Amazing Jing for Life: Jovit Baldivino more than just a Champ

Jovit Baldivino more than just a Champ

Jovit Baldivino was my best "bet" for the "Pilipinas Got Talent" (PGT) Season 1. Of course, we all know that he deserves his title as the 1st PGT grand champion, right? But have you ever wondered knowing the "real" Jovit behind his every success?

Pinoy singing champ Jovit Baldivino dedicates his newest album, “OPM’s Greatest: Volume 1” to his Filipino fans all over the world who have remained faithful to him since his “Pilipinas Got Talent” days.

“Nagpapasalamat po ako na marami ang sumusuporta sa akin. Hindi po sila bumitaw mula pa noong nagsisimula ako sa “Pilipinas Got Talent,” Jovit said. “Malaking bahagi po sila ng tagumpay ko at alay ko sa kanila ang lahat ng ginagawa ko, lalo na po ang third album ko,” he added.

Just recently, Jovit was presented with a triple platinum award for his debut album “Faithfully” and platinum award for his second record titled “I’d Do Anything For Love.”

Jovit was the first grand winner of ABS-CBN’s hit nationwide reality talent search, “PGT.” Just as lucky and blessed as he is another feather in his cap was added; he was named “Best New Artist” by Aliw Awards in 2010. Some of Jovit’s hit songs include “Faithfully,” “Too Much Love Will Kill You,” “Ika’y Mahal Pa Rin,” and “Mula Sa Puso.”

Being the “bread winner” of his family, Jovit was very happy to share us that he has slowly making their dreams come into reality. Their new bungalow house is being constructed in Batangas and his three siblings are studying in a private school. The talented singer talked about his future plans, as soon as his siblings are stable and settled, he hopes to take up law or engineering.

He doesn’t mind being compared to PGT Season 2 grand winner, Marcelito Pomoy, for he considers him a friend and not a competitor. According to Jovit, they both came in the music industry at a different time and had their respective titles in different seasons. For him, his family is his first priority.

Good news never seems to keep coming for this great singer from Batangas, he now has his third album released under Star Records. It features a compilation of his heartfelt renditions of ten well-loved Pinoy classics including its carrier single “Tell Me,” which was originally sung in the 80’s by Joey Albert.

To add more OPM hit songs to his album, they've also included "Forevermore," "Make Believe," "Only Me and You," "Someone's Always Saying Goodbye," "Forever's Not Enough," "My Love Will See You Through" and "Say You'll Never Go."
