The Final 4 did "Don't Stop Believing" as their homework performance where they were joined by the eliminated contestants. All the 12 of them then shot a music video of Pink's "Raise Your Glass."

The four finalists then prepared for their solo performances. After they have all performed, it was announced that Samuel won the competition. But after a few moments, Glee creator Ryan Murphy called Damian and told him that he won as well. Lindsay and Alex also received good news since the two will be featured in 2 episodes of Glee.

Widespread rains are also expected over the Eastern Visayas and Eastern Mindanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides, the PAGASA added.

Philippine Arena: 'world's largest domed arena' to rise in the Philippines

Korean builder Hanwha Engineering and Construction Corp. has signed a contract with Filipino Christian group Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) to establish the world's largest domed arena in the Philippines, Korea Herald reported Thursday.

To be called the Philippine Arena, the 50,000-seater indoor performance hall will soon rise at a 74,000-square-meter area near the Philippine Capital, Manila. The ground breaking ceremony was already held this week and was attended by the Hanwha and INC officials.

The soon-to-be largest domed arena in the world is expected to be finished in 30 months or by 2014 and will reportedly cost INC a whooping $175 million!

Philippine Arena is said to be Iglesia ni Cristo's "centennial project" since the Christian organization is going to celebrate its 100th founding anniversary in 2014.

Wow! Will the next Olympic games be held in the Philippines after its completion? Hmmmmm... :D
