Flores finished third behind second-placed Khusugtun, a traditional music ensemble from Mongolia, and winner El Gamma Penumbra, a shadow play group from the Philippines.
When Filipino hosts Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez announced the top two, an emotional Flores was seen surrounded by members of El Gamma Penumbra to comfort her.
Asked for his message to his ward, Foster said, "May I say it in private?"
From his seat in the judges' area, the multiple Grammy winner went up on stage to speak with Flores, whom he had promised global fame after her finals performance of "The Impossible Dream" last week.
Although the conversation could not be heard, host Rovilson Fernandez clued in the audience on what Foster told Flores -- "We're going to hear more from you in the future."
As if to express his commitment to help Flores with her career, Foster added: "She was my golden buzzer. She is still my golden buzzer."
Speaking with reporters after the show, the former "Pilipinas Got Talent" contestant declined to detail what Foster told her, but hinted that they were "big words of encouragement."
Earlier in the show, Foster reunited with Filipino singing sensation Charice, whom he took under his wings and helped launch an international career.
Asked if she sees herself working with Foster, Flores said: "Ini-imagine ko po pero hindi ko pa siya nakikita fully! Sana talagang mangyari po talaga... Hopefully tuparin po ni Sir David Foster 'yung pangako niya sa akin!"
"Basta lagi kong niri-remind ang sarili ko na laging kasama ang Panginoon, laging feet on the ground, always humble, kahit ano pong mangyari," she added.
