Indonesian illusionist wins ‘AGT2’; PH bets place 2nd and 3rd

FILIPINO viewers of the reality show, “Asia’s Got Talent Season 2,” were ecstatic, thrilled and hopeful at the same time, what with three kababayan acts out of nine making it to the final cut. But it was Indonesia’s illusionist The Sacred Riana who got the most number of votes across the continent and the $100,000-cash prize in the end.

Placing second was the all-male-dressing-as-female dance-gymnastics group from Compostela Valley in Mindanao, DM-X Comvaleñoz. Third was beatboxer Neil Rey Garcia Llanes.
