Jovit Baldivino Denies Rumors He's Into Drugs

JOVIT BALDIVINO zoomed to fame as “Pilipinas Got Talent” Season 1 winner singing “Faithfully” and “Too Much Love Will Kill You”. He was only 16 then. Two years later, there are now rumors that he has neglected his career because of drugs. “Hindi po totoo yun,” he says at the presscon of his show with PGT 2 winner Marcelito Pomoy, “A Talent Showdown”. It was also rumored before that Jovit had a drinking problem.

“Dahil po sa career ko, bumuti ang buhay ng pamilya ko sa Batangas kaya hindi ko puedeng pabayaan ito,” he says. “Nang ipalabas ang life story ko sa ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya’, nakita naman ng tao na galing talaga ako sa hirap. Alangan naman gustuhin kong bumalik pa roon. Walang tigil ang shows ko, dito sa Manila, sa probinsiya. Nag-show na rin po ako sa U.S., sa Singapore, sa Europe. Makakarating ba ko doon kundi sa pagkanta ko?”

He’s excited to do a show with Marcelito tomorrow, Saturday, 8PM at SM North Edsa’s Skydome. Their special guests are “PGT” season 3 winners Maasinhon Trio and runnerup Khalil Ramos, with Enrique Gil, Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes. Produced by Edgar Mangahas, you can get tickets at SM Ticketnet outlets.
