"Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3" Premieres July 9, 2011

Just two short weeks after the grand finals, Pilipinas Got Talent is coming back for its third season tomorrow, July 9, 2011. It's the first back-to-back season for a Got Talent franchise which is conceived and owned by Simon Cowell's SYCO company.

Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford will reprise their hosting duties, as well as the judges Kris Aquino, Ai-Ai de las Alas, and Freddie Garcia.

Pilipinas Got Talent visited more than 40 provinces for this season. There are also online auditions where the hopefuls are asked to upload their videos in the show's website. Now, that's a tedious job of hunting for the country's most talented, no?

Who will follow the footsteps of season one's Jovit Baldivino and season two's Marcelito Pomoy and win P2 million?

Watch Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 every Saturday at 9 PM and every Sunday at 8:30 PM beginning tomorrow, July 9, 2011.

Marcelito Pomoy Wins PGT Season 2

Marcelito Pomoy was declared champion of ABS-CBN's Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 held June 26, 2011 at the Araneta Coliseum. He won P2 million in cash prize by getting 19.56% of votes, the highest among the 14 finalists.

Marcelito Pomoy wowed the audience with his performance last June 25th. He sang The Prayer, an Andrea Bocelli and Celin Dion original duet. He did both the male and female parts so well that you'd think it was a real woman singing the female parts.

First runner-up was the tap dancing Mata brothers collectively known as the Happy Feet. They got 18.22% of votes, just 1.34% short from Marcelito's.

Landing in the third spot was Freestylers, a dance act from Calamba, Laguna. They got 9.46% of the total votes, so far from what Happy Feet got.

It would be now safe to say that the battle was only between Marcelito Pomoy and Happy Feet. And since it's again a singer who won this season, we can also say that we Pinoys really love singing acts more than anything else.

The complete ranking of the 14 grand finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2:

1. Marcelito Po Moy – 19.36%
2. Happy Feet – 18.22%
3. Freestylers – 9.46%
