ABC fast tracks search for first Philippine Idol
ABC, licensee of the “American Idol” format and which will soon produce the country’s version, jump starts the search for the first Philippine Idol, with a series of Fast Tracks for prospective contestants to be held in 28 cities nationwide. For the lucky ones, the Fast Tracks will make the road for the mammoth auditions scheduled in the key cities of Manila (for Metro Manila, North and South Luzon), Davao (for Mindanao), and Cebu (for Visayas) more accessible, faster, and easier.
The Fast Tracks give interested applicants a chance to be pre-screened and to try out for the auditions proper. At the Fast Tracks, their credentials will be validated and they will perform before a set of judges. The ones who will be chosen in the Fast Tracks will be given a special VIP pass to the audition proper. It’s their ticket to the “express lane,” meaning their auditions are already scheduled and they do not have to stand up in long lines with the thousands who will try out only in the audition proper in Manila, Davao or Cebu.
Qualified Fast Trackers also win free transportation and food and lodging when they go to their main audition. The Fast Tracks are sponsored by SM supermalls, Manila Broadcasting Company, and Radio Mindanao Network.
Fast Tracks schedule in May follows: May 12 – SM Fairview (Quezon City), SM Lucena (Lucena City) and Pacific Mall (Laoag, Ilocos Norte); May 14 – CSI Mall (San Fernando, La Union), Mart One (Cagayan), CSI Mall (Dagupan, Pangasinan) and Pacific Mall (Legaspi, Albay); May 15 – SM Megamall and SM Pampanga (San Fernando); May 17 – SM Bacoor (Cavite; May 18 – SM Dasmarinas (Cavite); May 19 – SM Bicutan (Paranaque); May 26 – SM Baguio; May 27 – SM South Mall (Las Pinas and SM Sta. Mesa); May 30 – SM Valenzuela.
June Fast Tracks will be announced over RMN and MBC radio stations.
