Interracial Singing Trio, DBD, Wins Hearts of Viewers in ‘I Love OPM’

Six “Touristars” again made the cut this week and got the approval from the judges to proceed to the second round of competition in ABS-CBN’s newest singing contest for 100% non-Filipinos who love Pinoy music, “I Love OPM.”

Missionary Sumner Mahaffey, tourist turned expatriate Jerome McCuin and newly-wed Daniel Herrington, all hailing from America, were able to impress “Himigration Officers” Martin Nievera, Lani Misalucha, and Toni Gonzaga with their respective renditions of Yeng Constantino’s “Pag-ibig”, Fred Panopio’s “Kawawang Cowboy”; and Janella Salvador’s “Mahal Kita Pero”.

Stealing the show, however, was the charismatic all-male trio group DBD, composed of Korean Dae Lee, Nigerian Bobby Skyz and Australian Dwaine Mooley. The three pumped up the audience singing “Magda” by Gloc 9 featuring Rico Blanco and also charmed them even more when they showed how fluent they are in speaking Filipino.

Hosted by Anne Curtis with Eric Nicolas, “I Love OPM” continues to be well received by audiences weekly. “I Love OPM” received a national TV rating of 23.8% last Saturday (Feb 20) and 17.1% last Sunday (Feb 23) compared to their rivals which only received 11.8% and 15.8% respectively, according to data from Kantar Media.

What OPM hits will be showcased next? Who will have the best love story on how they fell in love with the Philippines and Filipino music? Which country will be able to produce the foreigner whom can sing OPM the best?

“I Love OPM” is a first-of-it-kind singing contest for 100% non-Filipinos who love OPM music. It is an original concept by ABS-CBN.

Don’t miss “I Love OPM” every Saturday right after “MMK,” and every Sunday after “Rated K” on ABS-CBN. For updates, follow @iloveopmtv on Instagram and Twitter or like https://www.facebook.com/iloveopm on Facebook.
