Optimist Sees Difficulty as an Opportunity

In the Philippine Daily Inquirer Newspaper, particularly in the Entertainment section last June 28, 2011, told about the story of Marcelito Pomoy, the Grand Champion of ABS-CBN’s reality show Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2. He is a simple man from Imus, Cavite who used his God-given gift well to show to the world what Filipino talent truly is and to fulfill his own dream. Before he won in PGT contest, he was just a low-profile singer who used to join singing contests in the province.

Marcelito, who comes from a broken family whose members got separated due to poverty, was able to get a dark part of his life work to his advantage. While he joined PGT to pursue his dream, he was very optimist that he used the opportunity to reunite his loved ones. He looks at his family situation, though difficult, as an opportunity to express himself through singing.

Last June 26, 2011, Marcelito became the grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 because of his remarkable world-class performance, his being able to render a high pitched perfect male and female voice combination coupled with a well-thought choice of song, which gave audience some amazement.

He has the "wow" factor in singing. What makes it “wow” is his life story that completes his talent package. More than that, one could trace that factor from the difficulties he experienced especially his life in Bislig, Surigao del Sur, to Imus, Cavite where he started his journey to find his loved ones until his quest in Pilipinas Got Talent paved the way for his family to be back in each other's arms once again.

            Indeed, optimist (like Marcelito Pomoy) sees difficulty as an opportunity.
