 "Margarita" Chosen as Latin American Idol
Following a long battle on the stage of "Latin American Idol", the winner of season 3 was announced last night, following a tense 120 minutes that ended with the announcement of the latest idol, Panama's Margarita Henriquéz.

After the final count was in, the majority of Latin Americans voted for Margarita, leaving Costa Rica's María José Castillo in second place.

"No matter, she is still a winner to us" was the common chant from Costa Ricans from all over San José as the local television stations broadcast reports from various different bars in the city.

A few minutes before 9pm local time, San José and the rest of the country became still as all eyes were glued to the nearest television of the live event broadcast from Argentina.
