Although he narrowly missed out on the top three, finishing fourth in the competition, Matty made it clear that he views the experience as a major victory rather than a disappointment.

In an emotional Instagram post, Matty thanked fans for their unwavering support and expressed pride in representing both the Philippines and Glasgow on one of the world’s biggest talent-show stages.

“I’m so proud to have represented Philippines and Glasgow in a show I grew up watching and one of the biggest stages in the world,” he wrote.

“I will forever treasure this chapter of my life,” he said, adding that he is excited about what lies ahead and inviting supporters to continue following his journey as he works toward even bigger goals.

Matty’s positive outlook continued in a video message posted after the final. Rather than focusing on what he missed out on, he celebrated how far he had come in a competition packed with talented performers from around the world.

“Ending in fourth was actually a feat,” he explained. “There were so many acts that had so much support and so many fans as well.”

The singer emphasized that his time on the show delivered far more than a placement in the rankings. According to Matty, the relationships, industry connections, and global exposure he gained throughout the competition are invaluable assets that will help shape the next stage of his career.

“I am so proud of what I have done in the show and honestly this is just the very beginning,” he said. “We are walking away with so many friends who we can collaborate with, so many new connections, so many followers, and fans and support from all over the world.”

His heartfelt message quickly resonated with supporters, many of whom flooded social media with congratulatory comments praising his performances and positive attitude.

Matty also took time to acknowledge everyone who helped make his journey possible, including viewers who voted for him throughout the auditions, semifinals, and final rounds. He thanked the production team and judges who played a role in his experience, describing the entire competition as one of the most rewarding chapters of his life.

 

While The Hawkstone Farmers Choir ultimately claimed the championship title, Matty’s strong finish and growing international fanbase suggest his story is far from over. If his post-finale message is any indication, the talented singer is already focused on turning the momentum from Britain’s Got Talent into the next phase of a promising music career.

For Matty Juniosa, fourth place may have marked the end of the competition, but it appears to be only the beginning of a much bigger journey.
