Following the footsteps of Charice and his “idol” Arnel Pineda, the 16-year old Siomai vendor from Marilag, Batangas is making a name in YouTube. Jovit Baldivino creates a huge wave in the video sharing website after his audition on “Pilipinas Got Talent” was uploaded on the Net.

His audition video, uploaded on YouTube, has registered 2.2 million hits as of Monday, March 22 (1.6 million on Sunday—and counting). Jovit sang the Journey’s “Faithfully.” His interpretation of Journey’s signature song awed both the judges and the audience. The 16-year old high school student from Batangas is packed with amazing voice.

Was Arnel Pineda watching? Yes, he is. On the interview with Arnel Pineda, he said “He has a really strong potential to become a rock singer. When I was 16, I didn’t sound as good as he does now.”

This Arnel Pineda wannabe has a long way to go. Watch Jovit Baldivino audition on “Pilipinas Got Talent.”
