Pilipinas Got Talent is an
upcoming Philippine talent show,
which will be shown on ABS-CBN. It is based on the Got Talent franchise, a
British TV format conceived and owned by Simon Cowell's SYCO company. "Pilipinas"
is the Filipino word for Philippines.
ABS-CBN acquired Got Talent franchise, advertising it as "the first and only
nationwide talent reality show in the Philippines," although other talent shows
from other networks are currently airing with a similar format, such as
Talentadong Pinoy on TV5.
Pilipinas Got Talent will be
hosted by Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano. Kris Aquino, who was earlier tapped
for the hosting gig, backed out from judging at first but she announced at an
episode on SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon that she has resumed her judging duties.
Viewers can now join through text and online registration via Internet.
Pilipinas Got Talent will air on ABS-CBN on 2010. |

Actor-host Luis Manzano and international artist Billy
Crawford shared their excitement with their first hosting
job together.
Manzano and Crawford are the hosts of ABS-CBN's newest
talent show, "Pilipinas Got Talent."
“He is my fellow Kanto Boy and it’s always a blast working
with him. I think we are two of the most makulit na hosts on
TV. Individually pa lang makulit na kami, paano kaya if we
are together doing a show?” said Manzano, a self confessed
fan of “Britain’s Got Talent (BGT).”
Crawford chimed in: “It’s a pleasure to work with an old
friend of mine. We are definitely going to have fun doing
the show. We are not really working this time. It’s just
boys will be boys and we are just enjoying our time
together. And we are definitely excited to do the show.”
Manzano and Crawford will be the counterpart of “BGT” hosts
Ant and Dec. They will be using their wits, humor, and charm
as they guide PGT hopefuls throughout their journey and
perform before a set of judges.
“One thing about the show is anything goes. Kung ano ang
kaya mong ipakita sa buong Pilipinas we welcome it. We
believe that Philippines has so much talent. Now, it’s their
time to shine talaga,” Manzano said.
PGT will hold its first audition at Lyceum of the
Philippines University-Batangas this coming November 6, 7
and 8. There will also be auditions in Cebu on November 11,
12, and 13.
In Baguio, the auditions will be on November 19, 20, 21;
Cagayan De Oro on November 25, 26, and 27; Davao on November
30, December 1 and 2; and in Manila on December 5,6,12 and
13. |
