Filipinos prove they’ve got more talent

Hundreds of talented performers – from a cultural troupe of 22 to an umbrella-wielding dancing grandpa – brought their A-game to the open auditions recently held in Manila for a chance to secure their shot at international fame on the third instalment of Asia’s Got Talent.

“The Philippines has a proven track record of success on Asia’s Got Talent with El Gamma Penumbra winning the first season and DMX Comvalenoz as runner up in season 2. We expected the best from the Philippines and the acts certainly exceeded our expectations at the open auditions with their high level of passion, talent and enthusiasm,” said Derek Wong, vice president for Production of Sony Pictures Television Networks Asia.

“Each act has a compelling story that’s waiting to be told and we are looking forward to discovering the next Pinoy star this season,” he added.

For those who have missed their opportunity to showcase their talent, the regional audition tour will be making stops in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur this coming weekend. Online auditions are still ongoing at www.AXN-Asia.com/AsiasGotTalent until July 9.
