Leah Salonga vented her anger after the alleged leaks of winners of "The Voice" Battle Rounds

Broadway star and current coach of "The Voice of the Philippines" Leah Salonga expressed anger on Twitter, aimed directly to an audience member of the ABS-CBN program for supposedly spoiling the results of the upcoming leg of the competition.

Salonga tweeted that the "leaker" allegedly started to announce the winners of the Battle Rounds taped a few weeks back. The said tapes are scheduled to be aired nationwide to the public starting this Saturday.

And the tweets continue...

Even "The Voice of the Philippines" official Twitter page wasn't happy with the leak. They warned against posting spoilers, saying anyone who leaks results of the competition "will be blocked/banned from our Twitter account and Facebook page."

After sharing her sentiments in a series of tweets, Salonga added: 

For me, it is less about those results and more about the artists on every team that pour their hearts out through their voices. That is the part that makes this journey such riveting television.

So, regardless of what you know, watch [the show] to witness great artistry in the singers that have made it to those Battles and Knockouts. Watch them as they navigate through the competition rounds, root for your idols when they sing.

And praise God that our country is blessed with an abundance of musical talent. No spoiler can take that away. So don't deprive these artists of the attention they deserve. Their voices shall be heard!"

Coach Bamboo who turned first after hearing the soulful and superb voice of Blancaflor said: I think this is the first. Any song I've been a part of I never turned unless you bring in something special. You brought me somewhere else. It was so beautiful and uh, thank you for playing that song.

Casper was overwhelmed upon hearing the judges amazing comments for her. She thanked them all whilst almost on the verge of tears. When it was time for her to choose who will be her coach, she chose Bamboo; the voice behind Kisapmata, the same song she sung.
