Aside from being a judge, Velasquez previously told ABS-CBN News that she really wants to mentor aspiring singers.

"I wanna be honest because I want them to improve," she said, adding that she is certain to have a hard time playing her role.

"Mahirap kasi when you say 'no' to a contestant, it's like you ruining their dreams," she explained.

Dela Torre, on the other hand, said she is more than excited for the show to start because she is also a product of a singing contest.

As for Reid and Vice Ganda, both feel honored to be part of a panel that will be instrumental in fulfilling one's dream.

“Idol Philippines” is the local version of the Simon Fuller’s “Idol” franchise.
