“The Voice Teens Philippines” heads to a close; ABS-CBN adaptation keeps Philippines in Asia’s singing talent format lead
06 May 2024
ABS-CBN has entered the last phase of season three of "The Voice Teens Philippines", kicking off the live performance rounds at the weekend. The semi-finals aired live on Saturday and Sunday on A2Z, TV5, Kapamilya Channel and Kapamilya Online Live.
The Philippines’ version is the first adaptation of the ITV Studios’ unscripted format in Asia.
The latest season, announced at the end of 2023 and premiered on 17 February this year, highlights the Philippines’ steady and ongoing contribution to local versions of the world’s best-known unscripted singing/talent properties.
Last year, the Philippines commissioned and/or aired 12 adaptations of international titles.
Seven of these were singing/talent shows, including "I Can See Your Voice Philippines" season eight; "Idol Philippines" season three; "Philipinas Got Talent"; and "The Voice Kids Philippines" season five.
In addition, the first season of "The Voice Generations" aired on GMA from 27 August 2023 to 10 December 2023
The others included the sole drama – a local version of 2018 Korean drama, "What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim Philippines", which was greenlit by streaming platform Viu and local programmer ABS-CBN for a 2024 release.
ABS-CBN’s other 2023 adaptations were CJ ENM’s mystery music game show, "I Can See Your Voice Philippines" S8, and ITV Studios’ singing competition format, "The Voice Kids Philippines" season five.
Fremantle is the Philippines’ top distributor, with six of the 12 titles reported for last year.
Other distributors active in the market in 2023 were CJ ENM, ITV Studios, Passion Distribution and Toei Japan.
As in every market in Asia, the number of formats in the Philippines has dropped dramatically from the highs of 2018.
2023’s 12 titles were the second lowest in six years, according to ContentAsia’s rolling Formats Outlook. The lowest was in 2020, when the Philippines reported just nine titles.
By volume, this puts the Philippines behind India (30), Vietnam (27), Mongolia (21), Thailand (18), Indonesia (14) and Malaysia (13) in 2023.
Production budgets have not been disclosed, and no announcements have been made on a renewal.
