Pilipinas Got Talent on city tour

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN’s Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) was a success and was the most talked-about on Twitter during its final results night last month at Araneta Coliseum. The tag Pilipinas Got Talent was first on Twitter trending topics even way ahead of the much-anticipated 2010 FIFA World Cup. When PGT held its grand finals, the show reached Top 2 of Twitter trending list.

Pilipinas Got Talent began last February. It is based on the Got Talent franchise, a British format conceived and owned by Simon Cowell’s SYCO company.

The combined fan base of the six artists in their Facebook account totals hundreds of thousands in a short span of time and still growing fast. Their YouTube hits now total several millions.
