(UPDATE) The race for this year’s Female Emerging Star could be one of the tightest in Yahoo Celebrity Awards’ four-year history.

Janella Salvador and Julia Barretto’s fans are pulling out all the stops to make sure their idol emerges the winner come July 18—outranking each other constantly since the poll began on June 4.

As of July 10, 11:30 am, the ABS-CBN stars both have 38 percent of online votes, not yet including votes via Kakao Talk. 

Their co-nominees Janine Gutierrez, Jessy Mendiola and Louise delos Reyes have 6 percent, 8 percent and 9 percent votes, respectively.

The Male Emerging Star competition is not as hot, though.

JC De Vera enjoys a comfortable lead over the rest with 53 percent of votes. Nash Aguas and Kristofer Martin are presently on the second and third spot with 20 percent and 14 percent, respectively.



Julie Anne vs. Sarah G. as Female Performernominees

Both singers are out to reclaim their rightful title.

Sarah Geronimo, Yahoo Awards’ Female Performer in 2012, is a leading by 3 percent against Julie Anne San Jose, last year’s titleholder.

The two performers dominate the five-week poll with 48 percent and 45 percent of the votes, respectively.

DJ Chacha, Nicole Hyala inching closer

Another hotly-contested category is Female DJ of the Year.

DJ Chacha (MoR 101.9), a first-time nominee,  enjoys a slim lead over Nicole Hyala (Love Radio 90.7),  two-time winner in the said category. The two are dominating the polls at 49 percent and 45 percent, respectively.

Other female DJs—Delamar (RX 93.1), Megandang Megan (93.9 iFM) and Sam Oh (Magic 89.9)—share the rest of the voting pie.

Meanwhile, the voting trend in the male category favors Papa Jack (Love Radio 90.7) with 56 percent of the votes. Chris Tsuper currently ranks second with 34 percent.



JhaBea lead Celebrity Couple

Real-life sweethearts Bea Binene and Jake Vargas are leading the pack of celebrity couples with 42 percent of the votes. Angel Locsin and Luis Manzano place second with 32 percent.

Marian Rivera-Dingdong Dantes, Bea Alonzo-Zanjoe Marudo and Angelica Panganiban-John Lloyd Cruz currently rank third, fourth and fifth,  respectively.

The month-long voting period closes at 12 noon on Saturday (July 12). The Philippines biggest’ fan-driven awards concludes on July 18 in a glitzy awards night at the Mall of Asia Arena.
