Along with the Clash graduates and judges, Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz are also the faces of "The Clash," an original singing talent competition and program from GMA. They are again in their familiar territory and tasks as Clash Masters every Sunday night at 7:15 after "Bubble Gang" on GMA.

They help viewers navigate the show and join The Clashers every step of their journeys.

Since they are privy to the goings-on behind the scenes and onscreen, Julie Anne and Rayver also take on the role of The Clashers' admirers and supporters.

"Tsaka kami yung ano No. 1 fan nila 'pag kumakanta na sila... (besides, we're their No. 1 fan when they go on stage and perform)," said Rayver in a recent press conference. "We're so proud of them (as we watch them) from the sidelines."

Julie Anne watches The Clashers perform and listens to their songs, after a repartee or introducing a segment, as is the hosts' wont.

Being TV performers and personalities themselves, Julie Anne and Rayver know the difference having a support system makes and creates, especially since this year's edition of "The Clash" seems a notch higher in terms of excitement and newness.
