Joshua Ledet, 19, of Westlake, Louisiana was eliminated from the show on Thursday evening (Friday morning in Manila). Sanchez and Phillips will face off on May 23 (May 24 in Manila). The winner will be announced the next day. On the official website of the show, Sanchez's fans expressed their excitement as soon as "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest announced that she was safe.

Pinoys in California

On May 12, declared as "Jessica Sanchez Day" in Chula Vista, San Diego — Sanchez's hometown — thousands of Filipinos and Mexicans in California came out in support for Sanchez.

Chula Vista (Spanish for "beautiful view") is a laid-back city, once named by Forbes Magazine as one of America's most boring cities. Then the Jessica Sanchez phenomenon happened.
