Kanta Pilipinas

Kanta Pilipinas (English: Sing Philippines) is a reality singing competition that airs on TV5. It is hosted by Rico Blanco, Rivermaya's former lead vocalist. With the tagline "Kanta Mo, Kwento Mo, Kapatid" (Your Song, Your Story, Sibling), the show premiered on February 9, 2013.[3] The show airs every Saturday at 9:00 PM (PST).[4]

Unlike any other reality singing competitions, the winner of Kanta Pilipinas will only be determined by the judges. Also, the show was already completely filmed before it was aired.

After airing 8 episodes, on March 24, 2013, the 18-year-old Chadleen Lacdo-o of Cebu was proclaimed as the winner of the competition. She won 1 million peso cash prize, a recording and a management contract under TV5.[5][6]

Overview

The show is produced by TV5 and Futurentertainment Inc., owned by Marvin Agustin.[7]

Format

Kanta Pilipinas is a reality singing competition. It was open to Filipino males and females, whether solo, duo, trio or group of singers with a maximum of five members. From the initial number of auditionees who passed the regional auditions, 24 of them will proceed to the final auditions round. From the top 24 auditionees, 12 are then selected to become the top 12 finalists whom will then compete for the vetted position of the first ever winner of Kanta Pilipinas, and of the grand prize of 1 million pesos, a recording and management contract from TV5.[1][8]

Judges and hosts

Lea Salonga and Sharon Cuneta were rumored to host Kanta Pilipinas. Cuneta formerly hosted Star Power, a singing competition aired on ABS-CBN.[9] However, TV5 and people behind the show failed to comment on the rumors. Salonga was eventually selected to sing the theme song of the show.

In January 2013, it was announced that Rico Blanco will host the show.[4] It was also revealed in January 2013 that Ryan Cayabyab, Lani Misalucha and Rico Blanco, the show's host, will serve as the judging panel.[10]
