MANILA — Former child star Brenan Espartinez had judges of Tawag ng Tanghalan on their feet Monday, with a performance that reminded viewers of his talent after years away from the limelight.

Espartinez, who ‘90s kids may remember as the character Agatom in the educational TV program “Sineskwela,” was one of six celebrity contenders who performed on the first day of the week-long grand finals.

His smooth then soaring take on Luther Vandross’ “Always and Forever” prompted enthusiastic reactions from the judges, who then gave Espartinez a standing ovation at the end of his number.

The applauded performance earned Espartinez the highest score from the judges, making him the “Hurado’s Choice” of the day.
