The countdown begins for the semifinal round of the United Kingdom's primetime program, "Britain's Got Talent" (BGT).
Two Filipino performers will try to push their luck, after both received a rare standing ovation during their separate taped auditions for the program.
Single mom Madonna Decena and 11-year-old Charlie Green met each other for the first time during a courtesy call with Ambassador Edgardo Espiritu and Philippine embassy officials in London.
Green was accompanied by British dad Roger, and Filipina mom Cecil who hails from Cebu City.
It will be recalled that BGT judge Amanda Holden shed a tear while Decena sang Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", which the singer dedicated to her two daughters in Manila.
This was in contrast to Green's performance. The three BGT judges were in an upbeat mood as the child confidently rendered the song "Summer Wind" by Frank Sinatra.
With almost 150 acts, the number of performers will further be reduced to 40 as part of the initial selection process for the semifinals on Saturday.
Both Decena and Green are counting on the support of all UK-based Filipinos as the grand finals will mostly be decided through text voting.
The finals will be held on May 31st.
