'The Voice PH' winner Mitoy Yonting joins 'Showtime'

The score is, Mitoy Yonting will be on ABS-CBN's 'Showtime'. It sure was an open target for criticisms from the country's TV viewers, but for Mitoy, he never forgot where he came from, considering where he got the television exposures first.
The 43-year-old singer and former lead man of the band 'Draybers' is all thankful for the silent support of the Dabarkads. If you didn't know, Mitoy first appeared on TV with Eat Bulaga's Vic Sotto and on various comedy shows including 'Ful Haus' on GMA-7 and 'H3O: Ha Ha Ha Over!' on QTV. Mitoy told the media in an interview:

Personally kinausap ko si Vic Sotto. Nilapitan ko si Bossing. Nagpaalam ako. Siyempre respeto naman ‘yun e ang laki naman ng naitulong sa’kin [ng Eat Bulaga] noong simula e

E sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Bossing medyo magkakaroon daw ako ng Showtime.’ Sabi niya, ‘Ok ‘yun!’ Tsaka sitcom, ‘E ‘di ayos!

Mitoy also expressed his sincere thanks to Joey De Leon, specially during the times when he was being attacked by detractors on Twitter.

Napatunayan ko lang na sinusuportahan nila ko nang ipagtanggol na ako ni Sir Joey sa tweets ng mga kumakalaban o mga kumekwestyon. Kaya napatunayan ko nang hindi ako pinabayaan ng dabarkads.

Mitoy Yonting was the ultimate winner of ABS-CBN's just concluded 'The Voice' Philippines edition. Aside from the cash, car and an Asian tour, Mitoy is also ensured of a 4-year recording contract with MCA Music.

It is good that Mitoy is going to fulfill his dreams without forgetting where he came from. He surely did not forget the people who put him into the spotlight to get the break in his career.

Good luck as you venture into Showtime.
