Marky Cielo and Jackie Rise were declared on March 12, 2006 as the ultimate survivors of the reality-based TV program "Starstruck", each winning P1,000,000 in cash and a P2M-contract from the GMA Network. From the two, Marky Cielo, stood as the sole survivor winning, in addition, a house and lot worth P2.5M, a 1.5M business package from Ink For Less, P300,000 cash from Drs. Pie and Manny Calayan, among others. All in all, Marky won a prize worth P10,000,000 -- the highest prize winning given so far in the history of Philippine television.
Marky Cielo, a true-blooded Filipino, hails from the Mountain Province. He's a proud descendant of the Igorot tribe. It's about time that a star is born from a genuine native Filipino race. Jackie, on the other hand, is a Fil-Am hailing from Olongapo. From thousands of aspirants, the two emerged as winners from the Starstruck top 12. Marky received the highest number of votes. Runners-up were Gian of Iloilo and Iwa Moto of Las Pinas.
After the ultimate survivors were chosen, the judges asked both of them one question "What staying power do you have in order to last in show business?" Jackie answered quite nervously. As a result, her answer wasn't impressive at all. She said that it would be her humility and her ability to follow the footsteps of the stars (maybe she meant past Starstruck winners) would make her succeed in showbiz.
On the other hand, Marky Cielo's response was not impressive either. He said that staying the way he was and listening to criticisms would be his staying power. If the sole criterion in choosing the sole survivor was based on their answers, they would have both failed. If I were in their shoes, this would be my answer:
"The singing, the dancing, the acting, all do not end on this stage. Every day will be a challenge. Every day continues to be a test, a learning experience, an opportunity to improve myself. My desire to learn everyday will be my staying power."
Starstruck is a reality-based star search program created by GMA Network. After choosing the top 12, the viewing public gets a chance to vote for their favorites. In judging, the votes have 50% weight; the other 50% comes from the judges.
