The Voice of the Philippines is just one episode away from the much-awaited Battle Rounds which will premiere on Sunday, July 28. After the Blind Auditions, the next round will be called The Battles which was taped at the ABS-CBN Studio 10 (ASAP Studio) three weeks ahead of its scheduled telecast.
In the Battle rounds, the four superstar-coaches Sarah Geronimo, Lea Salonga, Bamboo and Apl de Ap trimmed down the number of members in their team by pairing them up in a singing showdown happening atop a stage similar to a boxing ring.
The two-day taping saw 24 battles but compared to its US and UK counterparts, The Voice of the Philippines will have a triangle fight which means that some battles will have three members in the showdown instead of just two. The triangle fight was due to a surprise twist revealed last Sunday, adding one artist per team instead of the original 12. CLICK HERE for the list of members of each team.
Watch the Battle Rounds preview below.
In all the battles, only one artist who impresses their coach will advance to the live shows which will happen at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila. The Battles will air for 7 episodes so expect the live shows to start on August 24.
The Battle rounds of The Voice PH was also made unique by the presence of each team's advisor during the battles. The "trusted advisers" (Joey Ayala for Team Bamboo, Gary Valenciano for Team Sarah, Gerard Salonga for Team Lea and Arnel Pineda for Team Apl), helped the coaches in honing their respective artists prior to the Battle rounds.
