Filipino fisherman Roland Abante received four "yes" votes from all the judges of “America’s Got Talent” for his performance of Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman." The Bisaya-speaking contestant also got a standing ovation from the judges as well as the audience.

"I don't think you could have done it better. Mic drop. ...You were amazing. You should be very proud of yourself," said judge Heidi Klum, who gave Abante a hug before his performance.

"I have a feeling you gonna stop fishing because this is where you needed to be," Sofia Vergara said.

"You were so nervous, I genuinely thought for one moment you were not able to get to do this. And then, that happened. And it actually made me love this audition even more, and I really like you. That was great audition. Really brilliant," said Simon Cowell, who also gave Abante a hug.

"I think Simon is really right. It's the emotion and we could feel your heart. And I think everybody just heard a life-changing moment," Howie Mandel added.

According to Abante, who spoke through an interpreter, he is a fisherman and a habal-habal driver, who loves to sing karaoke.

He also turned emotional when asked of why he wanted to join "America's Got Talent."

"This is my big dream to be here," Abante said.

Abante, who is also known as "Bunot," was first discovered in 2014 when a video of him singing Michael Bolton's version of "To Love Somebody" went viral on social media, garnering millions of views and shares. 

His talent also caught the attention of comedian Vice Ganda, who invited him to guest on "Gandang Gabi Vice," where he sang a duet with his long-time idol, Gary Valenciano. 

Abante also performed on "ASAP" with Journey's Pinoy vocalist, Arnel Pineda. 

Two years after, he returned to ABS-CBN to join "It's Showtime's" Tawag ng Tanghalan.

"Sumali ako sa Tawag ng Tanghalan dahil naniniwala ako na hindi nagtatapos sa pagiging viral ang pangarap ko. Gusto ko pang ipagpatuloy ang pag-unlad ng career ko sa pag-awit," he said.
