Following the trend of one of today’s hottest singing competitions, ABS-CBN’s “The Voice of the Philippines”, the hit comedy show “Toda Max” gives its own rendition of a battle of the voices with its very own “Toda Voice”.

Auditions will be held in order to join in on the competition, with the coaches being Bamboo’s, Apl.de.Ap’s, Sarah Geronimo’s, and Lea Salonga’s kalokalikes—and all those in Beverly Gils who think they have a talent for singing are eager to find out if they have what it takes to make the judges’ chairs turn.

One of the community’s tricycle drivers, Boogie (Bugoy Drilon) happens to have that knack for singing. However, with his confidence running low, he struggles to bring himself to sing in front of other people. Isabel (Angel Locsin) and Justin (Vhong Navarro), though, have heard Boogie sing—and because of the potential that they know he has, they push him to believe in himself, hoping that he tries out for “Toda Voice”.

Will Isabel and Justin have what it takes to coach Boogie behind the scenes so that he can show his true talent?

Find out in this week’s episode of “Toda Max”, airing on Saturday (August 17) on ABS-CBN Channel 2 after “Maalaala Mo Kaya”.
