The shadow play group El Gamma Penumbra from Tanauan City, Batangas earned the highest percentage of votes from Asian audience. El Gamma Penumbra was among the top 3 finalists of the first pan-regional edition of the hit global "Got Talent" franchise airing on AXN.

"Our journey in Asia's Got Talent is the highlight of, not only our career, but of our lives," El Gamma Penumbra said.

Musical ensemble Khusugtun from Mongolia placed second in the competition. Filipino classical singer Gerphil Flores finished her journey on third spot.

"This is so amazing. We don't have any words to express ourselves. Thank you!" says one of the members of Khusugtun.

"We speak for so many people when we say THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! We all know how tough...," Gerphil-Geraldine Flores said.

Nine finalists battled for the title on Thursday night which also include two other Filipino acts - teen dance troupe Junior New System and 10-year-old singer Gwyneth Dorado. The rest are from Thailand, China, Singapore, Mongolia and Japan.

AGT trimmed down the list to top 6 with El Gamma Penumbra (Philippines), Gerphil Flores (Philippines), The Talento (Thailand), Triqstar (Japan), Khusugtun (Mongolia) and Junior New System (Philippines).

The top 4 was named next. Triqstar and Junior New System got eliminated.

Based from the social media poll created by Asia's Got Talent on Facebook, El Gamma Penumbra was also the top choice ahead of Khusugtun.
