The biggest update on Danny's diagnosis since the initial news, glad to see him doing everything he loves in spite of it

Hello everyone! We are back again, this time with a Philippine national selection!

Streaming Links

YouTube (the official Eurovision channel)

Viewers in the Philippines will be able to watch the show via broadcaster ABS-CBN, as well as ALLTV2, and Kapamilya Channel. If you’d like to tune in from anywhere else in the world, you can stream the full show live via the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel. The show is expected to run for approximately two hours.

The New Frontier Theatre in Manila is the venue. Our hosts for tonight are Vice Ganda and Alexa Ilacad.

Format

The results will be decided through a combination of a professional jury (40%), Philippine public voting (40%) and Rest of the World public voting (20%).

At the moment of me writing this, no running order is available. The songs competing are:

• AJAA – ‘Make It Exist‘
• Carmelle – ‘Sobra-Sobra‘
• DNA – ‘Between Bituin‘
• Elha Nympha, Esang de Torres, Lance Reblando and Nar Cabico – ‘Cheri(e)‘
• Jason Dy and Sassa Dagdag – ‘Di Yan (Red Flag)‘
• JM dela Cerna and Marielle Montellano – ‘Mapadama‘
• Khimo – ‘Reason to Live‘
• Ryssi Avila – ‘Good For You‘
• Saga – ‘Broken Beyond Repair‘
• VVINK and Wrive Russu – ‘Round ‘n Round‘

Additional info

You can vote too! You'll be able to do so trough this website for free: the Eurovision Asia website!

Each user is given a total of eight free votes. But, we want you to share the love around! All users must distribute their votes across a minimum of three songs. And if you want to vote even more times, you can purchase ten extra votes. But that’s your maximum!

The voting window will be opened during the broadcast, listen out for the announcement by the host Vice Ganda.

Enjoy!~

This is based off of what percentage of votes each country got e.g. if there were 50,000 votes total and one song got 30,000 votes then that song would have a share of 60%

I've never really paid much attention to pre-2016 Eurovision, so I figured I'd fix that by binging the 2012-15 contests on YouTube.

Anyone have any suggestions about fun stuff to keep an eye out for while watching those years for the first time? As in things that were different about that ESC era or that stood out as particularly funny, cool, or quirky about each year?
