Dia Mate as Kylie Minogue wins Round 6 of 'Your Face Sounds Familiar'

December 23 ------ Reina Hspano-Americana 2025 Dia Mate was named the winner of the sixth round of "Your Face Sounds Familiar." Mate's transformation as Kylie Minogue, performing the song "Santa Baby," entertained and won the hearts of jurors and her fellow celebrity performers.

"'Yung ginawa mo ngayon eksakto, parang guwantes na eksaktong eksakto sa kamay at dahil doon ay ang ganda ng performance mo. Ang palakpakan nang ka-Familiars ginawa nila 'yon sa kalagitnaan ng performance mo, which means a lot. Dia, I'm happy that you did what you did," judge Gary Valenciano said. "Alam mo Dia hindi siya perfect pero napakalapit. Among all your performances my Dia I think tonight 'yung eksakto 'yung nuances, 'yung pagkaipit ng boses ni Kylie, 'yung pagka-sensual niya kuhang-kuha, pati timing. And saka you know what's obvious, you're so comfortable hindi ka na ninenerbiyos kanina. This might be it," juror Sharon Cuneta said.

Juror Ogie Alcasid said: "Ito 'yung hinihintay natin. Lahat 'yung nuances. Gustong-gusto ko 'yung performance mo. This is your very, very best. You are so sultry, very classy, galing. It's giving 'Santa Baby.'" Mate won the sixth round after receiving a total score of 29 points from the jurors and his fellow celebrity performers.

The duo of JM dela Cerna and Marielle Montellano was the second highest scorer with 18 points, followed by Akira Morishita with 17 points. "Firstly, gusto kong pasalamatan 'yung 'castmates' ko. Kasi I'm so insipred by all of them, their hard work as well. And they motivated me to do better and be a better performer. So thank you to you guys. And of course the jury thank you for giving me great constructive criticisms help me to be better din as a performer. At sa ka-Familiars also, sa support niyo -- thank you po," Matte said after ruling the leaderboard for the first time.
