In late 2012, ETC announced a second local Top Model adaptation, called Top Model Philippines with a complete set of judges but was suspended in June 2013. However, TV5 announced in 2016 the show's return and would be called as Philippines' Next Top Model: High Street. The second cycle officially started on March 21, 2017.

The first cycle of the series was presented by Ruffa Gutierrez, with cycle 2 being presented by Maggie Wilson. The series employs a panel of four to six judges.The original panel consisted of Gutierrez (who also serves as its presenter), Wilma Doesn't, Pauline Sauco, Robby Carmona, Vince Uy and Xander Angeles before the entire panel was replaced with Wilson, Kylie Verzosa, Rainer Dagala and Raphael Kiefer in cycle 2.

The first and second cycle consisted a cast of between 12 and 14 female contestants with no previous participation on the series. As of May 2017, 2 models already won the competition; Grendel Alvarado and Angela Lehmann.

Format

Each season of Philippines' Next Top Model has 13 episodes per cycle and starts with 12-14 contestants. Contestants are judged weekly on their overall appearance, participation in challenges, and best shot from that week's photo shoot; each episode, one contestant is eliminated, though in rare cases a double elimination or non-elimination was given by consensus of the judging panel. Makeovers are administered to contestants early in the season (usually after the first or second elimination in the finals) and a trip to an international destination is scheduled about two-thirds of the way through the season.

During the first cycle, the show introduced "Ruffa-text" instead the usual Mail in America' s Next Top Model - Tyra Mail, among others. In the second cycle, the show brought back the usual Mail and was called "Maggie Mail."

Judges

The series employs a panel of judges who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. Throughout its broadcast, the program has employed ten judges. The original panel consisted of Gutierrez (who also serves as its presenter), Wilma Doesn't, Pauline Sauco, Robby Carmona, Vince Uy and Xander Angeles.

For the second cycle, the judges' panel was completely revamped. Gutierrez was replaced by Maggie Wilson as the main judge and presenter. She was joined by Rainer Dagala, Raphael Kiefer and Miss International 2016 titleholder Kylie Verzosa as model mentor. Wilma Doesn't (cycle 1 Model Mentor) serves as runway mentor and guest judge of the cycle 2.
