Korean game show “I Can See Your Voice” premieres on ABS-CBN

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN finally premieres the local adaptation of South Korea’s hit mystery music game show “I Can See Your Voice” this Saturday, September 16.

Led by the country’s most sought after and award-winning host Luis Manzano, “I Can See Your Voice” is the first game format to be localized by ABS-CBN in partnership with Korea’s CJ E&M.

“What sets us apart is our humor that we Filipinos only have. This show is very casual and relax. We just want to create an atmosphere wherein you can laugh. There no much tension in this show,” said Luis.

Despite being a seasoned host already, Luis admitted that he still feel pressured especially when the representative of the Korean franchise visited the country.

“He said, ‘In Korea, we have three hosts. Here, we have only you.’ Apparently, in Korea, there’s one host, one comedian, and a singer. Well at least I have done two out of three,” he jokingly added.

“I Can See Your Voice” features six secret songers and a guest star who must guess who among the contestants is a SEE-nger (one who can sing) and who among them is a SEE-ntunado (one who cannot sing or tone deaf). To help the guest star make the cut, a group of SING-vestigators composed of Angeline Quinto, Alex Gonzaga, Kean Cipriano, Wacky Kiray and Andrew E comment and give their opinions every round.


For the first round called Stop, LOOKs and Listen, the guest star must eliminate one secret songer based on how he or she looks. To help the guest star decide, a video profile showing the lives of the secret songers plus a very quick preview of their actual singing voice will also be played.

At the end of the round, the eliminated secret songer must step on the Stage of Truth and sing live to reveal if he or she is a SEE-nger or a SEE-ntunado. The eliminated secret songer will receive a consolation prize of P5,000.

The game gets tougher in the second round called The Voice is SYNCHING, where the five remaining secret songers must lipsynch a song. If the secret songer is a SEE-nger, he/she will lipsynch to his/her own voice and if he/she is a SEE-ntunado, he/she will sing along to someone else’s voice. Two contestants must bid goodbye at the end of the round and will receive P10,000 each.

In the final round called I Like to PROVE it, PROVE it, the last three secret songers will have their last chance to convince the guest star to pick them as the winner. Each one will present a piece of evidence, such as a photograph or a medal, to prove that they can really sing.

The guest star again picks two contestant to eliminate, who will go home with P15,000 each. The last secret songer standing will be named the winner, get P25,000 cash, and sing a duet with the guest star. If the winner is a SEE-nger, he or she will automatically get to compete in “It’s Showtime’s” “Tawag ng Tanghalan.”

This week, Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano and Broadway Diva Lea Salonga try their luck at guessing who the SEE-nger is.

“I Can See Your Voice” is the first Korean game format localized by ABS-CBN. The show is a big hit in Korea and has been distributed in many countries worldwide.

Don’t miss the premiere of “I Can See Your Voice” this Saturday and Sunday (Sep 16 and 17), 9:30 PM in ABS-CBN.

How will the CHR budget cut affect ordinary Filipinos?

MANILA, Philippines - The decision of the House of Representatives to allocate a P1,000-budget for the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) in 2018 quickly received tirades and criticism from netizens and even Senators.

A total of 119 lawmakers voted in favor of the P1,000 budget as 1SAGIP Party-list Rodante Marcoleta accused the CHR of "not upholding the human rights of everyone” and for allegedly not acting on cases against criminals.

Marcoleta added that there was no legal basis for the creation of the CHR which was established through the 1987 Constitution under former President Corazon Aquino.

What protection does CHR give?

Given a budget that couldn’t even afford to buy an ordinary smartphone, the CHR will certainly have difficulties and eventually cease functioning. But what protection does the CHR give us? Does it only protect criminals from prosecution? Do ordinary citizens benefit from the CHR?

While the CHR is mandated by law to primarily act on violations by state agents or private individuals upon the order of government authorities such private armies, the Commission is also tasked to ensure that the government will protect the human rights of all Filipinos.

In fact, the agency, regarded as the country’s primary protector of human rights, is expected to protect rights that help ordinary Filipinos live freely. Some of these rights include right to equality; right to life, liberty and personal security; as well as right to free movement in and out of the country.

Hope in the Senate

On Wednesday, September 13, several members of the Senate vowed to restore the agency’s budget.

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, a sponsor of the CHR budget in the Senate said in a text message: "Of course we will stand our ground on this matter and more. Once we get hold of the House version of the General Appropriations Bill, we will scrutinize it as we always do year in and year out.”

On Twitter, Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero wrote: “The CHR is a constitutional imperative and necessity, however inconvenient it may be for some… I will fight to restore its budget.”

“CHR is a necessity, the Constitution mandates it. Functions as a guardian against abuse of those in authority,” Senator JV Ejercito tweeted.

Where will the funds go?

With a huge slash on the budget of the CHR and the retention of the national budget at P3.76 trillion, Sen. Lacson can’t help but question where the House realigned the slashed funds.

Lacson said: “P678-million CHR budget reduced to P1,000 but House version of 2018 national budget stays at P3.767 trillion. It's interesting to find out how the P677 million was chopped.”
