VER5US makes first appearance on ‘Battle of the Judges Philippines,’ advances to the next round of the competition

Rising P-pop group VER5US made a stunning debut on the reality talent competition program ‘Battle of the Judges Philippines,’ which aired on July 22 via GMA Network. The talented group captivated both judges and the studio audience with their electrifying performance of Skusta Clee’s hit song ‘Karma,’ earning them a well-deserved victory in the ‘Battle of the Best’ round.

Representing the team of Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, one of the program judges, VER5US faced stiff competition from Bea Alonzo’s squad member, Jay-R Siaboc, who performed an emotional rendition of his original song ‘Hiling.’

Atty. Gozon-Valdes shared that VER5US took the initiative to conceptualize their entire act, showcasing their creativity and artistry. She only provided some suggestions to further enhance their presentation. On the other hand, Bea Alonzo expressed her admiration for the group’s talents and revealed that she had hoped to have them on her squad. Renowned TV host and judge Boy Abunda, on the other hand, praised VER5US, describing them as a “total package” with the potential to represent the Philippines on an international stage.

The ultimate decision was determined through a combination of judges’ scores and votes from the studio audience. VER5US emerged victorious, securing their spot in the next level of the competition. This stage will feature 12 remaining contestants who will vie for the title of the ‘Ultimate Battle’ champion.
