"This is another first for me, and I want to experience it. I think it's a good breaker after doing 'Hello, Love, Again' and before I start with a new project," she said.
Meanwhile, Pangilinan shared his excitement about joining the show, revealing it was a longtime dream for him and fellow Kapamilya host Robi Domingo.
"Robi and I have dreamed of doing 'PGT' together. Since our MYX days, in fact. I'm so glad that they have put so much trust in me, and right now, I'm just going to try to learn as much as I can," he said.
Returning judge FMG said he is looking forward to discovering new talent this season.
"It feels so good because it's been so long. I'm so excited because maybe this time, I'll finally find the talent I've been looking for," he said.
The seventh season will be hosted by Robi Domingo and Melai Cantiveros.
Since its launch in 2010, "Pilipinas Got Talent" has been a platform for many Filipino artists who later became professionals, including the late Jovit Baldivino, dual-voiced singer Marcelito Pomoy, and acrobatic dance duo Power Duo.
Previous seasons also featured judges Kris Aquino, Ai-Ai delas Alas, Robin Padilla, Vice Ganda, Angel Locsin, and Toni Gonzaga.
