The second season of the Philippine reality singing competition The Voice Teens premiered on February 8, 2020, on ABS-CBN. Lea Salonga, Bamboo Mañalac and Sarah Geronimo returned to the show as coaches. The Voice of the Philippines coach apl.de.ap returned to the franchise after four years of hiatus, replacing Sharon Cuneta. The show is hosted by Alex Gonzaga and Luis Manzano – the two have previously worked together as hosts of the first season of The Voice Kids.
On March 21, 2020, despite having already taped its episodes prior to the community quarantine, the show suspended airing its fresh episodes as part of the network's decision to halt the airing of taped/live episodes of its shows during the Enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, as part of the country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Its timeslot was temporarily replaced by the re-run of the Kids' first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar (both Saturdays and Sundays) and sixth season of Pilipinas Got Talent (on Sundays only) until May 3, 2020, when ABS-CBN's free TV and Radio stations were forced off the air 2 days later. The season returned on June 13, 2020, via cable television.
The finale was aired on August 15 to 16, 2020. Heart Salvador of Kamp Kawayan, Cydel Gabutero of FamiLEA, Isang Manlapaz of Team Apl, and Kendra Aguirre of Team Sarah were declared as co-champions, as the finale ended up being pre-recorded instead of being staged live due to COVID-19 pandemic-induced restrictions.
Changes
Coaches' Line-up
In her column on December 19, 2019, it was confirmed that Lea Salonga will return to the show, alongside Bamboo Mañalac and Sarah Geronimo. They returned for their eighth, eighth, and seventh season of the franchise, respectively. It was also published that Apl.de.ap, one of the original coaches of The Voice of the Philippines, along with Salonga, Mañalac, and Geronimo, is set to return for his third season in the franchise, after four years of hiatus, replacing Sharon Cuneta.
Hosts
Luis Manzano returned as host while Alex Gonzaga replaced her sister, Toni Gonzaga, as host. The two have previously teamed up on the first season of The Voice Kids.
Mechanics
Several mechanics were changed since the first season. A new feature added in the Blind Auditions this season is the Block. Each coach is given two blocks to prevent one coach from getting a contestant. Also, each teams were increased to 16 members each, bringing the total of artists to 64.
Following the return of Apl.de.ap in the coaching panel, a monitor was installed on his red chair just like in the previous seasons of The Voice of the Philippines. This is to help him see the artists while performing since he is legally blind. The monitor turns on only upon pressing his button.
It was announced that the format of the live shows was supposed to change, but no further details were given. However, the Live Shows were changed to a pre-recorded work from home finale as a result of difficulties/restrictions caused the coronavirus pandemic.
Online show
The online show entitled The Voice Teens DigiTV returns with KaladKaren Davila and Jeremy Glinoga. The pair has also previously hosted the online show for the fourth season of The Voice Kids. However, the 11th and 12th episodes were aired without a live feed of DigiTV as Metro Manila was placed under a partial lockdown in order to control the spread of COVID-19.
However, when the show resumed airing following the launch of Kapamilya Channel, The Voice Teens DigiTV resumed live via Zoom.
Community quarantine suspension
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the government announced on March 12, 2020, that Metro Manila would be locked down on March 15, 2020. Due to this, the March 14 and 15 episodes aired without a live feed of The Voice Teens DigiTV, while the March 15 episode lasted for 105 minutes instead of 75.
However, when the entire Luzon was placed under an enhanced community quarantine, The Voice Teens suspended its telecast from March 21, 2020, despite taping its episodes prior to the enhanced community quarantine, in which the first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids, filled its timeslot as part of the network's ECQ Special Programming, along with sixth season of Pilipinas Got Talent (on Sundays only) until the temporary closure of ABS-CBN due to the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission on account of its franchise expiration.
