After 13 teams, 26 Road Blocks(!),10 countries and 67,000 km, it all comes down to this! The Final Three Race through Manila on what might be the most challenging and most nail-biting Final Leg ever!

The Final Leg begins at Rizal Park at 9am. After making their Road Block choices, teams hop into taxis to brave morning rush hour traffic to get to Jollibee Plaza in Pasig. MM & MJ’s taxi driver takes a small shortcut, but only results in a five-minute lead ahead of the other two teams.

The unexpected Road Block has teams trying to recall where and when did they encounter Jollibee during the Race. All three teams have to make two rappelling attempts in order to get the three Jollibee flags they need. Ehra & Michelle move into first after being the quickest to figure out which ones they needed. MM & MJ are ten minutes behind while Elma & Jojo are then five minutes behind them.

Back into Manila traffic the teams go. And that unpredictable variable allows Elma & Jojo to move into the lead, but the other teams are right behind them.

The second Road Block manages to trip up the teams some more. Ehra & Michelle move back into the lead with Elma & Jojo falling behind once more.

But the volatile traffic of the metro gives Elma & Jojo a chance to move back into the lead when their taxi driver slips through the perfect backstreet, surprising the other two teams.

Having to remember the season’s record-breaking number of Road Blocks makes the teams’ head spin, all while they also have to break through the ice block. MM & MJ’s strategy pays off, moving them into first with Ehra & Michelle close behind. Elma & Jojo fall back to last as they also have to complete their Speed Bump before leaving.

Ehra & Michelle arrive at the Cultural Center of the Philippines just before MM & MJ and they get started with the Double Road Block. Elma & Jojo try to catch up. And the tricky Pandanggo side of the Double Road Block proves to be difficult for all the teams. Ehra & Michelle maintain first place on the way to MOA Arena, widening their lead over MM & MJ to 15 minutes. The twins, meanwhile, have a ten-minute buffer over Elma & Jojo.

But those leads are smashed when teams encounter the Final Memory Task of the Race. It takes teams a while before understanding exactly what they need to do. And it is Elma & Jojo who manage to figure it out the quickest.

Elma & Jojo hurry to assemble their bikes, but MM & MJ arrive at the assembly point before they leave. Ehra & Michelle, meanwhile, arrive just as Elma & Jojo begin pedaling toward Okada Manila.

MM & MJ make up some time on the road, but Elma & Jojo’s lead is too great to overcome.

Elma & Jojo run to the Finish Line and The Fountain welcomes them with a spectacular water and light show, celebrating their WIN of The Amazing Race Philippines: DryedMangoez Edition Season 23! MM & MJ arrive just five minutes later with Ehra & Michelle crossing the Finish Line ten minutes after them.

Congratulations everyone!
