Si Albert "Betong" Sumaya ang itinanghal na Ultimate Sole Suvivor sa grand finale ng Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown.

Ginanap ang live finale episode ng fourth season ng popular reality show na ito ngayong gabi, February 10, sa Studio 7 ng GMA Network.

Pagkatapos basahin ng host na si Richard Gutierrez ang huling boto at ianunsiyo na si Betong ang nanalo, hindi napigilan ng komedyante ang mapaluha.

Tinawag din niya ang ilang miyembro ng kanyang pamilya sa stage upang samahan siya sa kanyang tagumpay.

Sina GMA-7 Chairman and CEO Felipe Gozon at President and COO Gilberto Duavit, Jr ang nag-abot ng premyong P3 million kay Betong.

Apat na boto ang nakuha ni Betong mula sa pitong miyembro ng Jury. Ang mga bumoto sa kanya ay sina Maey Bautista, Chuckie Dreyfus, Arthur Solinap, at KC Montero.

Pumangalawa si Mara Yokohama na nakakuha naman ng dalawang boto—mula sa Volcanoes players na sina Arnold Aninion at John Odulio.

Isang boto lang ang nakuha ni Stef Prescott—mula sa kanyang partner at kasamahan sa GMA Artist Center na si Gino dela Peña.

BETONG'S HIGHLIGHTS. Noong November 14, 2011 nag-premiere sa primetime ng GMA-7 ang Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown, na kinunan mula September 21 hanggang October 26 sa San Vicente, Palawan.

Isa si Betong sa 20 celebrity contestants na sumali sa season na ito, na nag-feature ng mga magkaka-partner na contestants.

Ka-partner niya ang kanyang kaibigan na si Maey Bautista, na ka-tandem niya rin sa paghu-host sa ilang mga programa sa GMA News TV.

Mahina ang katawan ni Betong at hindi siya nanalo ng kahit isang challenge.

Ang nakapagligtas lang sa kanya ay ang pagkaka-tandem niya kay Maey, dahil pareho silang itinuturing bilang pinaka-likable na castaways sa season na ito.

At dahil hindi siya threat pagdating sa physical challenges, hindi rin siya madalas ma-target para matanggal sa Tribal Council.

Dahil dito ay nakarating si Betong sa merge noong Day 16 nang walang bumuboto para matanggal siya.

Pagdating ng merge ay naging mapanganib ang posisyon ni Betong dahil isa siya sa apat na miyembro ng Tala tribe, na outnumbered ng mga miyembro ng Bulan tribe.

sabi nga ni kc.. "kung pinag isipan daw ni mara, stef at betong na i vote out sya b4 the tc.. ok lang. hahanga pa sya dun sa 3 kasi na outwit sya. pero yung paraan why he was voted out where juries signalled to vote for him, yung ang nakaka sama ng loob." I AGREE

all the previous winners of Survivor worked hard in their camps... they all struggled to prove that they deserved their position... Betong is no different from them... siguro hindi kasing physically strong nila si betong, but he was emotionally strong to endure the entire adventure... KC can gloat all he wanst, but the truth remain he got outwitted in the end... he rested his fate with the girls, and ayun natalo sya... he shouldve worked hard for that last immunity bracelet, pero hindi nya ginawa...

isa ako sa masugid na taga subaybay ng survivor phils ..at sobrang nadissapoint ako talaga sa season na ito nawala ang credibidilad ng show, ang daming quitters at dayaan na wala man naging action ang GMA at production team ...tapos end ng story ang nanalo eh yung nakakaawa,masipag magluto, maglinis etc at mahirap para tuloy pinagsama ang show na PBB at WISH KO LANG tsk,,,tsk... unlike befor ang winners na gaya nila JC, Amanda at AKIHIRO masasabi mo talaga nasa kanila ang true essence ng tunay na SOLE SURVIVOR ! SANA NEXT SEASON EH DI NA GANITO KAPANGIT ANG SURVIVOR....maiwasan na ang dayaan at hindi na gawing CHARITY ang pagbibigay ng panalo!

Hay naku. Si KC ang dapat na naging sole survivor at hindi si betong. Dapat survivor rules were followed. Kitang kita naman ang pandaraya ni mara and yet they announced her the winner and uncrowned her after. Kitang kita rin ang coaching ng jury when they eliminated KC and the only admonition given ay no coaching, a light slap on the wrist. Why not disqualify them to be part of the jury? Napaka crucial na yong final four to allow such defiance of the rules. Stef and mara should have voted KC to be in the final 3. He deserves to win, however obviuos this maybe. Hindi si betong, however so pitiful he is that heavens and earth cry with him.

Eversine the beginning of survivor, kinawawa ang Tala, pero God is with them, kasi sa Tala din nagmula ang winner. Sa mga nagsasabi na hindi derserving si Bentong, yes kung ang basehan is ang mga previous challenges hindi talaga siya deserving, pero sino ba ang naglagay sa kanya sa Top 3, di ba ang karamihan ng castaways, so wala tayong magagawa Bentong is destined to win kasi God knows his needs and sana tanggapin natin yun. My bet is KC kaso hindi talaga para sa kanya ang prize kaya wala tayong magagawa dun.

GMA, pls. hire KC as host for survivor. Richard is not a convincing host! At least with KC he's experienced first hand how it is to be a survivor.

63 fifi..no offence meant...according sa sinabi mo...dapat siguro palitan na ang slogan ng survivor...imbes na outwit,outplay,outsmart..gawin ng outcook,outyaya,outcare...sana sa pbb o di kaya sa wish ko lang sya sumali at doon nagpakitang gilas ng cooking,caring and sharing nya! I dont have anything against Betong but just the result cause even himself ay nasasabi nyang di sya deserving. Palagi pa syang kulelat sa mga challenges. Agree ako sa iba mong sinabi na may dayaang nagyari sa mga challenges at tribal council kaya understandable yung reaction ni Kc till the announcement of winner.

pero totoo na sira na ang survivor philippines because there was one challenge that one castaway resource to chea ting just to win the challenge and was even declared a winner though it was revoked after thorough investigation. 2nd was during the last tribal council, the jury are whispering and giving signals to the castaways during the voting. it's against the rule and probably influenced the decision of the 4 remaining castaways.

si betong hindi siya nakapanalo ng isa sa mga challenges pero he wins the heart of most of the castaways and he takes good care of them in the island in terms of food, pagkuha ng panggatong, etc. sila ni maey parang parents ng mga castaways, being a survivor also means surviving daily in the island, magaling si betong at maey sa pag aalaga ng mga castaways. di gaya ng iba na napapraning na sa kakastrategize na nagbackfire din naman sa kanila. for those who watch survivor from the beginning till the end of the show understands what i mean.

Sira ang record ng Survivor ngayon....From JC to Amanda to Akihiro...lahat yan para sa akin deserving..pero kay Betong parang hindi dahil sya mismo ay nagsasabing di sya deserving! Pwede pa si Mhaey.For me..dapat either stef or Kc dahil magaling silang gumawa ng strategy. Mara just rode on with arnold...sa huli lang sya bumawi!
