‘Asia’s Got Talent’ winners El Gamma Penumbra back in PH

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino shadow play dance group El Gamma Penumbra is back in the Philippines after their winning journey in the first season of the Southeast Asian pan-regional reality show Asia’s Got Talent.

The group arrived from Singapore Friday night, May 15, wearing jackets embossed with the Philippine flag and the word ‘Philippines.’ They gamely posed for the cameras after their arrival. 

For the past month since the show started, El Gamma Penumbra has wowed the audience with their thought-provoking and inspiring shadow play performances – from the auditions where they showcased different cultures around the world, to the grand finals where they paid tribute to mother nature. 

It was an amazing ride for the group, who received two Golden Buzzers from the judges in the auditions and in the semi-finals. (READ: PH dance troupe El Gamma Penumbra’s journey on ‘Asia’s Got Talent’)

The winner of Asia’s Got Talent is supposed to receive a cash prize of US$100,000 and get a chance to perform at the Marina Bay Sands. – Rappler.com
