Asia’s Got Talent finalist, Gerphil Flores, is getting as much flak as her unprecedented success in the show. Allegedly, Flores has imposed certain limitations on her guestings in Philippine media, and that includes declining invitations from ABS-CBN, even an appearance in ASAP. Flores has guested and granted interviews in GMA and TV5 shows since she arrived from her successful stint in Singapore.

In 2010, Flores was a contestant at Pilipinas Got Talent, which was produced and shown over the Kapamilya network. However, Flores failed to impress the judges, namely Freddie Garcia, Kris Aquino, and AiAi delas Alas. Thus, Flores did not make it far enough in the talent contest. However, her parting words were focused on her insistence to stick to promoting and singing classical music.

Her stand was not surprising as Flores was already singing classical songs over at DZRH, where she sang with other classical Filipino singers. Since losing out in PGT, Flores has studied at the UP College of Music, where she is finishing her BM Voice program.

In her recent interviews, Flores admitted that she did not have as much training as she has now when she sang for PGT. Her confidence, choice of songs, and even the way she projects herself all indicate the drastic change in her performance then in PGT and now in AGT. However, her disinterest in guesting in Kapamilya seems to indicate that she is still miffed from the harsh comments she received during her performance.
