PGT's Jovit Baldivino hopes to work with his idol Arnel Pineda


When asked about the first thing he would like to do with his P2-million cash prize for being the first-ever Pilipinas Got Talent Grand Winner, Jovit Baldivino replied, “Bibili po ng lupa kasi naninirikan lang po kami. Tapos magpapagawa na po ng bahay.”The 16-year-old aspiring singer also added that he plans to continue with his studies while working on his singing career. His manager, Joy Maranan, revealed to ABS-CBN.com that Jovit will soon start to record songs for his debut album and that some producers have expressed interest to have Jovit perform abroad.As to his other dreams of the moment, Jovit was happy to hear that his idol Arnel Pineda had expressed his interest in performing a duet with the PGT champion. “Tuwang-tuwa po ako kasi po idol ko po ‘yung ma-kaka-duet ko. Sa lahat po talaga ng singers dito sa Pilipinas, siya po ‘yung parehas po kami ng kinakanta,” said Jovit.Jovit shared that when Arnel started to gain recognition as the vocalist of the American group Journey, he began to look up to him and he would sing the songs of the band. “Kasi nagustuhan ko po siya dahil sa boses niya, kasi po ang mga kinakanta ko katulad po ng kay Arnel, slow rock. Si Arnel po ang [sikat] kumakanta ng slow rock sa Pilipinas.” Jovit’s singing piece when he auditioned for PGT was a rendition of Journey’s song, “Faithfully,” which also earned Jovit three million hits on YouTube. He further added that he would not mind following the footsteps of Arnel in terms of making an international career.Since he never had any formal training in singing, Jovit is also planning to get professional training to enhance and to take care of his singing voice.
