MANILA, Philippines — A familiar face is again the champion of "Tawag ng Taghalan."

Sam Mangubat sang Adele's "When We Were Young" on Saturday to defeat two-day defending champion Yvette Celoso.

The Batangas native, who considers himself a cover singer, fell one win short of a spot in the semifinals of the singing contest back when he first joined in August.

Following Mangubat's performance, some of the judges pumped their fists in approval.
