Jovit Baldivino is the Batangueno male singer and winner of Pilipinas Got Talent (season 1).
Jovit Baldivino came from a poor family living in Batangas. He used to sell “siomai” (fresh Chinese dimsum) at the market after his class to sustain his studies and to help his family. His only wish is to finish studies to be able to uplift their status in life. This is the reason why he joined the “Pilipinas Got Talent” hosted by Luis Mazano and Billy Crawford with Ai-Ai delas Alas, Kris Aquino, and Freddie M. Garcia as the chosen judges. Jovit believed that winning the two million pesos would make his dream come true.
Jovit’s father, Hilarion “Larry” Baldivino, was born and raised in an upland barangay of Dalaguete – Barangay Caliongan, an agriculture-rich barangay, eight kilometers away from the town proper. In 1984, at the age of 21, Larry, accompanied by his cousin, Lino Limbaga, went to Manila to try his luck there. They stayed in Lino’s sister in Malate, Manila and worked in a bakery at Binondo. Larry felt in love with one of the bakery’s sales girls and later decided to live in his wife’s place in Batangas where Jovit was born and raised.
Honestly I didn't mean to cry so hard
The heartache was pouring in like rain
I didn't mean to show I care
Honestly I didn't mean to laugh so loud
But it just sounds so absurd to say that you want me
Say that you need me after everything you've done
Really
Truly I didn't mean to hurt you
I just thought that maybe now
We'd have better luck the second time around
It's always better the second time I hear
Find me in the evening when your ready to dance
And I will take you to the places
Where you never thought you'd have the chance to love
Love
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you
Please believe that I tried my best to forget you
But the memories keep flooding back like tears
I didn't mean to fall in love
But sitting here waiting for this is torture
I'm so glad you're far away
Is that a terrible thing to say
Well I wonder if you're okay
Find me in the evening when your ready to dance
And I will take you to the places
Where you never thought you'd have the chance to love
Love
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you
I would run myself in circles here without you
I've tried and tried and I can't hide from your love
Darling it's too late to show me your intentions
You know we've got to find a way to get past all the implications
Every situation
Every complication that we've come from
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you
Darling love
Love
Love is all we have
