Teams
Blind auditions
The season kicked off with the Blind Auditions on February 17, 2024. In each audition, artists perform while the coaches face away from the stage. If a coach is interested, they press a button to turn their chair. If only one coach turns, the artist automatically joins their team; if multiple turn, the artist chooses. Each coach also has two "blocks" to prevent a rival coach from recruiting a desired artist. By the end of the Blind Auditions, each coach— Nievera (MarTeam), Tandingan (Team Supreme), and Mañalac (Kamp Kawayan)— had 21 artists, with 63 contestants advancing to the Battles.
