The Deaf dancers won the daily contest with a perfect score of 10 from the judges. They would proceed to the weekly finals.
Here is the transcription and translation of the comments of the judges (for the benefit of the Deaf as the video is not captioned)

Kris Kleiner: InDEAFendent dancers, nakakaiyak talaga kayo, sobrang inspiring yung ginawa nyo. Wala wala akong masabi basta, I'm so proud of you guys, sa na-achieve nyo. Sabay-sabay kayo, mataas ang energy nyo, ang ganda ng choreography nyo and basta, great great great job, palakpakan po natin sila isa pang beses, everyone. Nakaka-inspire kayo, thank you so much for showing everyone your talent.

Luis Manzano:
Hi guys, isa kayong inspirasyon sa aming lahat. Kaya kong sabihin na isa na siguro sa highlight ng aking buhay, eh napanood ko ang grupo nyo. Sa buhay kasi, nakapadaling magreklamo kahit araw araw kumpleto ka, nakakakita ka ng maayos, pandinig, pananalita, ang isang napakadaling gawin ng tao ay magreklamo pero ang ginawa nyo, kung ano ang binigay ng Diyos sa inyo, ginamit nyo ng sobra sobra at sa puntong ito tinalo nyo ang kumpleto pa, na lahat ng meron sila. At buong buhay ko kaya kong sabihin, ako na ay hahanga at ako na ay isang fan nyo. Eto ang score nyo.

Vice Ganda:
Ok, gusto kong sabihin sa inyo ay ako ay hangang hanga sa inyo hindi dahil bingi kundi dahil mahuhusay kayong mga indibidwal. Kasi di ba baka sabihin eh, kasi ganyan kaya binibigyan... hindi.. napakahusay nyo at sapat na yun para palakpakan kayo ng lahat ng tao na nakakakita sa inyo, di ba? Maaring di kayo nakakapagsalita pero kinausap kami ng talento ninyo. Hindi nyo man kami naririnig pero naririnig kami ng mga puso ninyo. Alam na alam namin yan at eto ay para sa inyo.

Kris Kleiner:
InDEAFendent dancers, {you} make us cry. What you did was so inspiring. I'm speechless, but I'm so proud of you guys in what you have achieved. You danced in unison, you have high energy, your choreography is beautiful. Great job! Everyone give them another applause. You are inspiring. Thank you so much for showing everyone your talent.

Luis Manzano:
Hi guys. You are an inspiration to all of us. I can already say that this may be one of the highlight of my life, to have witnessed your group. In life, it is easy to complain everyday... even if you can see, hear and speak. It's so easy to complain, but with what you did, whatever God has given you, you have used it to its fullest to the point that you can beat others. I can say that I admire you and I am already your fan for life. Here's your score.

Vice Ganda:
Ok. I would like to say to all of you that I very much admire you, not because you are Deaf but that you are skillful individuals. Because, others might say that we are giving "preference" because you are like that. No. You are all good and that's enough so that you will be applauded by those who are watching you. Right? Your talents have spoken to us and we know that may not be able to hear us but your hearts have heard us.

May we all be inspired!
