THE BELIEVERS

A lot of people in our office are talking about a young Filipino who has earned a slot in America's Got Talent. Luigi Seno indeed has talent. I saw his performance and he stands a good chance of making an impact in the show. With his family solidly behind him, Luigi might just make it all the way to the finals.
I am however saddened by the fact that two outstanding young girls who have joined a local talent show are not generating that much talk. Known as The Believers, these two young girls sing songs from Broadway musicals. And can these two girls sing ! What makes these girls amazing is that they sing songs that are not typically being sang by teenage girls. They sing songs that only Lea Salonga or Monique Wilson will sing. Even more amazing is the fact that these two girls study in public schools and are left to research on their songs on their own.
Currently enjoying their 8th consecutive win in Talentadong Pinoy, The Believers are merely two wins away from Hall of Fame. Despite the presence of truly talented contestants every week, The Believers continue to hold their own and render winning performances. I am just a little sad that these two truly talented girls are given little notice while a talented young Filipino generates so much buzz for doing well in an American show.
