Another group of Filipino talents has proven that they are of international caliber by getting the last golden buzzer for the finals of Asia’s Got Talent (AGT) during the April 30, 2015 episode. According to GMA News, El Gamma Penumbra, a Filipino dance group, impressed the judges of AGT with their shadow dance.
The golden buzzer was first introduced in Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 to accelerate an act in the contest to the next round. This last golden buzzer was a unanimous decision for the four judges and was given to the Philippines’ El Gamma Penumbra. (El Gamma Penumbra also got the golden buzzer in the semi-finals by singer-judge Anggun.)
