pilipinas got talent: leoniel & elizabeth and marcelito reaches the finals; wildcard round announced

dancing partners leoniel enopia & elizabeth dazo from bacolod city and singer marcelito pomoy of cavite bacame the 11th and 12th grand finalists respectively of pilipinas got talent. leoniel & elizabeth got the highest number of votes after saturday night's performance, getting 34.06% of the votes.

the next two highest vote getters were the singing group joy's diva from batangas (28.58%) and cavite's pride marcelito (23.71%). both acts performed again for the judges. all three judges favored marcelito to go through to the grand finals.

other semifinalists in this last group were the returning kapidamu band, acrobatic group larvae and singer suwahib samplidan.

these are also the 2 acts that i picked to advance to the grand finals. what was surprising was that marcelito did not get the top spot in terms of votes after having the highest media and digital exposure in the internet. so this only proves that voting for your favorite is really important, do not be complacent.

it was also announced that next week will be a wild card week. all the acts that got into the top 2 or 3 in the text votes in the past 6 weeks but was not chosen by the judges will return and again battle it out for another 2 slots in the grand finals, making the final grand finalist count to 14. the 6 returning acts are:

from week 2: skeights, a band from davao city
from week 3: collins gutierrez, a singer from laguna
from week 4: the next generation band from davao city
from week 5: singer kenny padalla from baguio city
