Remove ads
The second season of the Philippine reality singing competition The Voice Teens aired on ABS-CBN and Kapamilya Channel from February 8 to August 16, 2020, replacing Your Moment and was replaced by Kadenang Ginto: The Golden Comeback. Lea Salonga, Bamboo Mañalac and Sarah Geronimo returned to the show as coaches. The Voice of the Philippines coach apl.de.ap returned to the franchise after four years of hiatus, replacing Sharon Cuneta. The show is hosted by Alex Gonzaga and Luis Manzano – the two have previously worked together as hosts of the first season of The Voice Kids.
On March 21, 2020, despite having already taped its episodes prior to the community quarantine, the show suspended airing its fresh episodes as part of the network's decision to halt the airing of taped/live episodes of its shows during the Enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, as part of the country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Its timeslot was temporarily replaced by the re-run of the Kids' first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar (both Saturdays and Sundays) and sixth season of Pilipinas Got Talent (on Sundays only) until May 3, 2020, when ABS-CBN's free TV and Radio stations were forced off the air 2 days later. The season returned on June 13, 2020, via cable television.[1]
The finale was aired on August 15 to 16, 2020. Heart Salvador of Kamp Kawayan, Cydel Gabutero of FamiLEA, Isang Manlapaz of Team Apl, and Kendra Aguirre of Team Sarah were declared as co-champions, as the finale ended up being pre-recorded instead of being staged live due to COVID-19 pandemic-induced restrictions.[2][3][4][5]

In her column on December 19, 2019, it was confirmed that Lea Salonga will return to the show, alongside Bamboo Mañalac and Sarah Geronimo. They returned for their eighth, eighth, and seventh season of the franchise, respectively. It was also published that Apl.de.ap, one of the original coaches of The Voice of the Philippines, along with Salonga, Mañalac, and Geronimo, is set to return for his third season in the franchise, after four years of hiatus, replacing Sharon Cuneta.[6]
Hosts
Luis Manzano returned as host while Alex Gonzaga replaced her sister, Toni Gonzaga, as host. The two have previously teamed up on the first season of The Voice Kids.
Mechanics
Several mechanics were changed since the first season. A new feature added in the Blind Auditions this season is the Block. Each coach is given two blocks to prevent one coach from getting a contestant.[6] Also, each teams were increased to 16 members each, bringing the total of artists to 64.
Following the return of Apl.de.ap in the coaching panel, a monitor was installed on his red chair just like in the previous seasons of The Voice of the Philippines. This is to help him see the artists while performing since he is legally blind.[7] The monitor turns on only upon pressing his button.
It was announced that the format of the live shows was supposed to change, but no further details were given. However, the Live Shows were changed to a pre-recorded work from home finale as a result of difficulties/restrictions caused the coronavirus pandemic.
Online show
The online show entitled The Voice Teens DigiTV returns with KaladKaren Davila and Jeremy Glinoga. The pair has also previously hosted the online show for the fourth season of The Voice Kids. However, the 11th and 12th episodes were aired without a live feed of DigiTV as Metro Manila was placed under a partial lockdown in order to control the spread of COVID-19.
However, when the show resumed airing following the launch of Kapamilya Channel, The Voice Teens DigiTV resumed live via Zoom.
Community quarantine suspension
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the government announced on March 12, 2020, that Metro Manila would be locked down on March 15, 2020. Due to this, the March 14 and 15 episodes aired without a live feed of The Voice Teens DigiTV, while the March 15 episode lasted for 105 minutes instead of 75.
However, when the entire Luzon was placed under an enhanced community quarantine, The Voice Teens suspended its telecast from March 21, 2020, despite taping its episodes prior to the enhanced community quarantine, in which the first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids, filled its timeslot as part of the network's ECQ Special Programming, along with sixth season of Pilipinas Got Talent (on Sundays only) until the closure of ABS-CBN due to the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission on account of its franchise expiration.

The Knockouts
Summarize
Perspective
The Knockouts were filmed on February 28 and 29, 2020. The remaining artists were grouped into three by their respective coaches with one artist advancing to the Live Shows (which eventually was abolished in favor for the prerecorded Finale due to pandemic-induced restrictions) per group. Each artist got to pick their song. At the end of this round, three artists remained on each group with twelve artists overall advancing to the next round.[11]
Lea Salonga was absent during the taping of her team's Knockout performances due to her tonsillitis. Salonga watched the recorded performances of her team on a later date to pick the winner for each Knockout grouping.[11]
Tyson Venegas of Team Apl left the competition prior to the Knockouts due to undisclosed reasons. As a result, there were only two Knockout groups on Team Apl with one group composing of five artists with two artists being selected to advance to the next round.
With the advancement of Kate Campo, she became the first stolen artist to advance to the Finals in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice. Furthermore, the advancement of Heart Salvador, Kate Campo and Rock Opong made Kamp Kawayan the first team to have 3 comeback artists to advance to the Finals in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice.

Finale
Summarize
Perspective
The live shows were originally slated to start in May 2020.[11] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing a three-month long lockdown across Luzon and the non-renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise, the shows were postponed for a few months, eventually being abolished due to the circumstances. As a result, all of the remaining contestants advanced to the prerecorded finale.
Finale (August 15 & 16)
Due to the travel restrictions, the artists and the coaches had to record their performances at their homes, following the instructions of the technical staff. The finale was taped on the first week of August 2020.[12][13][14][15]
The winners of each team were determined by the four coaches themselves since the finale was prerecorded, featuring no interactive viewer voting component, and therefore, no results shows.
Each team performed as a group with their coach. Afterwards, each coach was given 100 points to divide among the three artists. Half of the artist's score was composed of the score given by their coach while the other half was composed of the scores given by the other coaches. The artists with the highest score in their respective teams were named the winners.
With her victory as one of the grand champions of the season, Heart Salvador of Kamp Kawayan, who was a semifinalist on the same team in the third season of The Voice Kids became the first comeback artist to become a grand champion in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice. Coincidentally, Rock Opong became the third consecutive comeback artist to place third after Justin Alva and Cyd Pangca in the third and fourth seasons of The Voice Kids respectively.
Furthermore, Cydel Gabutero's victory as one of the grand champions of the season marked the third victory of Lea Salonga as a coach on all editions of the Philippine franchise of The Voice, a feat which was first achieved by Sarah Geronimo, made her the second coach in all franchises of the Voice around the world that managed artists in three different versions of The Voice (with Mitoy Yonting winning the first season of The Voice of the Philippines and Joshua Oliveros winning the third season of the Philippine version of The Voice Kids).
Additionally, Kendra Aguirre and Isang Manlapaz respective victories as grand champions of the season marked the third consecutive and fifth overall victory of Sarah Geronimo and the first victory of apl.de.ap as coaches in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice.
Lastly, this was the final season of Salonga and Geronimo as coaches in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice after serving as a coach for 8 and 7 seasons respectively.
