From winning our hearts with his rendition of “Pusong Ligaw” as Jericho Rosales, in the previous week, which gave him his first-ever “Your Face Sounds Familiar” trophy, Jarlo Base went on to get us smitten by his transformation into John Legend crooning his well-loved hit “All Of Me” for the Round 4.
Little did he know that it was not only the challenge he was about to take on in the November 16 episode, as hosts Vhong Navarro and Jhong Hilario also put his storytelling skills to the test, since “legend” translates to “alamat” in Filipino. Jarlo enthusiastically accepted the challenge and narrated the popular “Alamat ng Pinya.”
Of course, being the talented comedians that they are, Vhong and Jhong also got everyone entertained with their “alamat” stories about the origins of “tokneneng” (or fried, hard-boiled chicken or duck eggs coated in a bright orange, seasoned batter) and “bota,” respectively. Subsequently, since he’s the one and only “Boy Pick Up,” they asked judge Ogie Alcasid to impart as well his own “Alamat,” which was about the legend of Palawan.
After the storytelling session, the jury then went on to deliver their respective comments on Jarlo’s performance, who were happy and proud of how he amazingly nailed his impersonation of John Legend.
