With Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and Gary Valenciano returning to the judges’ panel, they’re joined by newcomers Juan Karlos and Angeline Quinto for a season filled with mentorship and musical magic!

Mark your calendars because June 28 is the date that young Filipino singers have been waiting for—Idol Philippines is back and ready to take the stage by storm! This much-loved talent search returns, airing every Saturday and Sunday on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live, and TV5, to bring the magic of music and dreams to our screens once more.

Once again, the powerhouse duo of Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and Gary Valenciano will grace our screens as judges. This season, they’re joined by the dynamic Angeline Quinto, stepping into her judging role for the very first time, alongside the immensely talented singer-songwriter Juan Karlos.

At a recent media conference, Regine reflected on the unique challenges of mentoring young talents. “If that were my child, I’d tell him to listen to me,” she said, emphasizing how children absorb feedback—often without immediate reactions. This sensitivity is key as they navigate their aspirations and self-expression in an industry filled with highs and lows.

Angeline shared her initial hesitations about taking on the role, recalling her own journey through the world of singing contests. “You know, it’s hard to say no, especially to children,” she admitted, but noted how rejection shaped her path in the industry. Meanwhile, Juan Karlos embraced a more “kuya-like” approach, aiming to calm the nerves of anxious contestants, although he humorously noted that many parents might not appreciate his candid feedback.

Returning judge Gary draws on both his grandfather and father experiences, offering advice rooted in wisdom. “Kids need to learn how to take a no,” he declared, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and growth in an artist’s journey.

For fans eager to dive deeper into the emotional narratives behind these performances, “Idol Kids Spotlight,” hosted by Shanaia Gomez and Emilio Daez, will air concurrently, sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes content and allowing viewers to connect with the stars on a personal level.

Every weekend, these young hopefuls from across the Philippines will not only showcase their world-class talents but also share their powerful stories—each performance a reflection of their dreams, struggles, and triumphs.

So gear up, music lovers! With beloved hosts Jolina Magdangal and Robi Domingo on board to guide us through the highs and lows of this emotional journey, Idol Kids Philippines promises a season filled with unforgettable performances that celebrate not only incredible vocal talent but also the spirit of resilience and hope. Tune in on June 28 and be part of the show that brings the very best of Filipino artistry into the limelight!
