We’re just days away from finding out who will be crowned the next <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pilipinas-got-talent-7">“Pilipinas Got Talent”</a> grand winner, and the excitement and nerves are building up as the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/6/19/eight-grand-finalists-shine-onstage-in-pilipinas-got-talent-the-final-showdown-0003">Season 7 finale</a> draws closer this June 21 and June 22. But before things get too intense, let&#x27;s lighten the mood with something fun by asking a few celebrities this question, “If you were to join Pilipinas Got Talent, what would your talent be?”Andi Abaya said she’d bring back her cheerleading skills from high school. Kobie Brown, who’s recently been doing more DJ gigs, said “PGT” would be the perfect platform to finally show a bigger audience this cool talent of his. On the other hand, Jerald Napoles already sings and cracks jokes for a living, so he figured he’d try something unexpected like dancing. And speaking of switching things up, Ken San Jose, who we all know is a dancer through and through, would go out of his comfort zone by finally showcasing his singing talent, which he’s been wanting to share with a wider audience, while Luke Alford said he’d circle back to his first love—singing.And just when you thought Regine Velasquez would automatically pick singing, too, she said she&#x27;d go for dancing instead just to serve a pasabog no one would see coming.Over at the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/6/19/emilio-daez-topbills-love-at-first-spike-on-iwant-1515">&quot;Love At First Spike&quot;</a> camp, Universe Ramos would be totally down to dance it out, Miggy Ruallo joked he’d probably do impressions, Bong Gonzales would give a makeup tutorial on stage, and Nick De Ocampo shared that he’d love to sing, even if he’d most likely get buzzed out.Meanwhile, Harvey Bautista would cook steak on stage—whether that’s &quot;Pilipinas Got Talent&quot; or &quot;MasterChef Pinoy Edition&quot; material is up for debate, but we’d definitely want a bite. Did you know that Jameson Blake was actually into beatboxing before he got serious with acting? So when asked about what talent he’d bring to the PGT stage, he imagined himself doing a full-on beatbox performance with someone dancing to his beat. Jason Dy, who already won “The Voice of the Philippines” with his vocals, said he’d want to try something different this time by showcasing his funny side through TikTok skits, and to prove it, he even gave us a sample of the viral “What hafen, Vela?” trend which he recited with no stutters at all. Edward Barber also played along and gave us a quick impression of Lilo and Stitch.Some stars would stick to the talents they’re best known for, like AC Bonifacio who’d go for dancing but with some juggling elements. Darren Espanto knows his edge is singing, which he calls his “sureball, pangmalakasan” talent, but he&#x27;d level it up with something more daring, like singing while spinning inside a cyr wheel just like the stunt he pulled off during <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime/articles-videos/watch-the-its-showtime-hosts-huge-wild-reactions-to-team-vhong-ion-darren-amys-jaw-dropping-magpasikat-2024-act-23607">“It’s Showtime”’s Magpasikat 2024.</a>TJ Monterde is keeping it close to home, too, and said he’d still go for singing. Jeremy G also leans into his musical side, but instead of just singing, he wants to showcase on-the-spot songwriting. KZ Tandingan revealed that she once auditioned for “Pilipinas Got Talent,” and while she didn’t make it in, the universe clearly had other plans because she ended up winning “The X Factor Philippines.”<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab">&quot;Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition&quot;</a> evictees Xyriel Manabat and Vince Maristela realized a brand-new skill inside Kuya’s house during <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/5/21/pbb-collab-jam-packed-weekend-with-the-big-carnival-concert-plus-ralph-and-charlies-return-0140">The Big Carnival Concert</a> where they both tried their hand at juggling and plate-spinning, and now they’re convinced those could actually be “PGT” material if given the chance.And when you&#x27;ve got the charm, flaunt it! Jeremiah Lisbo would probably serenade the audience and make them fall in love, same with Elyson de Dios who would bank on his boy-next-door vibe plus a song. Alexa Ilacad would flex her sweet singing voice, but joked that she’d need a little charm to snag a Golden Buzzer moment.Jona would go for an adrenaline-pumping motocross performance. Emilio Daez thought of doing a basketball stunt showcase. Dylan Yturralde, who was actually a volleyball athlete before entering showbiz through <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024">&quot;PBB Gen 11,&quot;</a> said he’d bring his volleyball game back to life on the “PGT” stage.Of course, there&#x27;s always room for comedy and quirky tricks on “Pilipinas Got Talent,” just like Robi Domingo, the “PGT” host himself, who would showcase his unique ability to move his ears without touching them. Iñigo Pascual claimed his best trick is bending the bones in his fingers in the weirdest way. JC de Vera and JM Ibarra jestingly bragged about their singing talents. But nothing tops RK Bagatsing’s so-called “talent&quot; of blowing bubbles through his saliva. &quot;Thirty-seven bubbles per minute,&quot; he quipped. Binsoy Namoca said he’d do absolutely anything to win, even if that means flying.You never really know what kind of pasabog a “PGT” contestant might bring, and these celebrities understood the assignment.Catch the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pilipinas-got-talent-7">&quot;PGT” Season 7</a> Grand Finals airing at 7:15 PM this June 21 and June 22 on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and A2Z.
