defining talented Ilonggos

Cherry and 3nity performs new track @ Baryo Got Talent

Talent, how do we define it? Some people say it is an innate gift. Others just declare it as a skill that an individual can develop with constant practice. Both statements are true. Yes, people have different talents and gifts that make life meaningful. Throughout history, talents and innate skills of people contribute to the betterment of our society and life in general.

In these modern times, talents and God-given gifts of people are often seen on TV with the rise of talent shows like Britain’s Got Talents and the popularity crossed all over the world. Pilipinas Got Talent’s first grand winner, Jovit Baldivino became an instant superstar with his powerful singing voice this year. And the sensation never ends as the talent show inspired Angelbert Diocena, a close friend of Cherry Callao and the rest of the Ilonggo 3nity to organize the same show in time for their community’s weeklong fiesta celebration on August 13. Then, Baryo Got Talent was conceptualized and born in Bo. Obrero, one of the biggest barangays located in the district of La Paz in Iloilo City, Philippines.

In search for the most unique, the best and the brightest talents in Bo. Obrero, the organizers scheduled two elimination auditions last July 17 and 24. So far, the elimination judges had chosen 12 grand finalists to complete on the grand finals night on August 11, 8PM at Bo. Obrero Public Plaza. Each grand finalist was carefully and meticulously chosen by the judges to carry the “x-factor” appeal and carry the pride of the community. There will be a widescreen presentation of their stories and talents on the finals night to make it more relevant.

So how about Cherry and her group, the Ilonggo 3nity? Do they have a part in the show? Well, first and foremost, rslphoenix music, the show’s co-organizer chooses not to let them join the competition since they are elevated already as an Ilonggo recording artists. Second, they will become an inspiration for the contestants as Ilonggo artists who are passionate with their talents. Finally, they will be treated as special guest performers in the show by debuting their first group single (this is something that people should wait). The group was newly-founded by rslphoenix music team not only as trio of singers but as music artists with distinct personalities and specialties in music. That reminds us of the Spice-Girls-meets-Backstreet-Boys+LadyGaga Ilonggo style, hehe.

Anyway, real talent counts most in proving who will be the best on stage. But then, talent needs the heart, too, to know its real strength and power because it is rooted from passion. And passion is about dreaming what you hoped for in life, trust us.

Come and see the show on August 11, 8PM at Bo. Obrero Public Plaza. Though it’s just a community a small event, it means a lot for Sheila and the Ilonggo 3nity because it will be the start of their artistic statement as a pop group. It’s free so why not try to see them and the show live!
