Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2
Grand Finals (Results Night)
June 26, 2011

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 has concluded Sunday night with the announcement of winner in Araneta Coliseum, the same venue where the 14 grand finalists showcased their talents on Saturday to win the public votes.

The votes have been counted and the Season 2 grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent has been revealed.

Singer Marcelito Pomoy took center stage tonight as he was announced as the finalist with the highest vote percentage (19.56%) becoming Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Winner.

The 25-year-old Male Diva and former construction worker from Cavite took home a cash prize of P2 million.

It wasn't a landslide victory for Marcelito unlike in PGT Season 1 when Jovit Baldivino, also a singer, won bigtime with 48.41% of the votes, over Baguio Metamorphosis with a very far 15.39%.

This season's 2nd placer, the tap dancing duo Happy Feet composed of brothers Ramonito and Lolito Mata, came so close to Marcelito. Happy Feet got 18.32% of the votes and as the runner-up, they received P100,000 cash prize.

But with 19.56% and 18.32% respectively, Marcelito and Happy Feet were the clear top choices by most viewers as the rest of the finalists only got below 10% of the votes.

Dance group Freestylers from Calamba, Laguna was named 3rd Placer with 9.46% and also won P100,000 cash.

The rest of the 14 grand finalists were awarded P50,000 cash prize.
