San Carlos got Lumina 
Official PGT Quarter Finalist calls for a massive support
By Hernor De Asis and

                San Carlos’ pride, group previously known as ‘Synergy’, takes on another journey as they once again impressed the three judges of Pilipinas Got Talent: Ms. Aiai De las Alas, Ms. Kris Aquino, and Mr. FMG which led them to their way to the season’s quarter finals. The Philippines now knows the group as ‘Lumina’ which consists of three versatile aerialist: Junrey Maantos, Bethany Monique Turtor and Julie Ann Loar.
                “Ang concept po kasi namin ay hango sa liwanag. Sumali po kami sa PGT para maibahagi ang talent namin at para maipakita po sa buong mundo kung kaya ng mga foreign performers ang makagawa ng kakayahan namin, mas kaya rin ng mga Pinoy. Kahit naman mahirap, kahit marami na tayong pinagdaanan, may nasusugatan na sa atin, hindi naman tayo susuko ‘di ba?”- the group said in an inspiring VTR played before they went on their audition performance. They performed with a hoop suspended with them on air. Backstage, were 15 more people making sure the three performers on stage got to fly. “Kinse sila para humatak!” exclaimed the show’s host, Mr. Billy Crawford who was then very impressed with the group’s teamwork. With their performance, Lumina was able to make the crowd fly with them. The judges and the audience gasped on each breath-taking stunt they did on air. Lumina successfully managed to be graceful as a dancing light throughout their stunning performance.
                Last PGT season, Sancarlosenios crossed their fingers for the group’s triumph that was able to reach the finals. With the three judges’ ‘yes!’ it is indeed a new chance for the group as they move on to the quarter finals with their choreographer, Mr. Michael Valiente. Not only does this give us a reason to stay tuned on the program, this also proves that San Carlos City really has talent.
                To vote for Lumina for the Quarter Finals this coming April 27-28, 2013 at PAGCOR  Manila, text PGT LUMINA and send to 2331 for Globe and TM subscribers or send to 231 for Smart, Talk N Text and Sun Cellular subscribers.
Polaris, a star fallen
                Another Group consists of three talented students also coming from Julio Ledesma National High School and also members of the Synergy Dance Crew, failed to be part of the quarter finalists since during the judges’ cull, the panel of adjudicators decided to choose the best performance among the two groups (Lumina or Polaris), and the opportunity was given to Lumina.  There is no denying that both groups indeed wowed the audiences and exhibited a world class performance. Polaris received good feedbacks from different social media networks by their unique combination of pole dancing and tango.
