MANILA, Philippines — Both Filipino teams made it to the finals of the Amazing Race Asia finishing 1-2 in the penultimate episode of the AXN reality TV show.

Former "It's Showtime" host Eric "Eruption" Tai and wife Rona Samson are now a step closer from winning the top prize after finishing in first place.

The Samsons were followed by beauty queens Parul Shah and Maggie Wilson.

The four conspired to work against the teams from Malaysia and Indonesia in the race leg that began in Yogyakarta and ended in East Java in Indonesia.

The Malaysian pair of Yvonne Lee and Chloe Chen came in third, while the Indonesian duo of Treasuri and Louisa Kusnandar finished last and was ousted.

The remaining team will compete in the final episode for the $100,000 cash prize.

The final episode will be shown next Thursday on AXN.
