Pilipinas Got Talent is a Philippine talent show, which is based on the Got Talent franchise, a British TV format conceived and owned by Simon Cowell’s SYCO company.

ABS-CBN acquired Got Talent franchise, advertising it as “the first and only nationwide talent reality show in the Philippines,” although other talent shows from other networks are currently airing with a similar format, such as Talentadong Pinoy on TV5.

Viewers are able to join through text and online registration via Internet. Auditions are held in key cities such as Manila, Cebu and Davao. Unlike Talentadong Pinoy, viewers will vote the contestants and whoever gets the highest votes, will win. In Talentadong Pinoy, there are the jury, which will decide who will win.

After six weeks of searching for the best contenders all over the country, the much-awaited reality franchise Pilipinas Got Talent is set to begin this Saturday, February 20 on Primetime Bida. Brace yourselves as it showcases a wide range of world-class acts from the usual singing, dancing, and acting pieces all the way to the bizarre, hilarious and never-before-seen performances.

Hosted by Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano, don’t miss the chance to see what the Pinoys are made of via PGT, Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 8:30 PM. Also, catch the funny moments and unseen footages in this highly-anticipated talent-reality show with Marc Abaya in “Pilipinas Got More Talent,” weekdays, 4:30 PM.
