Pilipinas Got Talent premieres today

MANILA, Philippines - A blind girl playing the piano, brothers 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 out for as Pinoys once again show the world what they’ve got in the second season of Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) premiering today on ABS-CBN.

The search is on once more for that world-class act worthy of winning the P2M cash prize and getting that once-in-a-lifetime shot at stardom just like Jovit Baldivino who is now living the dream and making a mark in the industry with his music.

 As PGT returns on air, so are its wacky hosts Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford who are 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 delas Alas and Freddie 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 pieces of 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 niyo 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.”
