'Philippine Idol'
ABC 5, the number three broadcasting channel, which previously experimented with a beauty queen reality search show, may not have anything to match ABS-CBN's and GMA-7's gold mines for now. But it is not idly watching the competition between the two.
The network is finalizing the contract for the franchise of "American Idol." ABC 5 executives are still mum about the details. Its main come-on is the winner's shot at the "World Idol," where he or she will be competing with winners from other countries.
