Pinoy Dream Academy
Like the rest of the world, the Philippine show business industry is jumping on the twin bandwagons that are reality TV and American Idol. After “Star Circle Quest”, “Philippine Idol”, and “Pinoy Big Brother” – all reality TV shows in search of the next mega-star hopefuls, now comes ABS-CBN’s PINOY DREAM ACADEMY.
Launched this August as a nightly primetime, the new show will topple older shows in the ”Big Brother Reality TV” fashion where contestants are housed together and one by one are voted off each night. Unlike its predessosor however, the Dream Academy students will be allowed to interact with the outside world every so often, AND actually be trained by different celebrities, voice coaches and dance instructors in the art of performing…. Hmm, is this not familiar or does this look like a hybrid of the USA’s “Dancing with the Stars“?
To be hosted by Nikki Gil, with Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga joining for the weekend evictions, “Pinoy Dream Academy” has successful counterparts in other countries. In France, it’s called “Star Academy.” In Russia, it’s “Factory of the Stars,” in the UK it’s Fame Academy” and “Operacion Triunfo” in Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Spain.
Even though I happen to love watching some relevant reality TVs, and I don’t know about you, but it’s starting to feel like we’re pushing the reality TV craze to saturation. What’s next? Putting young children and toddlers in a reality TV show?! Oh, wait. We already have that with Little Big Star! My oh my.

mas maganda yung format ng Pinoy Meets World sa GMA-7 hosted by Paolo Bediones and Miriam Quiambao. travel docu ang dating na pang-masa. plus meron one pinoy na binibigyan ng free travel to every destination.
hey Gloria, what do you know, we’re just about to blog that. thanks for the heads-up!
HELLO I am from Mexico and i watched Operacion Triunfo, Operacion Triunfo is the Mexican version of Dream Academy, it was wonderful, and Darina won the Mexican edition
gusto ko lang magtanong kung sino pwedeng kausapin,gusto ko magsponsor ng mga hats and caps
Hi Claud,
Thanks for visiting us here. I sent you an email.
Hi Cesar,
Looks like you enjoyed it Mexico’s version. I’m sure the Filipino one will have its own fans as well.
Para kay Gloria na nagsabi na oks sa kanya ang Pinoy Meets World…Dyos ko po..ang layo naman ng pinag compare mo…isang travel show yan..at yung isa ay talent reality search show…dapat nag compare ka sa isang talent search show din..so kung may Pinoy Meets World siya..ay may mga travel shows din ang ABS CBN at eto’y nasa TFC Pinoy Central..dyos ko po…..ano ba yan!!!

mas maganda ung kapuso no.1 kaysa sa kapamilya ang baduy at cheap kaya mababa ang ratings!!
pano ba sumali sa songwriting contest sa abs for pinoy dream academy? im interested but i dont know where will i pass it or till when? thx.
hi Santy, we’re all entitled to our preferences so thanks for telling us about another ABS CBN travel show. We’ll check it out, so come back later and we might have blogged that too.
Popcorn – we’re not affiliated with ABS CBN (or any network for that matter) so we can’t give you any personal connections. But googling “Pinoy Dream Academy” led to the ABS CBN forum http://forums.abs-cbn.com/index.php?showforum=141
and this might help you. let us know how your paper turns out!
Competition is always good for network ratings, so both ABS CBN and GMA are probably very happy that we’re having a lively discussion about their shows.
But as a disclaimer, Filipina Soul is NOT affiliated nor endorses any networks or shows over another. We blog about what we think is interesting to Filipinos. Now the thread of comments about this post and “Pinoy Meets World” http://www.filipinasoul.com/pinoy-meets-world-2 is only proof of how much we love reality shows and showbiz. So thanks everyone for participating!
i want to join composing of song, anong address po ba ang padadalhan ko? tnx!!!!!!!! God bless on this reality show
mega correct ka santy talagang nakaka diyos ko po yang si Gloria, di manlang nag isip bago nag blog, mangkukumpara na nga lang ang layo pa, parang nag kumpara siya ng ganito” alin ang mas masarap? ang kutsilyo o mansanas?,,ganun ba yun?
basta ako pinoy dream academy! for life
Sumali ako sa Dream Song Writing Composition, sana manalo! This August 27 na ang announcement, tudo dasal talaga ako kasi pinaghirapan ko talagang ipasa ang kanta, last minute na kasi ako kumilos e.
what’s the theme song of pinoy dream academy..
the song the dreamers sang last saturday?
sana naman hindi si roxanne barcelo ang napili para sa pinoy dream academy “campus vj”… nakakairita lang kasi yung puro “ok-ok” nya, “aba-aba”, etc… pati yung mga kamay nya busy sa kakaturo-turo… wala naman masyado masabi… pagmasdan nyo lang sya lalo na sa uplate… hindi talaga sya bagay dun… yun lang
Ano na po nangyari sa Pinoy Dream Songwriting Contest? Sabi kasi sa site nila August 27 daw ang announcement of winners pero hanggang ngayon wala pa…
