<p>MANILA -- Professional dancer Pop &#x27;N Seb, who is well known in the Philippine dance community, failed to get his chance to be part of the next round of &quot;Pilipinas Got Talent&quot; season 7 after his act of not moving didn&#x27;t sit well with the show&#x27;s four powerful judges. </p><p>Pop &#x27;N Seb, who&#x27;s been dancing for 17 years and known for joining dance battles and even judging dance competitions, received four &quot;no&#x27;s&quot; from the judges after he decided not to move while the song &quot;The Man Who Can&#x27;t Be Moved&quot; was playing.</p><p>&quot;Napagtanto ko po na what more kung mag-try po ako ng bago, which is hindi ginagawa ng ibang dancer. Kumbaga wala pang gumagawa sa Got Talent nang wala siyang ginagawang kahit ano. Kaya manalo o matalo okay lang kasi wala akong ginawa,&quot; Pop &#x27;N Seb told judges after his no-moving performance. </p><div> </div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable fr-active" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_gKVE11cjws?&amp;t=92sautoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span> </div><div><br/></div><p>After he was also given the chance to showcase his dancing prowess and received praise for it, all the judges voted no to Pop &#x27;N Seb act.</p><p>&quot;Ano ba talaga, kuya? Kasi kung ilalaban mo &#x27;yung wala lang,  tumayo ka lang diyan. Kasi sumayaw ka magaling ka. Kung &#x27;yun ang inilaban mo, mayroon kang laban, pero kung &#x27;yon lang para maiba ay wala nang trabaho ang kumuha sa iyo,&quot; judge Freddie &quot;FMG&quot; Garcia said.</p><p>Pop &#x27;N Seb then appealed to judges to give him a chance but it was too late.</p><p>&quot;Thank you The Man Who Can&#x27;t Be Moved but it&#x27;s a no,&quot; judge Kathryn Bernardo said.</p><p>&quot;You lost your chance kasi ang galing-galing mo but just standing there and making us laugh is not really a talent so for me it&#x27;s also a no,&quot; Garcia added.</p><p>&quot;There&#x27;s more to humor you know, but here in &#x27;Pilipinas Got Talent&#x27; we want the whole thing. We want the humor, we want the talent, we want the humility, we want freshness, we want everything. But you are 100% very talented but it was too late. But I&#x27;m sure makikita ka namin sa maraming pagkakataon. But for now ang nakuha mo sa akin ay no,&#x27; judge Eugene Domingo said.</p><p>&quot;I think panalo ka na Bro kasi ginawa mo &#x27;yung act na hindi pa ever ginawa dito sa &#x27;Pilipinas Got Talent.&#x27; Ako magpapasalamat ako sa iyo  pero I think &#x27;yung ipinakita mo ay hindi pang-next stage &#x27;yon. So maraming salamat Pop &#x27;N Seb it&#x27;s a no for me,&quot; judge Donny Pangilinan said.</p><p>If Pop &#x27;N Seb missed his chance, dance group Ruthless Comrades from Taytay, Rizal and The Destroyer wowed judges with their powerful performances and received four yesses, respectively.</p><p>Mark, a student from Taguig City received four yesses with his balancing act while riding a bike.</p><p>Belle&#x27;s Duo from Leyte, Samar, got three yesses and will be moving  to the next round with their stand-up act.  </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WBkREFtMNGI?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span> </div><p>Members of Baila Trio, who are teachers, won the hearts of judges with their aerial cube performance.</p><p>Daña Ross from Tagbilaran City, Bohol received four yesses with her signing and acrobatics act.</p><p>The Sunday episode of &quot;PGT&quot; concluded with a death-defying drag act from Manza who hails from Davao de Oro.  Manza, a drag queen, successfully earned the admiration of the judges and received standing ovation and four yesses.</p><div> </div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vFm_hsoGLJQ?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Last Saturday, May 3, Amazing Duo, real-life siblings, amazed judges with their contemporary acrobatics and will be moving to the next round with three yesses.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j4xCjJ-e7l8?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><p>Anthony from Rizal made the judges laugh and is moving to the next round with his magic and comedy performance.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l17MNtD3i90?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Nestor from Taguig passed the round with his newly discovered talent which is playing &quot;torotot&quot; and singing.</p><p>Dance group Hustle N&#x27; Flow received four yesses with their intense and passionate dance act.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZJtixEz2B3Y?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>It was a nostalgic and emotional moment for the judges when Cardong Trumpo, a carpenter from Cavite, concluded PGT&#x27;s Saturday episode with his trumpo (top) act.</p><p>He received a standing ovation not only from the judges but from the studio audience as well.
