JC Tiuseco wins the Survivor Phils.

I've been a avid follower of Survivor Philippines. And I don't ever missed a single episode. I followed the show from episode 1 up to the finale. I really enjoyed watching this show especially when challenges are showed. After the breathtaking episodes and the 39 days of trials, challenges and hardship. Finally the first Pinoy Sole Survivor declared its winner last night December 12, 2008 via a live telecast finale at the New GMA Studio 7 . Its JC Tiuseco won the title and a whooping P3m cash prize aside from that he won a car from a reward challenge of past episode. Wow that's a big money..

JC beat co-finalist Robert Vincent "Rob" Sy and 16 other castaways, including the eight Jury members—Charisse Yacapin, Cris Cartagenas, Zita Ortiga, Kaye Alipio, Marlon Carmen, Vern Domingo, Kiko Rustia and Jace Flores.

The Jury had the power to choose who will win the cash prize of three million pesos and the title, "Pinoy Sole Survivor."

Viewers of Survivor Philippines were also given the chance to pick the winner through text votes. People's choice will automatically have one vote, also dubbed the "Boto ng Bayan," in addition to the votes cast by the Jury.

JC got a total of 6 votes from the Jury while Rob got 2 votes. Likewise, the Pinoy viewers chose the court heartthrob (93 percent of the total number of text votes) over the lover boy (7 percent).

JC, who was initially deemed as lampa, had been one of the strongest contenders as early as the merge of the former Naak and Jarakay tribes into the Chalam tribe took place.

Backstabbing and broken alliances figured in the strategy of most castaways, but the court heartthrob was noted for playing the game with integrity.

Before JC was declared winner, he and Rob faced the Jury members in a tension-filled Tribal Council. The Jury took the opportunity to vent their anger and disappointment on JC and Rob, pointing out all the mistakes they comitted in the last 39 days.

In the end, the Jury chose JC to be the first-ever Pinoy Sole Survivor.
