Pilipinas Got Talent

Pilipinas Got Talent (known and abbreviated as PGT) is a Philippine television reality competition show broadcast by ABS-CBN, Kapamilya Channel, TV5 and All TV. The show is based on the British reality television franchise Got Talent. Originally hosted by Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford, it aired on the network's Yes Weekend! line up on February 20, 2010. Robi Domingo and Melai Cantiveros serve as the final hosts for the seventh season.

The first season aired on ABS-CBN from February 20 to June 23, 2010. A second and a third season aired back to back from February 26 to October 23, 2011. The fourth season aired from February 16 to June 8, 2013, with the fifth season aired from January 23 to May 22, 2016. The sixth season aired from January 6 to April 29, 2018. The seventh season aired on Kapamilya Channel from March 29 to June 22, 2025.

To date, there have been seven winners: Jovit Baldivino, Marcelito Pomoy, the Maasinhon Trio, Roel Manlangit, Power Duo, Kristel de Catalina, and Cardong Trumpo. The first four are singing acts, while the two are interpretative dance acts, and the latter is non-singing or dance act.

ABS-CBN acquired the Got Talent franchise on 2009, advertising it as "the first nationwide talent reality show in the Philippines," although other talent shows from other networks are aired with a similar format, such as Talentadong Pinoy on TV5.

A spin-off of the format, announced in 2023, GMA acquired the French version of the Got Talent format, Battle of the Judges.

Anyone can join and showcase their talents in the audition. At the sound of four (three, in seasons 1–4) buzzers from the judges, the auditionees are asked to stop their act. With at least three (two, in seasons 1–4) approval votes from the judges, they are automatically in the list for Judges Cuts, where judges have to pick only 36 acts (Golden Acts are included in the list, starting with the fifth season) that will move to the semi-finals. Acts will compete against each other to gain the audience's support and win the prize money as well as the title of Pilipinas Got Talent.

Viewers can join through text and online registration via the Internet. Auditions are held in key cities such as Manila, Baguio, Batangas, Cebu, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro.

This is the competition's first round. Major auditions were held in major Philippine cities. Since the second season, in addition to the major auditions, there have been mini-auditions held in various provinces and cities throughout the Philippines and judged by the Pilipinas Got Talent staff. This round is held several months before the auditions for the judges. Contestants can also audition online by submitting their audition video through the show's official website. Acts who advance to the next round must audition in front of the judges and a live audience.
