'The Clash': Jayce San Rafael still feels like a winner thanks to family's support
Jayce San Rafael is exiting the 'The Clash' a lot more sure about himself. The Las Pinas-based singer is the latest hopeful to get eliminated from the reality talent search. In an interview with GMA News Online, Jayce said that in joining 'The Clash,' he wanted to prove something to his family. His older siblings are the Tukomi Brothers, vloggers who went viral for their prank videos, and this became his source of motivation in the competition. 'Biggest achievement would be finally, makuha ko 'yung support and appreciation ng family ko,' Jayce told GMA News Online. 'Feeling ko talaga ako 'yung weakest link, ako 'yung loser sa 'min eh. Kasi tatlo kaming magkakapatid, kambal sila. Feeling ko hindi ako na-a-appreciate, feeling ko walang suporta sa 'kin 'yung family ko,' he added. Jayce said that he now sees his family's love and support towards him. 'Win or lose, whatever happens in the competition, maging successful man o hindi—ang success ko 'yung pamilya ko na babalikan,' he said. 'Alam kong may nagmamahal sa 'king pamilya at susuportahan ako all the way.' 'Panalo na 'ko na nararamdaman ko 'yung family support eh,' he added. 'Matalo man ako, feel ko panalo na ako eh. Matanggal man ako ngayon po, happy ako na uuwi ako sa bahay na masaya.' And despite the results of the show, Jayce remains determined and keeps his heart in music. 'Basta ako, pursue ko talaga 'yung music whatever happens.' 'Magsusulat ako, magpo-produce ako for myself and for other artists.' Should he go back to his day job or regular days, 'Alam ko sa sarili ko na may nagawa ako for my music. Nakasali ako sa national singing competition, naharap ko 'yung fears ko na ma-TV.' In a previous interview, Jayce likened his 'The Clash' journey to the song 'The Winner Takes It All' by ABBA because 'matira matibay talaga.' He added there are a lot of challenges, twists, and turns in the competition and so, 'Kung sino man mananalo, you deserve it.' 'The Clash' airs at 7:15 p.m. on Sundays on GMA Network. —JCB, GMA Integrated News

Carla Wehbe covers ABBA's 'The Winner Takes It All' for Like A Version
Take a moment to let Carla Wehbe's version of ABBA's 'The Winner Takes It All' really soak in. Right to your bones. Close everything else and just let this wash over you. That's how good it is. It's not often we get a full-blown goosebumps sesh in the studio, but this is certainly one for the books. Surrounded by a string section, backing vocals, her band and a pedal steel guitar, the Eora/Sydney-born Carla flexes her powerful and considered vocals in this stunning performance. Literally full body shivers . "They're one of my biggest inspirations," Carla said. "I grew up listening to ABBA, my mum is obsessed with ABBA. So it was just a song that soundtracked my growing up, I guess. And I always dreamed of doing an ABBA song if I ever got to do Like A Version." That deep emotion comes through so clearly in Carla's performance. Coming from deep in her soul and delivered with conviction, you can feel the years of shared love of the Swedish band radiating out of this one. We can only bet that Mama Wehbe is going to be really proud of this performance from Carla. Hopefully she's singing and dancing along, too. Check out more from Carla Wehbe's debut in the Like A Version studio below. Behind Carla Wehbe's cover of ABBA's 'The Winner Takes It All' for Like A Version Carla Wehbe — 'Gentle With Me' (live for Like A Version) Posted 2h ago 2 hours ago Thu 12 Jun 2025 at 10:30pm

Voices: Wes Streeting has won the spending review – but will he blow his winnings?
If Rachel Reeves did the spending review like a game show, she could invite her cabinet colleagues to 'come on down' the catwalk between the two red lines in the Commons, to music and strobe lights, to take their seats on the front bench. She could announce the winners of the competition for public funding over the next three years in reverse order, with David Lammy, the foreign secretary – who has lost a big chunk of his foreign aid budget – going first, followed by Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, and Steve Reed, environment. The last to be summoned, as the ABBA soundtrack switches from 'Money, Money, Money' to 'The Winner Takes It All', would be Wes Streeting, the health secretary, who has been allocated spending increases of 2.8 per cent a year more than inflation over the three years from next year to 2029. Arms in the air, in a sequinned jacket, as glitter falls from the ceiling, Streeting would take his place next to John Healey, the defence secretary, at the top of the line of winners and losers. Sadly, the announcement of spending plans for the rest of this parliament will be less showbiz. Reeves will try to generate a bit of excitement, and maybe even some waving of order papers, by spinning the big and welcome increase in capital investment – although she has already cannibalised some of her good news stories with her transport infrastructure announcement last week and the go-ahead for Sizewell C nuclear power station today. The problem with the capital projects, though, is that they will not start until 2027 at the earliest, so they won't have delivered anything except feelgood press releases before the next election. Whereas the big increase in day-to-day spending on the NHS is the kind of vote-winning largesse for which Labour MPs are desperate. In the absence of glitter and balloons, the waving of order papers will be compulsory on the government benches at this point. But wait: who is this, coming to spoil the party? It is the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), performing its constitutional role of puncturing inflated government claims. Labour, having used the IFS to attack the Conservatives at fiscal events over the previous 14 years, will find that the tables have turned (even if the Treasury insists that this is not a 'fiscal event' – it is merely allocating a spending total set at the Budget). Max Warner and Ben Zaranko of the IFS have written a paper for the Oxford Review of Economic Policy entitled 'Future challenges for health and social care provision in the UK'. It contains some startling facts, such as that, by the middle of the next decade, the NHS will employ 10 per cent of the entire workforce of England. It also contains a striking table showing the increase in the number of doctors and nurses employed in the NHS since 2019, and the increase in treatments. There are 18 per cent more consultants, 32 per cent more resident doctors (who were called junior doctors in the old days, a year ago) and 23 per cent more nurses and health visitors, which are huge increases in just five years. But the outputs from such dramatic increases have been disappointing. Hospital admissions have risen by just 9 per cent (except A&E admissions, up 2 per cent), and outpatient appointments have increased by just 12 per cent. The IFS authors comment: 'The large fall in NHS hospital productivity since the start of the pandemic complicates the picture.' They say there are two scenarios for the future: 'The optimistic view is that there is substantial scope for 'catch-up' improvements in productivity: merely returning to pre-pandemic levels would represent a considerable improvement. The more pessimistic view is that the pandemic has permanently lowered NHS productivity, because of the ongoing impacts of Covid-19 on patient health and complexity and changes to working practices or expectations.' They tentatively conclude that there are recent signs that NHS productivity is recovering, but the loss of capacity is still alarming. Despite the huge amounts of extra spending devoted to the NHS since the election, and promised for the next three years, no one in the think tanks that specialise in the health service thinks that Labour's targets will be hit by the next election. Will Streeting, the lucky winner of the spending review showdown, be able to convince the voters that he has spent their money well?

Meet Manuel, the new Pit Crew stud on 'Drag Race All Stars 10'
Instagram (@manuelkornisiuk); Paramount+ Manuel Kornisiuk, a.k.a. Manúk, on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10; Manuel Kornisiuk via Instagram. The double premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 started with a bang: Not only is the competition heating up in bracket 1, but fans also got to meet a brand-new Pit Crew member appearing on the show. The man appearing between Bryce Eilenberg and Bruno Alcantara in episode 2 of All Stars 10 is called Manuel. The actor, model, and musician — who has a different stage name for music — is from Argentina, but lives in Australia. So, without further ado, scroll through to learn more about the latest addition to the Pit Crew! Manuel is an actor, model, and musician uses a different name for his music career: Manúk. Manuel was born in Argentina, but he eventually moved to Australia, as noted in an interview with DA MAN. The publication also highlighted that Manuel "garnered significant attention" for starring as Hunter Rodriguez in the 2023 film The Winner Takes It All. "I come from a small city called Santa Rosa," Manuel told DA MAN in an interview from January 2025. "For a long time, I felt like something was missing and that I didn't quite fit in. There was this internal struggle within me that drove me to explore new places. I believe that many people go through similar experiences at least once in their lives. I spent the first few years after high school in Argentina, but eventually, I decided I wanted to move somewhere completely different." Manúk currently has 21,000 monthly listeners and 1,800 followers on Spotify. Most of his listeners on the music streaming platform come from Australia and Brazil. "Manúk is a visionary Argentinian artist based in Sydney, drawing inspiration from personal changes and emotions while infusing his music with what feels authentic to him," Manúk's bio on Spotify reads. "His sound seamlessly blends smooth R&B rhythms with a Latin spice, pushing the boundaries of the pop genre. With a unique style and vibrant performances, Manúk is making waves in the music scene." Manúk has been releasing music since 2020. However, the latest Pit Crew member has yet to drop an album or EP. His most popular songs include "Overstimulated," "Follow Me," "Hawái," and "Love Letters," to name a few. In his DA MAN interview, Manuel explained that "Overstimulated" is "about falling in love and jumping into something super scary, like how it is when you give yourself to a new person." Manúk - No Brainer On YouTube, Manúk's official channel has 1,080 subscribers as of this writing. The musician, actor, model, and Pit Crew member released a music video for "No Brainer" two weeks ago, on April 26. Thus far, Manuel only has two credits on IMDb: 2023's The Winner Takes It All and 2024's Perfect Boy Next Door. Both of those credits have Manuel listed as an actor. Fans can follow Manuel's Instagram page, @manuelkornisiuk, which already has over 230,000 followers even prior to his appearance on All Stars 10. On TikTok, you can follow Manuel under @manukmusic_.
