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:

Marcelito Po Moy, early favorite in Pilipinas Got Talent 2 (Video)

With more than 500 thousand total views of his audition video which was reposted by a number of users on Youtube as of this writing, 25-year old contestant Marcelito Po Moy is undeniably an early favorite in ABS-CBN's talent search franchise "Pilipinas Got Talent 2".


Marcelito Po Moy who is from Imus, Cavite amazed everyone with his Regine Velasquez-like voice despite the fact that he is a male. He sang Regine's "Narito Ako" which made the crowd crave for more. He was allowed to sing another song, this time "Sana Maulit Muli", to the grant audience's request.

When Ai-ai delas Alas made her comment, she also requested another song. And he sang a duet - "Hanggang Ngayon" by Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez! He was able to perform both the male and female parts well which impressed the judges.

Kris Aquino said, "Na-achieve mo ang something spectacular... namangha kaming lahat"

We will be seeing more of Marcelito since he is off to the next round. :D
