Miguel's "Payback Time"

Eyewitness accounts confirmed that Miguel's family and green-shirt-wearing supporters left the Philippine Idol Theater after Ryan Cayabyab's straight-forward remarks for him to "finish school and be a good boy."

In an interview with Manila Bulletin, Cayabyab admitted that he prepared himself to say goodbye to the youngest contender. However, Miguel's good rendition of "Harana" last Saturday made him reconsider his comments.

Nevertheless, the fans did not take Maestro's take on Miguel lightly. They screamed so as to drown Cayabyab's words, even to the point of heckling him. And finally, the fans and Miguel's family walked out of the theater.

However, that does not mean we would see the end of Miguel. For all we know, his family and supporters have made some "payback" time in form of votes.
