Jovit Baldivino: From selling ’siomai’ to stardom

Manila Bulletin – Monday, June 14

“Hay salamat, mukhang ito may talent talaga,” judge Kris Aquino blurted when she first saw Jovit Baldivino walk towards the “Pilipinas Got Talent” stage for his audition.

Her gut feel was right — the 16-year old Batangueño would eventually win legions of fans and become the first grand prize winner in the talent search.

Out of the 12 finalists who battled it out during the grand finals at the Araneta Coliseum on June 12, the small-town boy with the “God-given” voice proved he not only has the pipes reminiscent of Journey frontman Arnel Pineda, but, as Kris puts it, he has “charisma.
