IT WAS THE first elimination in “Protégé” , a night of tears for both the mentors and the five aspirants who were simultaneously booted out. It’s the mentors themselves who chose which one of their two bottom two protégés they’d let go. Jolina Magdangal of Visayas region chose to send home Mitch Capili of Bohol over Zandra Summer of Cebu. Phillip Salvador of Mindanao chose to eliminate Apple Vega and saved Ruru Madrid. Roderick Paulate of MegaManila let go of Kelly D over Vien Allen King. Ricky Davao of North & Central Luzon chose to save Japs de Luna over Glenn Roy. South Luzon’s Gina Alajar chose to save Amy Ross over Mikel Ong. There are now only 15 remaining protégés.
