After a setback, Ramiele cuts it the second time around
FLORIDA
After a setback the first time around, Ramiele Malubay had no wish to give
American Idol another try.
She had her reasons, but her father and supporters had a bigger argument
going for them in getting her to try again: Malubay had become a rallying
symbol for the Filipino community in Florida and beyond.

The long and short of it is that the diminutive
20-year-old with the big voice became one of
12 finalists this time around in the top-rated
TV show.
“I think she was lacking a bit of confidence
and didn’t want the people close to her to
expect too much from her,” neighbour Isidra
Yokose said, referring to Malubay’s initial
reluctance.
“She is so incredibly special to us and to the
rest of the Filipino community,” added family
friend Geny Panaligan-Ke, who organizes the
Watch ‘N Vote 4 Ramiele gatherings.
“I don’t know where she gets it, but she
definitely has the talent, the potential and the
confidence to make it,” Yokose said. “We are
so proud of her, and we have all the faith in the
world that she will make it big.”

The Wynn Las Vegas casino’s director of race and sports operations has
given her 6-1 odds of winning the competition, behind David Archuleta at 4-1.
Before her good looks, tiny stature – she’s 4-foot-11 – and big voice made her
a fan favorite, Malubay worked part-time as a waitress at a sushi restaurant in
suburban Fort Lauderdale, where she grew up with her parents and younger
sister.
