MANILA, Philippines - Jovit Baldivino is the first grand winner of ABS-CBN's nationwide talent show "Pilipinas Got Talent" (PGT).
Baldivino got 48.81% or almost half of the total votes, besting 11 other finalists. He now gets to take home a whopping P2 million.


"Una nagpapasalamat po ako sa lahat ng Batangueno po na sumuporta sa akin. Sa mga kamag-anak ko po at pamilya, lalong lalo na sa Jovitnatics fans club. Sa TFC subscribers, maraming maraming salamat po," the 16-year-old singer said.
Kris Aquino, one of PGT's judges, said Baldivino can now be part of any ABS-CBN show he wants -- a teleserye (soap opera) alongside Sarah Geronimo, musical variety show "ASAP XV," or noontime variety show "Wowowee."
"Saan mo gusto maging parte?" Aquino said. Baldivino replied: "Lahat po."
The results of the voting were announced on Sunday night at the Araneta Coliseum, and was aired live on ABS-CBN Channel 2.
The star-studded results night was hosted by Luis Manzano and Iya Villania.

Jovit Baldivino: The Golden Voice

• Upon hearing the audition of Jovit Baldivino in the "Pilipinas Got Talent" search, I was convinced he is a rare talent with a simple wish and nice disposition in life. The hair rising rendition of the song made me stopped and take a closer look. I listened to the song and the voice and the inspiration why the boy is singing made me admire him more. It almost surpassed the rendition of “journey” the original American rock band who sang the song originally.

A Sensation overnight
The shy boy who has a golden voice became a household name instantly

• After one day after he sang the song Jovit Baldivino became a sensation at you tube and other social sites and people are talking about him. The video of Baldivino’s audition has been uploaded on YouTube and it has been it has been viewed more than 500, 000 plus times and still catching viewers.
• What made him more interesting are his answer to the interview questions, why he joined the search, what are his other activities and his answering the question about his intentions in joining the search.

Jovit Baldivino came from a humble beginning, his dreams and his nice disposition in life

• A boy who was born to a poor parents, he joined the search to help his family and to become a good example among the youth.
• He needs to sell fresh Chinese dimsum (a kind of roll) at the market after his classes to augment family income.
• His simple wish is to finish studies and his own little way help his parents. Thus his attempt to join and win the search.
• The shy boy from Batangas, Philippines said his goal is to finish his studies and, if given a chance, become a popular singer
• He stated that even if he will not win the contest he is glad to be able to show the world what he got and what a true Filipino is -- that was so touching

Jovit Valdivinos' journey is still beginning and as he fulfill his dreams he continue to inspire everybody. This is a tribute to him and to all those who have simple dreams, wishes for his family to transcend poverty and have the power to make them come true. I like it a fact that he wants to finish his studies and do everything that he can to also share to the world what the Filipino can do. At a young age, he knows what he wants to accomplish. He simply inspires everyone.
