Armed with her guitar and a voice with a rebel sound, Esay Belanio took the stage with her own rendition of “Nagloko Ka Rin Naman.” It was gritty and dripping with the kind of angst you just can’t fake. At only 19, she knew exactly how to let her vocal prowess carry her message.But more than the music, it was Esay’s story that gave the moment its weight. She shared how her parents quit their jobs so she could focus on her passion for music full-time. That kind of support is rare, and so is a talent like that of Esay. Judge Donny Pangilinan has always said he’s been waiting for that kind of fire, and he witnessed it in her eyes, enough to convince him to hit the Golden Buzzer. This grants Esay a ticket to skip the Judges’ Cut round and move straight to the live semi-finals.With Donny’s pick, all Golden Buzzer slots are now officially filled. And as the audition phase wraps up, here are the final batch of hopefuls who also earned &#x27;yes&#x27; votes from the judges.Catch <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pilipinas-got-talent-7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“PGT” Season 7</a>, airing at 7:15 pm, weeknights, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and A2Z.
