Aside from Karylle, there were also other celebrities who were given a call back for the second round of auditions today, November 21. Included in the 60 contenders are Rachelle Ann Go, K-La Rivera, Tippy Dos Santos, and OJ Mariano. “It’s a dream come true for me to audition. Lea Salonga is my idol,” said K-La.
