Kokoi Baldo Shockingly Sent Home By Sarah Geronimo On The Voice PH

The live performance and elimination night of "The Voice of the Philippines" on Sunday ended with a major shocker after reggae singer Kokoi Baldo was eliminated from Team Sarah.

Baldo performed The Police's "Message in a Bottle," earning praise from the coaches.

However, Baldo was sent home after Geronimo opted to save Monique Lualhati instead.

With Manzano pressuring her to make a decision, Geronimo became emotional such that Lea Salonga came over to hug her.

Lualhati and Jason Dy, who received the highest percentage of viewers' votes for the team, will advance to the semifinals next week.

Kokoi Baldo Wins Battle Round In The Voice Of The Philippines

Kokoi Baldo, the reggae singer who turned four chairs during the Blind Auditions, moves on to the next round of competition on "The Voice of the Philippines" after proving his versatility on the show's episode that aired on Sunday.



For the Battle Rounds, Baldo was paired with Elmerjun Hilario, a wedding singer who can also play several instruments.

Coach Sarah Geronimo chose Mr. Big's "To Be With You," which Baldo admits does not fit his voice.

Bamboo went with Hilario, admiring how he was able to maneuver his way through the song, while Lea Salonga and apl.de.ap both chose Baldo, admiring his unique voice.

Geronimo praised both Hilario and Baldo, adding that she purposely chose a song away from Baldo's genre to be fair to both singers.

Baldo emerged as the winner and moves on to the next round of competition, joining Jason Dy, Jason Fernandez and Monique Lualhati on Team Sarah.
