The ‘Idol’ franchise in the Philippines was first awarded by Fremantle Media, 19 Entertainment, and CKX Inc. to ABC Development Corporation (Now: TV5) in 2006, it was titled ‘Philippine Idol,’ the sixth local adaptation in Asia and 35th in the world.

Hosted by Ryan Agoncillo, the panel of judges are the musical composer, Ryan Cayabyab; Asia’s Queen of Songs, Pilita Corales and the rapper/ producer, Francis Magalona. Cayabyab was chosen by the program’s producers, the other three (Agoncillo, Corrales and Magalona) auditioned to be part of the program, and the actress, Heart Evangelista hosted the daily updates program.

According to the sources, due to low results on the advertising revenue, ABC5 had incurred large losses in mounting the first season. Although it was announced that ABC5 would produce the second season, the Network did not pursue it.

Fremantle Media has announced that that the franchise has been given to GMA Network, on September 16, 2007 and titled it ‘Pinoy Idol.’ Geraldine Bravo, FremantleMedia representative said that it was “very fortunate” to find a new partner. According to the reports, GMA Network wanted to completely reset the show disregarding the ABC5’s first season.

The show has a total of 37 episodes which premiered on April 4, 2008 and concluded on August 17, 2008.
