backfire on Cris. What if each receives one vote?

How will the Cha-Rob-JC (CRJ) alliance fair on the Tribal Council? Para saan ang mga sensyas?

--------------------------

Before the Immunity Challenge, which CRJ has kinda predicted what it is like, they knew Cris would do well - like how he lasted for 4 hours standing only with a quarter inch plank.

"Cris will hang for his dear life."

Nay Zita and Cris arrived from the Bangkok tour. They were warmly welcomed by CRJ. Shared their stories. Nay Zita reiterates he chose Cris right to go with her since the others can afford of might have already experience such. Rob couldn't agree more on how deserving Nay Zita and Cris for the reward.

CRJ were happy now that Nay Zita is back, they don't need to do the chores anymore."Siya na ulit ng siya... at least pwede na ulit kami magrelax."

"Cris pa-hug naman..." Charisse invites Cris to tell more stories.

-------------------------

SURVIVOR PASOK!

FOR IMMUNITY. The challenge starts as the castaways stand on a balancing platform holding two ropes with each hand. After 30 minutes, they should lose grip on one rope. They can hold the other rope with both hands. after 30 more minutes, they should let go of the ropes. They can lean on any other parts of the frame except holding the ropes again, and their hands should not touch any in the frame. After 30 more minutes, only one feet remains in the platform. The other feet should not touch the ground. They can't switch feet nor lean on the other.

SURVIVORS READY?

After the first hour, everybody hangs on.The boys lean their backs agains the frame. Mommy Zita was the first to be disqualified, losing the balance and touching the frame. The other four got beyond the 90-minutes mark, balancing on one foot.

ROB GAVE UP, reasoning that he slipped his foot. Seeing his alliances Cha and JC balancing very well, he stepped down thinking safe. "Why would I prolong the agony, ika nga, e yung dalawa kong alliance is maganda naman ang posisyon. Bat ko papahirapan ang sarili ko."

Charisse fell out of balance at 4 hours 20 minutes mark. JC gave up the challenge after exchanging signals with "_" doing the thumbs up sign.

Cris won immunity. 4 hours 29 minutes. Paolo said, "LIGTAS KA SA TRIBAL COUNCIL."

Rob Wants Zita Out Of 'Survivor Philippines'

With the P3 million grand prize to be given just a few weeks away, Survivor Philippines Castaway Rob Sy wants motherly Zita Ortiga to be eliminated in the game.

After winning the latest reward challenge, Nanay Zita and her son-in-law were given the chance to go shopping in Bangkok with her chosen companions: fellow tribe member Cris Cartagenas and his mother.

Rob who was left in the island with allies JC Tiuseco and Charisse Yacapin mentioned that the Bangkok trip was the best reward for Zita and Cris. Rob thought that it was enough for Zita and Cris to have that once-in-a-lifetime experience to travel with their loved ones and they can already be eliminated in the game.

More than this, Rob’s plan to eliminate Nanay Zita was part of a sound strategy. He may have realized that Nanay Zita was a strong contender in the challenges. And if ever she would win the future Immunity Challenges, either he, JC or Charisse would be eliminated.

In case, Nanay Zita made it to the final two, it was obvious that whoever will be with her would not stand a chance since the jury might vote in favor of Nanay Zita.

Rob’s move breaks the promise he made to the tribe’s mother that he would bring her to the final two.

Will he proceed with his plan or will he have a change of heart?

Find out what the future holds for the remaining Castaways in Survivor Philippines, airing weeknights after Lalola on GMA.
