Jovit, Marcelito in talent showdown

MANILA, Philippines - Pure talent is what got them to the top. And now they are here to entertain you in a talent showdown like no other. MJM Productions in cooperation with Star Magic presents Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) champs Jovit Baldivino and Marcelito Pomoy in Jovit vs. Marcelito: A Talent Showdown on Dec. 10, 8 p.m. at the SM Sky Dome, SM North Edsa.

After winning PGT’s first season almost two years ago, Jovit has already entertained people all over the world. He has even had two major concerts at the Music Museum and Cebu Waterfront last February. He also has two record-breaking albums under his name and is preparing for a new one next year. For the 18-year-old, showbiz is “mahirap na masarap” and he hopes to have that staying power in the music industry. Jovit just arrived from a successful concert in Europe with Yeng Constantino.

Marcelito is PGT’s Season 2 winner. He just released his first album, Duet with Me, after winning the talent show last June. He is even said to give Jed Madela a run for his money as he can also hit high notes like the world singing champ. Marcelito is proud of his talent — to be able to sing male and female parts of a song — for he knows it is a rare gift. Although he has yet to have a concert of his own, he is ready to face Jovit in the singing battle on stage.

The two PGT winners will have Enrique Gil, Kathryn Bernardo, Julia Montes, PGT Season 3’s Maasinhon Trio and Khalil Ramos as guests. Tickets are available in all SM Ticketnet (tel. no. 470-2222) outlets in the metro.
