History

Party Pilipinas was conceptualized as an "all-party and all-positive vibes" show, according to the Corporate Communications Department of GMA Network and the show's new production manager, Ruth Mariñas.^[1]

The hosts of SOP, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, and Jaya joined the show, along with Kyla, Jay-R, and La Diva.^[1][2] In addition, Rachelle Ann Go and Mark Bautista also joined the show.^[3][4]

Louie Ignacio left the show on April 25, 2010.^[5] Headwriter Rommel Gacho became the show's temporary director from May 2–23 before management named Mark A. Reyes and Rico Gutierrez as the show's permanent replacements for Ignacio.^[6]

On June 20, 2010, the program created a history in Philippine TV history as it became the first show to air in 3D.^[7][8][9]

The show also held engagements. Alcasid and Velasquez announced their wedding engagement during the August 8, 2010 episode.^[10] Velasquez also had her pre-nuptial message and pregnancy announcement in the show.^[11][12]

On March 27, 2011, the show celebrated its first anniversary, having a simultaneous live performances in four locations in the Philippines: Manila (GMA Studio 7), Baguio (Melvin Jones Grandstand), Davao City (Rizal Park) and Cebu City (Fuente Osmeña Circle) with directors Noel Cabacungan, Rommel Gacho, Ding Bolanos and Mark A. Reyes.^[13][14][15] The anniversary episode included the launch of GMA's summer plug for 2011, "Halo-Halo Ang Summer Saya".^[16]

From April 17 to May 15, 2011, GB Sampedro and Mark A. Reyes directed the show. Sampedro replaced Gutierrez due to Gutierrez's resignation from the show. On July 24 of that same year, Treb Monteras replaced Sampedro as directing of the show.^[17]

The show featured international guests such as U-KISS,^[18][19] Jason Derulo (July 25, 2010),^[20] Dan Hill (February 6, 2011),^[21] Far East Movement (March 13, 2011),^[22] Chauncey Black of Blackstreet (January 29, 2012) and Jay Park (May 6, 2012).^[23][24]

In 2011, the show received its first award at Catholic Mass Media Awards as Best Entertainment Program.^[25]

On February 8, 2013, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board meted a six-month probation period on the show for a dance number that was deemed "sexually charged" by the Board. GMA Network was ordered to make a public apology.^[26] On March 24, 2013, Christian Bautista performed on the show as part of his debut appearance on GMA Network.^[27][28]

Party Pilipinas was set in different destinations during Summer 2013 as a celebration of the 3rd anniversary of the show. The show was held at Ynares Center, Antipolo City; Philippine Navy Headquarters, Manila; Le Pavillon, Metropolitan Park, Roxas Boulevard; and Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay.^[29] That is because the show's 100,000-sq-m studio in the GMA compound in Quezon City was converted into a state-of-the art hub for the network's 28 hours coverage of the automated elections called Eleksyon 2013 from May 13–14, 2013.^[30]

The show had its final episode on May 19, 2013, after the management decided to cancel the show and replace it with Sunday All Stars.
