Talent winner Jovit Baldivino

Former Philippians Got Talent winner Jovit Baldivino has died aged 29:

Filipino musician Jovit Baldivino, who won the first Philippians Got Talent series in 2010, died Thursday at the age of 29.

The news was confirmed by his parents Ilario and Cristeta Baldivino as well as his fiancée Camilla Ann Miguel, who said she died in a hospital in Batangas City after suffering a brain aneurysm.

Baldivino suffered from high blood pressure and was told to rest by his doctor, but accepted an invitation to a Christmas event in the city of Batangas on 4 December.

He sang three songs, and on the third, you could see he was out of breath. Soon after, he was taken to the hospital and scans showed a blood clot in his brain, a sign of an aneurysm.

A brain hemorrhage put him in a coma for five days, but he died on Thursday.

His fiancé made a series of posts on Facebook after the news was announced. “Miss a PO Kita, love ko (I miss you so much already, my love),” she said.

Baldivino shot to fame when he won the first season of Philippians Got Talent in 2010 when he was just 19 years old. Soon after, he released his first full-length album, Faithful, followed by three more albums between 2011 and 2015.
