Pilipinas Got Talent: Finalists name their toughest rivals

‘Pilipinas Got Talent’ finalists name their toughest rivals. Only one among the twelve acts of Pilipinas Got Talent will be crowned as the grand winner as the top-rating reality-talent show reaches its season finale this June 12 and 13, live at the Araneta Coliseum. In a press conference, the twelve finalists named who among their fellow

.contestants they considered as their toughest rivals for the two million peso grand cash prize and the honor of being the very first Pilipinas Got Talent champion.

Ruther Urquia (ventriloquist/puppet master)
Si Jovit po at ang Ezra band po malaki ang fan base. Si Alakim naman dahil sa gravity ng act niya. I’m telling you [sa act na gagawin niya sa finals], malalaglag kayo sa mga bangko niyo.

Allan ‘Alakim’ De Paz (magician)
Ang pinaka threat na makakalaban ko pagdating sa talent e si Ruther, pero pagdating sa impact sa mga tao, marami po diyan, ang Ezra Band, Jovit, Markki, halos lahat po. Ang Baguio Metamorphosis nagulat kami kasi nag number one sila sa votes nung huling semifinals. Pero ang pinaka threat talaga sa akin e itong kaibigan ko (Ruther), kung pwede nga lang lasunin ko e…joke lang po!

Markki Stroem (singer)
Quantify the percentage of the text votes. This (PGT) is first of all based on how the people vote. Jovit had the highest votes compared to the five other contestants he was up against. When you quantify that, he is in fact the strongest competitor among all of us.

Keith Clark Delleva (electric guitar player)
Velasco Brothers po. I’ve seen them perform live at talagang grabe. Napakagaling.

Velasco Brothers (acrobat hip hop dance group)
Si Alakim. Kasi alam namin ‘yung gagawin niya sa huli (finals), ha ha ha! Nakakabilib po talaga.

Ezra Band (rock band)
Velasco Brothers po. Ang gaganda ng mga acts nila. Super extraordinary. Hindi magagawa ng karaniwan.

Sherwin Baguion (singer)
Si Jovit. Hindi lang dahil sa boto pero magaling naman talaga siya.

Luntayao Family (singers)
Siguro pagdating sa act, ang Velasco Brothers kasi mahirap talaga ‘yung ginagawa nila. Sa text votes si Jovit kasi nakita natin na malaki ‘yung nakuha niyang boto. May posibilidad talagang siya ang manalo.

Maria Jeline Oliva (violinist/pianist)
Si Alakim kasi siya lang ang magician na nakapasok sa finals. World-class po siya mag-magic.

Ingrid Payaket (classical singer)
Ang biggest threat po sa akin e ‘yung mga groups kasi siyempre multiplied ang effort.

Baguio Metamorphosis (dance group)
Si Jovit po.

Jovit Baldivino (rock singer)
Ezra Band po.
