THE TRIBAL DANCERS from Muntinlupa is the only all-female group in the Hall of Fame of "Talentadong Pinoy" who'll compete for the title of Philippines' First Ultimate Talentado on March 6 at Cuneta Astrodome. Composed of sisters Mench and Zam Mijares (both visually impaired), their friend Liezl Cabriga (who's hearing impaired) and cousin Grace Cristobal. They do a dangerous act with fire called poi dancing and they've become a crowd favorite since they first performed in July 2009. "Si Grace lang ang may normal na paningin at pandinig sa amin so she serves as our guide," says Zam. Since their exposure in Talentadong Pinoy, they've been performing in various parties and events.
Also competing is Omar, The Ladder Balancer, the 6th Hall of Famer who performs various stunts with a ladder. Born Omar Antonio Doroin in a family of circus acrobats, Omar developed his career and passion for ladder balancing in the province of Marinduque when he met Raul Napolitano, who is a circus talents booker in the locale. But little did Omar and Raul knew that their partnership in the circus scene will soon be more than just a professional relationship when Omar's passion for ladder balancing extended to Raul's eldest daughter who became his wife. Don't miss them perform tonight in "Talentadong Pinoy" on TV5.
