Justine Ferrer is a contestant from Survivor Philippines: Palau.

After being voted out first by the tribe for being perceived weak by the tribe, the Isla Purgatoryo twist enable Justine to stay in the game and battle her way through against all other eliminated contestants at the pre-jury, which led to her surprise return at the merge. There, she formed key alliances with the other women and with Charles Fernandez, which enabled her to reach the final tribal council, where she narrowly lost to Amanda Coolley Van Cooll in a 4-3-0 vote.

Profile

"Well, I can say that I'm a real Survivor because I have been the breadwinner of my family for 10 years now. Also, I am providing for my nephew's education and am helping my friends and relatives as much as I can. For me, winning their respect and love made me a real Survivor."

Justine Ferrer worked in Japan as a singer at the age of 19 and since then has become the breadwinner of the family. As a businesswoman, Justine helped her father in his buy-and sell business and managed a baby ultrasound company. To physically prepare for the Survivor Philippines: Palau, Justine enhanced her skills by taking swimming lessons, but most of all she invested on a lot of rest and vitamins. She has prepared emotionally for the experiences ahead of her on the island. Justine believes that her "uniqueness" is the key for her to become a Castaway. "I think I was chosen because they are curious about what's really inside of me and my behavior," Justine said.
