PGT's El Gamma Penumbra Tara Na Byahe Tayo

It is given that one of the many talents of Filipinos is singing. The likes of International Singer Lea Salonga and of course, Youtube Singing Sensation and now International Young Diva, Charice Pempengco are obvious examples that we can be proud of. That is also why our first two grand winners of Pilipinas Got Talent -- Jovit Baldivino and Marcelito Pomoy stood out as well, with their powerful voices. Though Pilipinas Got Talent is sometimes criticized to becoming like a singing contest because of this, I would still be one of them, not because the two grand winners were my personal bet even since they did their auditions but the fact that they have swept away the hearts of many Filipinos.

Now, PGT is on its 3rd season and since I started viewing the auditions, I have seen a lot of singing, dancing and many other talents but I haven't been too much amazed until I saw Batangas Pride, El Gamma Penumbra aired last Saturday July 30, 2011.

They did a shadow play of promoting tourism for our country, Philippines. The musical score is from the Department of Tourism's and Bonamine's travel campaign WOW PHILIPPINES Byahe Tayo! The visuals were truly patriotic which showed our national animal - carabao, national dance - tinikling, national flower - gumamela and some Filipino way of living - nipa hut (bahay kubo), fields (bukid), tricycle, jeepney, kalesa as means of transportation and even famous monument as that of Bonifacio Monument and a lot more to see in the Philippines.

Well, I think it is still too early for me to make a bet, but if a unique and amazing performance is again to be witness from El Gamma Penumbra, then maybe this time Pilipinas Got Talent will have to show the world another amazing Filipino talent besides from singing.
