Jon Ervic Manalo Vijandre is a contestant from Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown.

The primary ally of power player Aubrey Miles, Ervic started in Sar Mayee and earned the ire of his tribemates for his perceived laziness. Relying on his social relationships, he was able to survive through tribe switches and make it through the merge. There, he and Aubrey usurped control of the tribe and effectively eliminated their threats, eventually reaching the Final Tribal Council. Ervic's lack of work ethics, ineffective answers, and riding of Aubrey's coattails were not respected by a mostly adverse jury and he lost the game to Akihiro Sato in a plurality vote.

Jury Votes for Akihiro	Aubrey, Moi
Co-Runner-Up, Day 36

^1Aira and Moi played their respective Immunity Bracelets. Therefore, the votes against each of them were not counted. Additionally, Sar Mayee participated in the second round of voting on Day 19 as a part of their additional reward for winning the Immunity Challenge on the same day.
^2Michelle played Jon's Immunity Bracelet. Therefore, the votes against her were not counted.
^3Ervic won the challenge, but gave immunity to Aubrey in exchange for an alternate prize, which was a car.
^4The vote in the Final Tribal Council "on the island" was actually for the seventh jury member, at which votes were cast by both the final four and the members of the present jury. The full results, revealed in front of a live audience, ended in a tie between Aubrey and Akihiro, at three votes each. This resulted in a live revote, where Aubrey and Akihiro were ineligible to vote.
