History

First and second versions (1954–1972, 1987–1989)

Tawag ng Tanghalan (originally known as Purico Amateur Hour) debuted as a radio talent-search program on the Republic Broadcasting System's (now GMA Network) DZBB-AM in 1954. Its second incarnation was originally hosted by Frankie Evangelista, Danny Javier and Nanette Inventor and aired on ABS-CBN, with dance and acting-contest portions which supported the main amateur singing competition, from March 8, 1987, to November 26, 1989. Season one ran from March 8, 1987, to January 17, 1988, season two from February 14 to December 25, 1988, and season three from January 15 to November 26, 1989.[17][18]

Noted OPM artists such as Armand Panlilio, Nora Aunor, Novo Bono Jr., Pepe Pimentel, Edgar Mortiz and Diomedes Maturan[19] were among the winners[20] of the original show.[21] Caloy Alde, later a noted Philippine comedian, joined the second version of Tawag ng Tanghalan in its acting contest.

Third version (2016 – 2026)

Tawag ng Tanghalan returned as a daily segment on ABS-CBN's noontime variety program, It's Showtime, in 2016.[22][23]

Format

From 1987 to 1989 and since 2016, contestants in Tawag ng Tanghalan perform before a live audience and are scored by a panel of judges which includes a punong hurado (head judge) and two to four other judges. If a contestant begins to sing out of tune, the head judge may eliminate them mid-performance with a hand signal to a gong-master who strikes a gong three times (ending the performance). The gong is not used on the kids' editions to avoid discouraging young performers, with decisions based on the judges' scores.[24]

Face-off format

Adopted in seasons one, two, three, four, six, seven, nine, Celebrity Champions and Kids 1, the face-off format has three or four contestants representing Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Each performs a self-selected song daily. The contestant with the highest score advances to the face-off round to challenge the defending champion and attempt to win the golden microphone. The contestant with the highest score becomes the new defending champion, and may defend their title for up to ten consecutive days. The gong is not used, and decisions are based on the judges' scores.

If all daily contestants are gonged,[25] no daily winner is declared; the defending champion automatically advances by default. A contestant who wins for five consecutive days qualifies for the semifinals; they may choose to opt out or continue until they are dethroned or have a ten-day winning streak. A contestant with ten consecutive wins enters the hall of fame and receives additional rewards, such as a cash prize, a recorded single, or an advantage in subsequent rounds. Each defending champion receives ₱25,000 per win.[26]

Several versions of the face-off format have been introduced:

  • Gong removal: The gong was removed from the kids' editions to avoid disheartening them, and judging relied on the judges' scores. In the first seventeen episodes, all three contestants could challenge the defending champion; eventually, contestants were limited to a five-day defense of the golden microphone.[24]
  • Three-way face-off: In seasons seven and nine, a tie resulted in both contestants being declared defending champions; the following day's winner challenged both champions. If another tie occurred, the defending champions continued competing until one was defeated, gonged, or advanced to the next round. This happened several times, including:
    • September 14–15, 2023: RG Mia and Judy Lou Benitez tied; both faced Jaica Cardino the following day. Benitez advanced, and Mia later qualified for the semifinals.[27][28]
    • September 26–27, 2023: Rgin Deripas and Kenneth Garingo tied; Garingo won the next day, later advancing to the semifinals.[29]
    • December 13–14, 2023: Kline Perez and Aeron Guanco tied; Guanco prevailed the next day, and reached the semifinals.[30]

Judges

Season three introduced OPM musicians Dulce, Randy Santiago, and Zsa Zsa Padilla as judges, with Dulce occasionally serving as head judge. It was the final season of Rico J. Puno, who died on October 30, 2018.[31]

Season four saw the addition of Pilita Corrales to the panel.[32] In season five, Angeline Quinto became a regular judge after a successful guest appearance.[33] K Brosas, Rey Valera, and Randy Santiago did not return due to commitments with Sing Galing!.[34] Klarisse de Guzman joined on June 28, 2021.[35] Jaya announced her departure on July 3, 2021, due to her migration to the United States.[36]

Season six introduced Marco Sison (November 1, 2022),[37] Darren Espanto (February 21, 2023),[38] and Jona Viray (April 17, 2023)[39] as new judges.

In the first duet-edition finale, Mark Bautista and Christian Bautista were guest judges. This edition marked the airing of Tawag ng Tanghalan and It's Showtime on GTV.[40][41]

Season seven saw the return of the five-member judging panel for daily rounds. Nonoy Zuñiga (July 5),[42] Dingdong Avanzado (July 6),[43] Kean Cipriano (July 7),[44] and Bituin Escalante (July 8)[45] joined the panel.

In the second all-star season, Pops Fernandez, Lani Misalucha, and Regine Velasquez joined the judging panel.[46] Stell and Pablo of SB19 were the first two-in-one guest judges in series history.

Rey Valera stepped down in 2021 due to health concerns. In an interview with Bernadette Sembrano, he said that the guilt and pressure of being the gong-master caused stomach issues which led to hospitalizations and two surgeries. Although he had no conflicts with the show or its staff, he chose to prioritize his well-being and pursue lighter roles in the entertainment industry; his decision was not driven by animosity, but by a desire for a healthier lifestyle and a more relaxed work environment.[47][48]

Controversy

Season 1

Judge Rey Valera was criticized by viewers and critics for his comments to contestants about their physical appearance, body-shaming female contestants and failing to focus on contestants' vocal skills.[85][86][87] Karla Estrada's qualifications as judge were questioned by viewers.[88] Judges' scores and text-voting results were criticized by viewers for a lack of transparency, a system which failed to confirm their votes by SMS, and unfair judging[89] In the 2017 grand final, actress Nora Aunor was scheduled to be the special judge but withdrew at the last minute due to a conflict with host Vice Ganda.[90]

Season 2

In the May 22, 2018 Ultimate Resbak rounds, Ato Arman and Aila Santos, Arman advanced to the second round. Vice Ganda defended Santos, however, and said that she was one of the two judges who voted for her.[91]

Season 3

Tawag ng Tanghalan has been cited since 2018 as a factor in the longer airtime of It's Showtime, which delays ABS-CBN's afternoon and prime-time programs.[92][93][94] Semifinalist Shantal Cuizon posted a controversial tweet, saying "Composer ka lang" and "Hustisya."[95] After she apologized, her post was deleted and her Twitter account deactivated.[96]

After the second round of September 11, 2019 songs by Mariane Osabel and Mariko Ledesma, Ledesma took the seat of power. When the split-scoring screen appeared, Osabel's score was 16.50 percent and Ledesma's was 50 percent. The allegedly-rigged results were noted on Twitter.[97] Three days later, judge Dulce addressed the controversial result.[98][99] Osabel withdrew from the Final Resbak due to health issues, and Ledesma withdrew because of the public backlash.[100]

2025 All-Star Grand Resbak

In a March 26, 2025 Facebook post, Marco Adobas called Tawag ng Tanghalan a "cooking show" (implying that the winner was predetermined). Before announcing results, the hosts had said that a tie occurred and the judges had to break it (since only one winner was allowed per round). After the results were announced, Adobas said that Ayegee Paredes (his teammate on Team Alon) should have won instead of Marko Rudio of Team Agimat. He later deleted the post. The following day, producers discussed the possibility of removing Adobas for violating the rules and considered filing a lawsuit against him. At the end of that day's episode, it was announced that he had been disqualified from the competition. Adobas, replaced by Arvery Love Lagoring of the eliminated Team Amihan, later apologized for the post.[101]
