An early favorite, Marcelito outshone the other 13 finalists during the Grand Finals of the popular weekend show, which was held last Satuday night at the Araneta Coliseum, by performing a flawless rendition of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli's duet of "The Prayer", singing both the female and male parts distinctly. After an overnight online and text voting, Marcelito earned more than 19 percent of the total votes which was enough to win the competition. Happy Feet, the tap dancing duo from Bukidnon, and Freestylers, a dance crew from Laguna came in second and third, respectively.

Jem Cubil asked for Cebu Governor's support?

Jem Cubil reportedly asked for Cebu governor Gwen Garcia's support. The Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 (PGT 2) grand finalist said to have approached the Governor personally, according to Cebu-based newspaper Sun Star.

Seventeen-year old acoustic singer Jem Cubil is from Talisay, Cebu. He hurdled the PGT eliminations easily with his talent and charm. He trended on Twitter during his Semi-finals performance and made it to Yahoo! trends on June 19 after the show made a special feature of him and other grand finalists Saturday night. A Facebook fan page of his also attracted more than 13,000 fans already.

These only mean that the teen singer has a fan based already. Asking for more support from his home-province would make him do good in the final results of the Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Finals wherein the winner will be chosen based on the text voting outcome.

Jem Cubil of Pilipinas Got Talent 2 | Photos and Videos

Jem Cubil, born Jose Emmanuel Cubil, is a contestant in the ongoing Pilipinas Got Talent Season Season 2 (PGT 2). The teen singer is currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering at University of San Carlos in Cebu.

Seventeen-year-old Jem who hails from Talisay, Cebu, made it to the Twitter Top Trends (Philippines) on May 14 after his performance of David Cook's "Time Of My Life" during the Semi-finals of the talent search on ABS-CBN, PGT2. (To all the girls out there..) During the show, he revealed that he is single and likes girls who are simple and with great smile. He also finds girls with braces hot, according to one of his wall posts on Facebook. :D

Meanwhile, here are some pictures and videos of PGT 2's Jem Cubil:

Pilipinas Got Talent 2 Semifinals: Angel Calalas, the Hula Hoop Tricker from Rizal (Video)

Pilipinas Got Talent 2's second batch of semi-finalists battled it out earlier on stage for a spot in the Grand Finals. Tonight's live episode showcased six contestants namely Virgilio Del Carmen, B4, Skeights, the Lapinid sisters, Fernan “Madonna Pianista” Santuyo and Angel Calalas.

For Noypi, the highlight of tonight's show would have to be the breathtaking hula hoop trick performed by 22-year-old Angel Calalas from Cainta, Rizal. Everyone was amazed when she used fire this time around which she did not during her audition. She was also lifted in air while doing the hula hoop! Whew! Since she was well received by many viewers as evidenced by several talks in social media sites, for sure, Angel of PGT 2 will get an instant spot on the Grand Finals through the text votes or maybe a 'save' from the judges if in case some other contestants would do better on SMS voting. If not, this would be another disappointment just like what many felt when Rico the Magician wasn't selected, last week. Whew!

By the way, found a video of Angel Calalas Pilipinas Got Talent 2 Semi-Finals Performance on Youtube. Check it out below:
