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"
