Kris Aquino is back as a judge on Pilipinas Got Talent

After initially turning down the offer, Kris Aquino has finally taken on the job as one of the three judges of the upcoming talent search, Pilipinas Got Talent. The Queen of All Media explained that to be included in a show to discover Pinoy talents was one of the factors which convinced her to sign up. “I really believe that the time is right for us to showcase kung gaano kalalim at kung gaano katatag ang talento ng mga Pinoy. So makikita natin here, kasi ang buong Pilipinas inikot. It’s about time for us to have mga bagong titingalain natin,” she explained.

She also said that it is an honor for her to be a judge alongside former ABS-CBN president Freddie M. Garcia, whom she considers her “discoverer.” “It’s really an honor for me kasi ang katabi ko nga sa pagdyi-judge is a man I truly respect. I would not be here and I would not be the host I am right now, I would not be the TV personality I am kung hindi siya ‘yung muling nagbukas ng pintuan para sa akin dito sa ABS-CBN. Halos lahat ng napapanood n’yo araw-araw at hinahangaan dito sa ABS-CBN ay dahil kay Freddie Garcia.” source abs-cbn.com
