The Voice Kids Philippines has completed its Blind Auditions and assembled three teams of nine young singers. The eighth season premiered on September 13, 2026. Following the October 25 broadcast, the competition moves toward the Knockout Round. Here is the confirmed roster, the coaching lineup and a guide to following the next stage.
The Voice Kids Philippines: coaches and hosts
Julie Anne San Jose returns as a coach alongside new coaches Yeng Constantino and Gloc-9. Dingdong Dantes is the main presenter, with Gabbi Garcia serving as journey host. GMA introduced the season and its on-screen team in its official launch coverage.
For a viewer, the coaching relationship becomes more interesting once the initial excitement of a chair turn has passed. The next questions are practical: how a mentor helps a singer choose a suitable song, how feedback changes a performance and whether a child can retain an individual style while trying something unfamiliar. Those are the elements our coverage will look for as the competition progresses.

The Voice Kids Philippines moves to the Knockout Round
GMA confirms that the next competition stage is the Knockout Round. With nine singers on each team, the completed lineup provides a clear starting point for following subsequent performances. No Knockout results or finalists are announced in this guide.
Our interest at this point is in development rather than premature rankings. An audition is one performance in one set of circumstances. A later song may expose a different strength: clear storytelling, a more controlled quiet passage or the confidence to sing without relying on volume. A memorable high note can be exciting, but it is only one part of a complete performance.
A performance to revisit from the final auditions
GMA’s October 25 highlight shows Uzziah Benedicto performing his version of Gloc-9’s “Upuan” and earning the coach’s chair turn. The official highlight offers a specific performance to revisit before the next stage.
For our viewing notes, the useful comparison will be between that first impression and the choices made with coaching. Does phrasing become clearer? Does the singer seem more comfortable with the material? These questions let a reader track progress without treating a young participant’s single difficult performance as a permanent judgment.

Our early take: what to watch for after the auditions
The Voice Kids Philippines is most rewarding when attention moves beyond the initial discovery of talent toward the work of preparing a song. The completed teams make this a useful point to join: viewers can identify each singer’s coach and follow the next performances with a shared reference point.
The challenge for the programme is to preserve individual musical personalities while building the suspense of a competition. Our early recommendation is to watch for small improvements as well as spectacular moments. A singer who communicates a lyric more naturally may have progressed substantially even if the arrangement is less dramatic than the audition.
