'PILIPINAS GOT TALENT': PINOYS SHOW THE WORLD WHAT THEY'VE GOT, ANEW
MANILA, FEBRUARY 28, 2011 (MALAYA) Pinoys show the world what they've got – again A BLIND girl playing the piano, brothes tap dancing on regular leather shoes, a girl circling hoola hoops simultaneously around her body, and a brass band composed of 70 members altogether on one stage.
These are only some of the acts to watch as Pinoys once again show the world what they've got in the highly-anticipated second season of the biggest nationwide talent-reality show "Pilipinas Got Talent" (PGT) that premiered last Saturday (Feb. 26) on ABS-CBN.
The search is on once more for that world-class act worthy of winning the P2 million cash prize and getting that once-in-a-lifetime shot at stardom just like season one grand winner Jovit Baldivino, who is now living the dream and making a mark in the industry with his music.
As "Pilipinas Got Talent" returns on air, so are its wacky hosts Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford (photo), who are both very excited to get back on stage and do the show all over again.
"I am extremely happy. We all know how much people supported the first season so it's a good feeling doing the same thing all over with Billy Boy," said Luis.
Judges Kris Aquino, Ai Ai De las Alas and Freddie M. Garcia a.k.a. FMG are also back to decide who makes the cut and who among the acts deserve to be in the grand finals.
When asked what advice they can give to season two hopefuls, Kris said, "This is a God-given chance. It's a chance to perform for the entire nation. Ibigay mo na ang lahat dahil minsan lang dumadating ang ganito kalaking oportunidad."
"Mataas ang pressure ngayon dahil dapat kabugin niya ang season one. Kung dati binuhay niyo ang katawang lupa ko, ngayon mas buhayin ninyo pa ang kaluluwa ko," added Ai Ai.
FMG also encouraged hopefuls to be braver and bolder than ever and prove that they are truly the best as he expects the competition to be on the next level this time around. "Mas technical ang judging ngayon. It's a totally different show because it's a variety show. You really don't know what to expect. I think that is the beauty of PGT."
"Pilipinas Got Talent" is indeed one of the most successful and most watched talent-reality shows on Philippine TV.
Since Baldivino won last year in June, Jovit already released two albums under Star Records, the first one hitting the Platinum record mark, and he was able to stage his first major concert at the Music Museum.
More doors also opened for other PGT season one grand finalists who are also doing well on their respective fields.
"Pilipinas Got Talent" airs Saturday and Sunday, 8:45 p.m. on ABS-CBN.
