The fifth season of Pilipinas Got Talent is a talent show on ABS-CBN. The show premiered on January 23, 2016, replacing the second season of Your Face Sounds Familiar after it ended on December 13, 2015, whose timeslot was temporarily occupied by the temporary weekend block Kapamilya Weekend Specials following the TV airing of Thank You for the Love: The 2015 ABS-CBN Christmas Special. It was originally aired at 9:30 PM, however, after Dance Kids ended, it was moved to an earlier timeslot of 7:30 PM to give way for I Love OPM .

Contents

The season ended on May 22, 2016, with interpretative dance duo Power Duo winning the season — the first season not won by a singing act. [1]

Development

During the May 17, 2015, episode of ASAP , host Luis Manzano announced that the show will return for its fifth season, following the success of the four Filipino acts who competed in the grand finals of Asia's Got Talent . Two of those acts were formerly part of the show: singer Gerphil "Fame" Flores, who competed in the first season but lost the judges' vote in the fourth semifinal week, and shadow play group El Gamma Penumbra, who competed in the third season but placed fourth in the finals. Flores placed third while El Gamma won the inaugural season of the said regional franchise of Got Talent. [2] [3]

Host and judges

Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano are set to reprise their hosting duties although the judging panel will have significant changes. [4] Ai-Ai delas Alas and Kris Aquino will not return to the judging panel; the former due to her return to GMA Network, while the latter cited health problems and give time to her sons. [2] [5] ABS-CBN board member Freddie M. Garcia confirmed his return as judge for the fifth consecutive season. [6] On January 8, 2016, a teaser during FPJ's Ang Probinsyano revealed that actress Angel Locsin will be one of the judges. [7] On January 9, 2016, a teaser during It's Showtime revealed that actor Robin Padilla will join Garcia and Locsin in the judging panel. [8] The next day, January 10, a teaser during ASAP revealed that comedian Vice Ganda, who filled on delas Alas' slot last season as a guest judge, will be the fourth judge for this season. [9]

Voting mechanics

Aside from the usual SMS voting, new to this season is the addition of an online voting method done via Google Philippines. By typing the keyword PGT5 in the search box, clickable photos of the contestants that had performed for that week will show up in the search results page; one Google account is entitled to one vote only. [10]

Timeslot

When the show initially premiered on January 23, 2016, it initially aired at 9:30 PM, filling the timeslot previously vacated by the second season of Your Face Sounds Familiar after it ended on December 13, 2015. Prior to the season's premiere, the temporary filler movie block Kapamilya Weekend Specials took over the said timeslot. On February 13, 2016, after Dance Kids ended, it was moved to an earlier timeslot of 7:30 PM to give its timeslot to I Love OPM .

Auditions

Pre-auditions

The pre-auditions for the fifth season took place in key cities in the Philippines. Pre-auditions were held in Manila, Batangas, Cebu, and Davao. [2] But this season, the pre-auditions are judged by Pilipinas Got Talent staff and those who passed will make it to the live audition.

There were also mini-auditions in several cities and provinces in the Philippines including Antique, Aurora, Cabanatuan, Cagayan de Oro, Catarman, Catbalogan, Guimaras, Imus, Kalibo, Legazpi, Roxas, Tacloban, and Tarlac City. These mini-auditions are judged by Pilipinas Got Talent staff and those who passed will make it to the live auditions.

In addition, online auditions was put up where contestants can upload their own audition video and send it to the website of Pilipinas Got Talent.

Date of Pre-Audition [11] Pre-Audition Venue [11] City [11]
October 10–11, 2015North Gate, Faith Catholic School Tanauan City, Batangas
October 16–17, 2015Almendras Gym of Davao Recreational Center Davao City
October 24–25, 2015Benedicto College Mandaue City
November 6–7, 2015ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center Quezon City

Live auditions

The live auditions in front of the judges were held on January 12–14, 2016 at the Kia Theater in Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City (for the Manila auditions) and on January 21–23, 2016 at the Davao del Sur Coliseum in Digos (for the Visayas and Mindanao auditions). This fifth season, voting works on a majority-of-three basis (as there are now four judges). If an act receives three or more "yes" votes from the judges, they advance to the next round of the competition which is the judges cull.

Date of Live-AuditionLive-Audition VenueCity
January 12–14, 2016 Kia Theater Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City
January 21–23, 2016Davao del Sur Coliseum Digos

Below are the acts that had received at least three Yes votes from the judges, and as well as those Golden acts:

Golden buzzer

Another new addition to this season is the golden buzzer. During the live auditions, there is a golden buzzer placed in the center of the judges' table. The buzzer is pressed by a judge on an act to send directly to the live semi-finals. Each judge is allowed to press the buzzer only once during the whole duration of the auditions. [12]

Padilla was the first judge to use the golden buzzer, pressing it for acrobatic duo, Power Duo. [13] Locsin was the next to press for flair bartending couple Liquid Concepts. Then Vice Ganda was the third judge to press for collegiate Hip-Hop dance troupe, Power Impact Dancers, with Garcia coming in last, doing so for hat tricker/contortionist Mark Dune Basmayor. All four were found during the Manila auditions, hence the lack of calls for the use of the Golden Buzzer during the Davao auditions.

Judges Cull

There are 132 acts who made it to the Judges Cull. Out of 132 acts, only 36 will move forward to the Live Semi-Finals. There are four golden buzzer acts who instantly made it to the Semi-Finals and 27 acts were made it through the unanimous decisions of the judges. However, there are 16 acts in the waiting list who performed for the remaining five slots in the semi-finals and complete the Top 36.

Unanimous decision

These acts were chosen based on unanimous decisions by the judges to move forward to the Live Semi-Finals. Twenty-seven of these acts advanced to the live shows.

Standby Acts

The following acts who performed again for the remaining five slots.

Unknown decision

Several acts were unable to compete in the Judges Cull for personal reasons, or were not seen during the airing of the episodes. These acts were therefore automatically assumed as eliminated from the competition.
