The first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar was a singing and impersonation competition for celebrities and was based on the Spanish version of the same name.

Contents

After 13 weeks, Melai Cantiveros emerged as the winner after garnering 51.93% of the public's votes.

Development

The Philippine version was first announced by ABS-CBN in its trade show for advertisers in Rockwell Tent, Makati. In this show, 8 celebrities compete in a sing and dance number while impersonating iconic singers. Each week, the "Iconizer" (called the "Randomizer" in other franchises) assigns the artists at the end of each Sunday episode of whom they have to impersonate for the following week. [1] Each of the artists must face the iconizer at the end of each episode from last place to first place and press the iconizer to reveal the icon they have to impersonate in the following week, and after pressing, the icon is revealed, and a sample playback of the song they have to perform will be played upon revealing the icon.

The show replaced the time slot of the second season of The Voice of the Philippines which ended on March 1, 2015. [5]

On March 9, 2015, Sharon Cuneta made a comeback in ABS-CBN; one of her first projects would be to sit as a judge in the show with Madela and Valenciano. [3] [6] In earlier announcements, Toni Gonzaga was reported as one of the judges; however, she was replaced by Cuneta. [7] Every week, the performers are guided by Teacher Annie Quintos of The Company and Teacher Georcelle of the G-Force for vocals and choreography respectively.

On April 5, 2015, the show aired a duet special episode, as Holy Week programming on Black Saturday pre-empts all non-cable shows. However, the eight celebrity contestants were still scored individually.

On April 18–19, 2015, Gary Valenciano temporarily left the show to fulfill his commitment of performing in a series of concerts in Papua New Guinea, Spain and Qatar. He was substituted by Boy Abunda. The same instance happened on May 16–17, 2015, and he was substituted by Vice Ganda.

Prize

Every week the winner wins a cash prize of 100,000 pesos, half of which was given to his or her chosen charity. The grand prize is 2 million pesos. [1] [2]

PiliPinas Debates 2016 is a debate series administered by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) with the assistance of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas in preparation for the May 9, 2016, general election. In January 2016, the Commission on Elections confirmed that they would hold three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate. This will be the first time that the COMELEC will host debates since the 1992 elections, with ABC-5 as the host network fresh from the launch of the recently restored broadcast network on February 21 of the same year, after a 20-year rest due to Martial Law. The debates were branded as PiliPinas Debates 2016. The first word is a portmanteau of Pili, Filipino for "choose" and Pinas, shortcut for the Philippines in Filipino.
