This May 14, 2015, Filipina opera singer Gerphil Geraldine "Fame" Flores, who lost in the semi-finals of this season, was declared the 2nd runner-up of the first season of Asia's Got Talent.

The audition process took place throughout November and December 2009. The judges visited Philippine cities including Batangas, Cebu, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao for three days and Manila for four days. The first eighteen shows reflected on the successful, and unsuccessful auditions overall. The first audition episodes were followed in a particular city. However, in later episodes until the seventeenth, aired auditions featured all random cities visited.

The second round is the Judges' Cull of all 220 successful auditioned acts. It was held in the Bellevue Hotel located in Metro Manila. This is the round where the judges pick the best 36 acts to enter the live semi-finals. The cull was divided in half throughout the country, 19 acts were picked from the Visayas and Mindanao auditions and the other 17 were taken from Luzon and Metro Manila auditions. The top 36 acts will compete for the live semi-finals round for six weeks.
