El Gamma Penumbra

That simple dream led them to realize that they now have an opportunity to honor the Philippines and to make the Filipinos proud.
Judge Anggun pressed her Golden Buzzer for El gamma Penumbra, which automatically advanced them to the competition's semi-finals.
Their shadow play final performance featuring the song "Colors of the Wind" was a touching tribute to Mother nature. Judged moved to tears by the performance.
