“Pilipinas Got Talent” returns for its seventh season to discover new talents and make dreams come true. During the show’s media conference last Wednesday (March 19), Kathryn Bernardo, Donny Pangilinan, Eugene Domingo and Freddie M. Garcia opened up about what they look for in a contestant, what kind of performances they expect and how it feels to have the chance to change a person’s life.
“Asia’s Superstar” and new judge Kathryn expressed how her decisions can make or break a person’s dream.
“At the end of the day, iisipin ko if tama ‘yung mga nabigay kong advice sa mga contestant. Pati na din ‘yung mga yes at no naibigay ko that day. Meron kasi kaming power to change a person’s dream or to make that dream come true. So our ‘Yes,’ it’s so powerful. And it’s also so hard to say ‘No,’” Kathryn shared.
Former ABS-CBN president Freddie “FMG” M. Garcia, who is heading the panel of judges again, shared his excitement about discovering new talent in the show’s seventh season.
“Marami nang bagong technology ngayon na pwede ma-incorporate sa mga talent ng magpe-perform sa ‘PGT.’ Sure enough, the talents that we have right now have leveled up. I would say that they could be compared to world-class acts,” FMG said.
When asked about what he expects from the contestants, “New Gen Matinee Idol” Donny Pangilinan said that he looks forward to performances that would “move the room.” “The type of performance na after niyo mapanood, magsi-shift ‘yung environment,” he added.
Meanwhile, “Comedy Star For All Seasons” Eugene Domingo had high praises for “PGT.” “When this show landed on my lap, I just thought that this is the best and most entertaining show. This is everything. This is entertainment, this is talent, and this is Filipino. What more can you ask for?” she said.
Hosting this season are Robi Domingo and Melai Cantiveros, who promise to keep viewers entertained through their comedic antics, as well as their discovery of inspirational and hopeful stories of the contestants. Wize Estabillo and Lorraine Galvez will also bring fun moments as hosts for the online show “PGT Exclusives.”
“Pilipinas Got Talent” is the Philippines’ biggest talent reality competition that opens its stage to Filipinos of all ages and backgrounds to showcase their unique skills in singing, dancing, and variety acts such as magic, comedy, acrobatics, and many more. These acts will compete with each other until one is declared the grand winner.
The show also tells the stories of these individuals, celebrating the rich talent, creativity, and perseverance of Filipinos, offering a platform to inspire and prove the power of dreams. And in its 7th Season, PGT will not only be a golden display of new and exciting acts but also feature a brand-new set of hosts and judges, bringing a fresh new dynamic to the program.
