Marcelito Pomoy - Never Enough - Reaction

[@min-ys8xp]

Hi Jim, so here's a bit of an overview. His life was actually dramatized in one of the Filipino Shows (MMK). Marcelito's life story--with all its loneliness, deprivations, and hardships is one for the movies. When he was about two years old, his father, on false accusation, got imprisoned. His mother, together with his eldest sibling who was then about seven years old, left him and his two other siblings to somebody else's care to look for a job elsewhere. When someone reported to the authority that nobody was attending to them, they were brought to his father in prison where they were fed on foods shared with them by other prisoners. When their father got sick, however, and could no longer take care of them, he was forced to have them adopted by a local policeman in the person of Ali Macawili. Marcelito stayed with the Macawilis until he was eight years old. When he experienced maltreatment from Macawili's mother, he asked his foster parents who his real parents are. After disclosing to him the truth that his father was jailed that eventually led to his adoption by Macawili, Marcelito left home the following day to look for his father in prison but miserably failed to find the latter there. Marcelito, in subsequent turn of events and despite his tender age, found himself engaged in various economic activities in order to survive. He worked as pin boy in a bowling alley, sold balut and ice cream, and performed other odd jobs. When he was sixteen years old--eight years after he left his adoptive parents--and while selling balut, a suki (regular customer) recognized him and told him he knew what happened to his family and that he also knew of his father's whereabouts. The man brought the excited Marcelito to his father. His father cried when they met and upon telling him of the story behind his mother's leaving them, Marcelito harbored ill-feelings against his mother. Marcelito stayed with his father who then has a new family but only briefly as he decided to leave him because he could not get along well with his stepmother. Through an illegal recruiter, he later moved to Manila to seek employment. He worked in a furniture shop, washed empty Emperador Brandy bottles, worked in a poultry farm and in a piggery, and also worked in a construction outfit. It was during his employment in a poultry farm when he started singing using his female voice. He would sing as he sprayed the chicken house. When Marcelito turned 24, he went back to his father in Surigao. His father then informed him that his mother was in Manila. He didn't know that while he was working in Manila, his mother and siblings were also there. Equipped with his eldest sister's cell phone number which his father provided him, Marcelito returned to Manila to look for his mother and siblings and this time successfully found them. When Marcelito first met his mother, he could not describe his feeling. He said he was kind of angry as though asking why she left them. His mother, however, hugged him and asked for his forgiveness. Shortly after finding his mother and siblings, Marcelito got sick. He was operated for his appendicitis. It was his second-to-the-eldest sister who paid for his hospitalization. When Marcelito got out of the hospital, he was brought to his eldest sister who made unsavory comment that hurt him. He was challenged by that kind of offensive comment so he decided to join reality TV talent search. He first joined ABC 5 Talentadong Pinoy but didn't make it there. Not giving up, he tried ABS-CBN's PGT Season 2 where he garnered 19.56% of the total text votes making him the grand champion and winning a whopping P2 million. All the members of his family were present showing their support during the grand finals at the Araneta Coliseum where he impressively performed "The Prayer" which was popularized by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. Marcelito was given a standing ovation by the audience and all three judges. When asked what his prayer was during that night, Marcelito said he prayed that his performance be successful so his family would be proud as that was the very first time in his life that he saw all the members of his long-lost family together and complete. Marcelito got emotional when he answered that question. Couples of weeks after his win, somebody uploaded a video on youtube showing Marcelito being the object of affection, admiration, and pride of Bisliganons when he visited his hometown during its fiesta celebration. There, with high government officials of the province and the city present, Marcelito was accorded the hero's welcome that he deserved. __________ He won 2 million pesos from Pilipinas Got Talent and he was asked what he'll do with the money. Marcelito said that he'll prioritize his self first, he invested on house and lot, and then help his family, especially his brother. Despite his personal tragedy, today Pomoy manages to look at life with faith and humor. After reaching only 3rd grade in school, he plans to continue his education.

[@jeanduttlinger]

He has been in the U.S. since February on a tour. I saw him in NC and loved him - he is somewhat of a comedian as well. He loves having fun with his audience. From the U.S. he is going to Canada in about a month. He will return to the U.S. around early fall.

[@gerarddeleon2838]

Hi Sir Jim, thanks for being "broadminded" I've learned lots from your very beautiful comments!!!

[@irineomanganip4167]

Marcelito's fans and supporters are endless like his voice that captivates millions of listeners

[@Kitsie-yc6ku]

First time I heard Marcelito sing, I was floored! What a great singer! Since then I try to listen to each new song he sings. Wow what a trip. Now I’m looking for his CDs. Surprisingly, there aren’t many stores that carry his recordings, or I’m looking in the wrong places.

[@georgeesguerra3766]

Wow! I am speechless. He is so incredible!

[@bordoncarlos]

Some facts about Marcelito Pomoy: He lived on the streets after parents abandoned him due to the complexities of problems the family encountered during his childhood , was adopted by the policeman but he ran away and roam the streets scouting for a living just to survive. He was so depressed that his way to relieve his anxieties and sadness was to sing in the poultry where he worked. Some other times he goes to the neighborhood Karaoke where unleash his disgust in life by singing. Friends convinced him to join PGT in the Philippines and won the Champion Trophy in 2011. That was the time when he met his family reunited after winning the PGT . He helped them with his winnings unluckily both of the parents have family of their own. He was invited to participate in the America,'s Got Talent , the fantasy league where he placed 4th after the finals. After his AGT exposure ,: He is having some engagements in different Countries all over the world. His other 10:26 song covers: " Conte Partiro " and " The Beauty and the Beast ." Just try it ! Thank you and God bless you !

[@carolplan171]

Thank you I enjoyed listening to your insights of this talented singer. Thanks too for enjoying his performance.

[@christinetaylor3817]

Marcelito can sing not only male or female songs but also in different languages. He was invited to sing in Spain so learnt the song Despacito in one week so he could sing something in their language, his breath control in that is awesome. He also sung it the same night as never enough, both songs are sung at a concert in Canada. I enjoy how you analyse him, one reactor said he would love to open Marcelito up to see how he works. He just listens to songs and is able to learn them in different languages, languages he doesn't speak. He is very kind, each year on his birthday he has food supplies delivered to his house then he and his wife hand out food parcels to less fortunate people. He uses his YT channel to help charities. There's a video on YT 10 things you didn't know about Marcelito Talent Recap, that will let you know a little more of Marcelito.

[@annauza7460]

Good day! I love Marcelito so much especially with this song! Stay safe and God bless!!!

[@nancyguinn1460]

Marcelito loves interacting with his audience and is somewhat of a comedian. What sounded like a burp at the end was him saying “ow”, I believe, and at the beginning he was replicating the sound of a violin. You may want to listen to him and Morisette Amon sing Secret Love Song, a Little Mix cover, sung at the 107.5 Wish awards. Morisette is another great vocalist from the Philippines.

[@danilotaruc4777]

Thank you for your nice and great reaction.... please next marcelito and morissette amon in music awards in Wish 107.5

[@27anding]

Can't wait for you to react more on Marcelito. You should look up more of his covers....you'll be blown away most especially with his cover of I Believe by Celine and IL Divo...he wasn't even discovered then meaning its very raw.

[@drogna3905]

I've watched many of his performances bus, studio, live, home. Not seen a bad one yet. I think he's a marvel. Please have a listen to his 2020 live Facebook performance of I believe in You. 4/5 voices and he still makes it look so easy. You have the sweetest smile by the way.

[@jeanlynn8278]

I believe in you…..one of my favorite Marcelito performances. 👍

[@sharminevargas1454]

Wow ilike much thats song never enough please do react him singing i believe in you and endless love he is really great performing this thank you so much god bless

[@jeanlynn8278]

I agree with some other commenters….”I Believe in You” the 2020 version is one of my favorite Marcelito performances. It was a livestream from his home during the pandemic. Also a Christian song for Easter “What a Beautiful Name” ….also from his home. Thank you for all your reactions to Marcelito. FYI. He will be touring the U.S. this Feb.-April. 👍

[@MrsTso2009]

He’s amazing. This song is from the Movie “The Greatest Shoman”.

[@christinetaylor3817]

You should react to his Remote control Challenge on GGV it's brilliant 👏

[@elvistan6606]

Marcelito from. Region 9 part of Mindanao. God give him a beautiful voice

[@brigittesaunders3943]

It's a cover from, I believe, a Broadway show or movie(?). The pest part about his singing on stage, is he's standing, not sitting to compensate for a limited diaphragm movement for breathing on his notes. The fact he can still do a song justice while sitting is his talent on control.

[@rubycurammeng5088]

His amazing react more another videos

[@patriciapreciado3952]

He also sings Despacito and Perfect at the same concert

You have a very different perspective of Marceilto. That venus was was the perfect setting for his born talent. He is currently on tour in the U.S. and Canada, not necessary in the best venus, but it was a start. I am sure it will be in bigger arenas in the future.

MORE POWER TO YOUR CHANNEL 💞 STAY BLESSED AND KEEP SAFE ALWAYS 💖🙏💖

[@jamesarmstrong6771]

I really appreciate the way you do your reactions. Marcelito is my favorite singer, although other male singers can go as high, he is the only one the can switch so fast as he does and sound like a female, not a male reaching for the high notes. Although this song does not show off his switching ability as others do, it is still an amazing rendition. My wife is Filipina, and I am a bigger fan than even she is, and that is saying a lot. I would like to give you a suggestion for a future reaction, it is a double treat because it features another Filipino artist, Morissette Amon , singing a duet with Marcelito. He and Morissette are good friends having grown up in the same province, and Morissette is just as amazing as he is. It is called "Secret Love Song" ,here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGaXn56orJiBgsk Enjoy, and I believe you will become a fan of Morissette also.

[@keun1219]

Hi Sir, can I request to you,to react on PABLO Solo debut song called "La Luna" he is the leader of a boy group called (SB19) here in the Philippines, hope you can see this 🙏🙏 coz I love your reaction on every song that you featured here in your channel 💙
