Four pairs again faced off in The Voice of the Philippines Sunday (August 11) as the exciting Battle Rounds of the hit singing-reality show continues.
First up was the battle between Maki Ricafort and Hans Dimayuga of Team Sarah. The two performed Lemar's What About Love with Maki playing the piano and Hans on the guitars. Sarah found it difficult to choose between the two because both were very good. However, she saw Maki more ready for the live shows. [Battle video]
Team Apl's Emmanuelle Vera and Jessica Reynoso showcased a girl-girl duet of Pink's Just Give Me a Reason featuring Nate Ruess. Jessica, sporting a straight hair, gave a powerful performance but Emman did not let her rival overpower her. In the end, coach Apl picked Jessica to advance to the next round of competition.

Talia Reyes and Denise Sagun of Team Bamboo did something beautiful with Red Hot Chili Peppers' Under the Bridge. Their rendition was quite slow but they jived smoothly and complemented each other. Coach Bamboo congratulated the two for a job well done but eventually picked Talia Reyes as the winner of the battle. [Battle video]
Team Lea had her triangle fight on the episode with Juvie Pelos, Rainier Acosta and RJ dela Fuente facing off in Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. The song was unfamiliar to the three but they delivered. Juvie Pelos was the one expected by many to advance but coach Lea said she kinda overdid the song. Guest adviser Gerard Salonga chose RJ dela Fuente and his sister, coach Lea went with that decision. [Battle video]
Next week, the Battle Rounds will proceed with the last set of pairs from the four teams. Who will make it to the live shows next? Find out on The Voice of the Philippines, Saturdays after MMK and Sundays after Rated K.
