Pilipinas Got Talent Winner: Jovit Baldivino

I am a fun of Pilipinas Got Talent show. It showcases several talents of the Filipino people. The jurors are Ai-Ai delas Alas, Kris Aquino, and Freddie M. Garcia aka FMG with the show host Luis Mazano and Billy Crawford.

The show started roaming around the entire Philippines to look for the most qualified Filipino to won PHP 2,000,000. There are several auditions made from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The mechanics of the contest is very easy; you just need to get 2 out of 3 votes to be qualified on the next level. Luckily, Jovit Baldivino got three yeses from the three judges singing the song “Faithfully” original by Arnel Penida, lead singer or the band “Journey”. From that time on, Jovit captured the heart of the Filipino people local and OFW, he then becomes the YouTube sensation. Almost all the people in the Philippines waited for the next round to hear Jovit sing again.

Round 2 had started and Jovit was again chosen to be one in the 36 contestants chosen by the Big 3 judges. These 36 contestants will again compete with each other down to 12 finalists.

For the round 3, each contestant will perform and the public will have the chance to vote who’s to be in included in the top 3. The top one will be automatically qualified for the final round and the top 2 and top 3 will again perform and the judges then will have to choose either of the two to proceed to the finals. This is performed every Saturday, 6 contestants will showcase their talent and only two will be chosen. In this round, Jovit choose the song “Carrie”, he got standing ovation from the 3 judges plus the crowd. The crowd goes wild and scheme. They couldn’t believe a 16 year old boy which is very small body but a very big, clear, beautiful voice. Jovit indeed had a great voice, which is the difference from good singers to great singers. Many and many more become fun of Jovit which they called themselves “Jovitnatics”. Jovit got the highest vote and qualified for Grand Finals.

The Grand Finals was held last June 12, 2010 joint celebration with Independence Day. He presented number 6 with his winning piece “Too Much Love Will Kill You” by Queen. Again, the audience gets crazy and wild. After he presented, everyone watching PGT already knows who will be the winner.

On June 13, 2010 (Sunday), was the announcing of winners. Top 3 has been called namely: Baguio Metamorphosis, Velasco Bros, and no other than Jovit Baldivino. The non-winning participants takes home PHP 50,000 while top 2 and top 1 will receive PHP 100,000. The Velasco Bros won the 2nd place and Baguio Metamorphosis for the 1st place.

Jovit Baldivino declared as the first ever Pilipinas Got Talent Winner and was able to received PHP 2,000,000 plus a contract to ABS-CBN. He got 48.9% of the total votes. People were very happy and satisfied. There is no doubt that Jovit got what it takes to be the Filipino who got talent.
