The Bringas Brothers ... From Bansalan to the Whole World


Yes, they came from Bansalan. They make make our town popular not only in our country but around the world. Last July 9, 2011, ABS-CBN’s Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 featured the Bringas brothers (Jefferson and Kurt Bringas), as they performed Peter Cetera hit "After All' and were successfully accepted during the Mindanao audition. These two brothers are acoustic musicians from Bansalan, Davao Del Sur, Philippines. But along with their great talent, lies a moving story that would touch everyone’s heart. Kurt Bringas got a stage-four bone cancer and his left leg was amputated when he was 19. According to the doctors then, the cancer had already spread in his major organs and told him that he had only one month to live. He is now 25 and considers the incident as a miracle. As Kris Aquino stated, these guys will definitely become stars.
Two more semi-finalists successfully made it to the Grand Finals of ABS-CBN's reality based talent search, Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) Season 3. Bringas Brothers of Bansalan, Davao del Sur garnered 36.96% of the total text and online votes to secure the 5th slot for the final round.

Kurt and Jefferson, the “Acoustic Duo,” performed an Extreme hit song “More Than Words” during the performance night on Saturday, September 24, 2011.
