Your Blogger watched the Grand Finals of Eat Bulaga’s the first- ever You're My Foreignoy, personality contest for male foreigners who embodies and embraces the Filipino in his heart.

Twenty seven year old Guilherme "Gui" Adorno of Portugal won over the seven other guys and became P200,000 richer.

AUDIENCE FAVORITES
I really thought it was between audience favorites Richard Hwan & Reza Kianifar who both were charming and thrilled everyone with their entertaining talent presentations but I guess a bigger weight was given for subdued masculinity, gentlemanly aura & sophistication.
SPECIAL NUMBER
Aljur Abrenica sings with Natalia Moon and Anna Rabtsun |
