Noven Belleza of Negros Occidental was named the winner of It’s Showtime‘s Tawag ng Tanghalan during the singing contest’s grand finals on Saturday, March 11, 2017, that was held at the Resorts World Manila.

Noven got 99.96%, the highest percentage of the combined judges’ scores and public text votes.

He beat Sam Mangubat of Batangas who got 49.09%, and Froilan Canlas of Camarines Sur  with 45.78%.

Before the Top 3 battle, however, the judges had a hard time in choosing who goes through to the 2nd round (the Top 3). Finalists Pauline, Marielle and Carl Malone were also good.

Meanwhile, part of the prizes Noven got as the winner included a Star Music recording contract, a house and lot, and 2-million pesos.
