The Amazing Race Philippines 2

The ruins of Baluarte de San Diego in Intramuros, Manila served as backdrop of the Starting Line for the second season of The Amazing Race Philippines.

In late 2013, TV5 announced that it had renewed the show for a second season. The network had earlier announced that this season, dubbed The Amazing Race Philippines: Biyaheng Asya, would feature challenges across several Asian countries.[4][5] However, this was dropped due to time and logistical constraints in order to have the show ready for an October 2014 premiere date.[6]

Filming took place in late August 2014. Like the first season, TV5 commissioned the Australian production company, activeTV to produce the show.[7] According to executive producer, and director, Michael McKay, this season was going to have major changes with a tweaked format and the Fast Forward task, was to be dropped.[8] A total of 39 cameras were used to film the second season with drones filming aerial shots.[9] This season was also the first international race to use the new title card and graphics package introduced on season 23 of the American series.

In Leg 1, judges featured in the "Priscilla, Queen of Desert" task included theatre actors Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, Michael Williams (both were starring in the actual musical), Joey Mead King, and Resorts World Manila Entertainment Head, Colin Kerr.

In Leg 2, Jodilly Pendre, from Asia's Next Top Model, was featured as the clue giver at the Makati City Go Kart challenge.

Notable Pit Stop greeters included actresses Jasmine Curtis (Leg 1), Ritz Azul (Leg 3), Beauty Pageant contestant Heidi Ronato (Leg 4), Festival Queen "Reyna ng Aliwan 2014" Steffi Rose Aberasturi (Leg 6), Miss Bohol 2014 Queenie Melody Fullante (Leg 7) and Miss Iloilo 2014 Janine May Coo (Leg 8).

Auditions were held from June 13, 2014, to June 28, 2014, which was then extended to July 18, 2014. Applicants had to be at least 21 years old, and a Filipino citizen, or a permanent resident of the Philippines. Auditions were done using three methods: online, mail-in, and in person at TV5 Broadway Studio in Quezon City as well as other locations such as: SM City CEBU, Matina Town Square, Davao, and Marquee Mall, Pampanga.[10][11]

During the press conference held on September 22, 2014, at Resorts World Manila, the contestants were revealed. The cast included: Juan Direction cast members Daniel Marsh, Charlie Sutcliffe and Matt Edwards; a member of the girl group Eurasia, Phoebe Walker; Filipina boxer Gretchen "Chen" Abaniel; former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Luz McClinton and former Wowowee host RR Enriquez.[12]

It was revealed on the show that after their elimination in Leg 2, Pinay World Champs boxer Gretchen "Chen" Abaniel and Luz McClinton were no longer friends and were no longer on speaking terms. Chen was absent at the Finish Line and did not join the other racers.

The show was broadcast as a weekday program airing for 30 minutes per episode, six times a week for ten weeks beginning October 6, 2014. Unlike the first season, each leg was shown over the course of a week with each episode showing at least one task that teams had to complete. The race to the Pit Stop aired on Saturday and a 30-minute recap of the weekly episodes aired on Sundays.[2] This is in contrast to other versions of the show which aired each leg in one or two episodes per week. The last two episodes aired an hour long, and with the penultimate episode showcasing not only the final task and subsequent race to the Pit Stop, but also the highlights of the entire race at the end.

In this season, teams encountered a voting board sometime during each leg. There, they had to cast their vote for the team they wished to delay during that leg. However, unlike last season, teams were unaware if the team they were voting for would either be U-Turned or Yielded until the clue prior to the reveal board. The team with the most votes was either delayed by a U-Turn or a Yield. Teams that had been U-Turned had to complete both Detour choices while teams that had been Yielded incurred a time penalty and had to turn an hour glass at the Yield reveal board before they could continue racing.

The first Detour of the Race required teams to choose between Serve or Souffle. In Serve, teams had to travel to the Little Tokyo restaurant in Makati and take food orders of various Japanese dishes from customers.

Additional tasks

• Teams had to first take a ferry to the island of Camiguin. Upon arrival, they took a multicab to the Giant Clam Sanctuary for their next clue. There, teams had to put on snorkeling gear and swim to a marked buoy. They then had to dive ten feet underwater to retrieve a giant white pearl from inside the "clams". Once they arrived back ashore they exchanged it for their next clue.
• Teams then took a multicab to Tuasan Falls where both team members put on rappelling gear and rapelled down the waterfall to get their next clue. One team member had to collect several puzzle pieces and, while rappelling down, hand the pieces over to their partner, who would place them inside a bag. Once the team had all the pieces, they could continue rappelling until they reached the ground where a local handed them a puzzle board. They then filled in the missing parts using the puzzle pieces using the result to figure out their next destination was at the Sunken Cemetery.
• At Mantigue Island, teams had to search for the correct clue box, among many, containing their final clue.
