The 5-member Pinoy Boyband would win a talent management contract from Star Magic, a recording contract from Star Music, 5 units of Yamaha Mio motorcycles and a total cash prize of ₱5,000,000 tax free from Yamaha and ABS-CBN.
Niel Murillo, Russell Reyes, Ford Valencia, Tristan Ramirez and Joao Constancia are the members of the first Pinoy Boyband called BoybandPH. They performed their first single, "We Made It", at the end of the show.
Overview
Pinoy Band Superstar is based on the Latin-American singing competition series La Banda created by Simon Cowell and shown on Univision.[1] According to ABS-CBN: "the reality show aims to find new Pinoy boy bands that will bring romance and good music to television viewers."[2]
Format
The audience will have a big part in choosing the boy bands. According to the host, performers will have to go through the all-female audience first and have at least 75% of them for approval before performing in front of the judges. Crawford also acknowledged that it would not be easy to look for new boy bands. He stated: "...it's not all about the looks -- it's about the charm, about the performance. [Judges would also have] special technical aspects [in order for them] to save a performer from the audience..."[3]
Development
On August 6, ABS-CBN uploaded a video teaser of Pinoy Boyband Superstar on YouTube. With the introduction of La Banda, the video reiterates the show's mechanics.[4] A week later, video teasers of the four judges were shown on television one-by-one: Vice Ganda was shown first,[5] followed by Sandara Park,[6] and Yeng Constantino.[7] The fourth judge was revealed to be Aga Muhlach, who made a comeback in ABS-CBN.[8] A few days before the premiere, a trailer showing Simon Cowell promoting the show was released.[9]
Host
After signing his new contract with ABS-CBN, Billy Crawford was announced to host the talent show on August 16. As one of the in-demand hosts of the Philippine television today, he is set to host this show together with other television talent shows, including the Kids edition of Your Face Sounds Familiar, and the Philippine edition of Dancing With The Stars. Upon announcing his new stint, he said: "This is a new franchise and this is going to be wonderful and going to be exciting."[3]
Judges
During the trade launch on June 28, Vice Ganda, Yeng Constantino, Aga Mulach and Sandara Park were announced to be judges for the then-upcoming talent show Pinoy Band Superstar.[2] During this time, auditions were already ongoing. Since Park is living in South Korea, producers of the show went to the office of YG Entertainment, Park's agency, to do her video promo and photo shoot.[1] On June 27, Star Cinema's AdProm director tweeted: "Sandara will be back!"[10] and "Vice, yeng, and Sandara as judges!"[11] with the hashtag #pinoyboybandsuperstar on both tweets, confirming Park's addition in the show. Star Cinema's Mico del Rosario also uploaded a short greeting of Park on Instagram as a teaser for the show. In the video, Park said, :"This is going to be exciting. See you, Kapamilya. Mahal ko kayo! (I love you all!)".[2] Although she was occasionally seen guesting in some Philippine shows, this would be her regular television comeback after leaving for South Korea in 2007. She stated: "It is good to experience various things in various areas. I think those experiences will be a big help for me later. Philippines is a special place since I grew up here and people sent much love here."[12]
The time Crawford was announced to host, he revealed the next judge will be formally announced on Thursday. According to him, the audience would be surprised as to who would be the next judge.[3] Following Crawford's revelation, the fourth judge was announced to be actor Aga Muhlach two days later. He was reported to lose weight because he did not want to look like a father while being with the other judges.[13]

Judges' Audition
From the different parts of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Even from the different parts of the world: Asia, America and Europe. The journey for the boyband dream starts here. This is the first step before their auditions. They need to focus, to vocalize, to get rid of their tension because they will face the 500 girls. The girls will decide whether the contestant can enter the booth to audition for the judges. Each contestant needs to impress the girls through dancing, pick up lines and so on except singing. If they get 74% votes downward, the judges can override the girls' votes or may be it is the end of their journey but when they get 75% votes upward, they will proceed to the judges' booth and face the 4 superstar judges. In front of the judges, the contestant will perform his prepared song. He must get 3 or more yeses from the judges to pass to the next round.

Middle Rounds
From 40 contestants who passed the auditions, the judges will choose the top 20 boys with their best combination of charm, personality and knowledge of singing. They will group the top 20 boys into 4 boybands with 5 members each. But there is also a 5th boyband. And this last boyband will come from 5 members of bottom 20 boys. 5 boybands will perform in front of the judges and the girls wherein they will choose who will be in the top 12 that will perform in the "Live Shows."
Judges' Deliberation
The judges unanimously decided who are going to be part of the top 20 except for a few contestants.
Some of the contestants were given an assignment by the judges and it is to study the Filipino language to sing the OPM songs which is important in a Pinoy boyband. So during the deliberations, the judges decided to determine the results of the challenge provided to them.
James Ryan Cesena, Sef Hynard and Russell Reyes were requested by the judges to perform on stage and sing an OPM song.
| Episode | Order | Contestant | Song |
|---|---|---|---|
| Episode 13 (Saturday, October 22) |
1 | Russell Reyes | "Kung Ako Na Lang Sana" |
| 2 | James Ryan Cesena | "Hallelujah" | |
| 3 | Sef Hynard | "Walang Iba" | |
After the judges heard the Tagalog performances of Russell, James and Sef, the top 20 boys were completed.
At the end of the deliberation, the judges formed from top 20 boys into 4 groups with 5 members each who are to sing in the Middle Rounds' Performance Night. The groups will perform in ballad, acoustic, pop and R&B genres. While the 5th group will be the chosen 5 of bottom 20 who will also perform the upbeat genre.

They will perform as a group. They will succeed as a group. And if they are careless, they will fail as a group. This is the test for the boys to perform in different groups. A young heartthrob will be eliminated every week until seven are left in the grand finals. And from the seven, five will be chosen to form the first superstar boyband of the country.
The superstar judges select the strongest and the weakest group. The strongest group will be declared as the boyband of the week. While the members of the weakest group would have to individually sing their survival songs. Aside from the talent, the young heartthrobs will be judge in their overall character and performance onstage.
One or two will be saved by the votes of the viewing public. One will be saved by the superstar judges. In case of a tie, the next highest number of public votes will be saved. And the remaining contestant will be eliminated from the competition.
