MANILA (2ND UPDATE) - In the end, it was the 16-year-old with the haunting raspy voice who took home the title.

Cebu's Janine Berdin was named grand winner of this season's "Tawag ng Tanghalan" on "It's Showtime" Saturday, taking home a P2-million cash prize, a management contract and a house and lot among others at the finale held at the Aliw Theater in Pasay City.

Berdin earned the highest number of combined judges' scores and text votes (96.11 percent), defeating Ato Arman (74.27 percent) and Steven Paysu (61.80 percent) who finished second and third, respectively.

Earlier in the competition, Berdin sang the 1989 hit OPM song "Nosi Ba Lasi" to secure her spot in the top three.

Berdin is no stranger to artist searches and singing competitions.

She initially tried to join season 1 of "Tawag ng Tanghalan" but with no luck. She also tried joining "The Voice Kids Philippines" and "Star Circle Quest: Search for the Next Kiddie Superstars 4" where she finished as a semifinalist.
