Ryan hosts Bangon Talentadong Pinoy

During this pandemic, more and more Filipinos are turning to their many skills and talents to bounce back. Resilience is not just a trait, it’s a talent. And now, there is a digital TV program that celebrates the many ways Filipinos are proving this: Bangon Talentadong Pinoy (BTP) hosted by Ryan Agoncillo (photo). Based on the No. 1 hit program Talentadong Pinoy that dominated TV ratings from 2008 to 2014, BTP showcases the diversity of Filipino talent, this time boasting a total cash prize of P2.8M, a larger number of contestants can win anywhere from P2,000 to

P5,000 to P50,000 even up to P250,000. Ryan returns to host the program which will now be seen both online and on TV via Cignal’s new free-to-air channel, OneTV! “Now, more than ever, people need a show like this,” Ryan explained. “At first, I wasn’t keen on doing something that I have already done before, but I was convinced when I heard the new concept for the show and the goal of bringing hope and financial reward to people at a time when they need it most.”

To join, contestants just need to like the BTP Facebook page, then through a private message to the page, send the videos of their performance – be it a solo, duo or group performance. If the video is too big, they can also send links of their videos. If they are shortlisted by the selection committee, they will be contacted and be given further details. BTP will be produced by Cignal TV through The IdeaFirst Company. The original team of Talentadong Pinoy will return: From director Rich Ilustre, writer Paolo Bustamante and producers Perci Intalan, Malou Escio-Gascon and Dacky Dacanay. But this time, creative direction will come from acclaimed filmmaker Jun Robles Lana. BTP is screening contestants and will go into production in July.
