A new group of talented kiddie performers will undergo cute transformations and bring world-class family entertainment to viewers every weekend as the newest season of “Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids” begins on May 5 and 6 on ABS-CBN.
This summer, ten bright Kapamilya child stars who come from different fields will pull out all the stops to transform themselves into local and international music icons.
Ready to showcase his performing prowess is “Anghel ng Masa” Marco Masa, who starred in values-oriented primetime teleseryes “Nathaniel” and “My Super D” before dabbling in comedy via “Goin’ Bulilit.”
From the same kiddie gag show comes current cast member, “Bulilit Kikay” Chun-Sa, who first appeared on television and became popular for her impersonation of Maja Salvador in “It’s Showtime’s” “Mini Me” competition.
Impersonation is also not new to “Bibong Astig” Onyok Pineda, who rose to fame when he impersonated rock icon Bamboo in “Mini Me,” before becoming a household name for his performances in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” and the movie “Ang Panday.”
“Kiddie Kontesera” Esang De Torres, meanwhile, will use her experience in singing contests, notably “The Voice Kids” and “Mini Me,” as well as her stints in famous musicals such as “Les Miserables” and “Matilda the Musical” to give herself an edge in the competition.
“Inday Wonder” Sheena Belarmino is also a singing pro who has proven her voice in many singing competitions, including “Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids,” where she was named one of the grand finalists.
“Precious Darling” Krystal Brimner can hold her own both on stage and on-cam, proving her talent when she starred in the 2016 local production of the musical “Annie” and won the Best Child Performer award at the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival for “Honor Thy Father.”
The multi-instrumentalist and former “The Voice Kids” contestant Noel Comia Jr. or “Poging Lodi” is also in a league of his own as he has already starred in several theatrical productions, won three Aliw Awards, and bagged Cinemalaya Awards’ Best Actor trophy – the youngest actor ever to have done so – for the film “Kiko Boksingero.”
The “Bigshot Trio” of online sensations Francis Concepcion, Mackie Empuerto, and Keifer Sanchez or TNT Boys are also joining the program to show they mean serious business, determined to follow up their viral vocal showdowns, more recently in “Little Big Shots UK,” with more breathtaking transformations.
All of the kiddie performers will be guided by new celebrity mentors – Jed Madela for singing and Nyoy Volante for movement – who will devise creative training techniques and incorporate them in activities such as swimming and running.
Returning to the program are host Billy Crawford and jurors Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano, Multiplatinum Singer and Songwriter Ogie Alcasid, and Megastar Sharon Cuneta, who will comment on and rank the kiddie performers’ performances.
Just like in the past seasons, the competition will pit the kiddie performers against each other but no one will be eliminated. In every episode, the kid who gets the highest number of points from the jurors will take home the cash prize, half of which will be given to their chosen charity.

World-class family entertainment, hatid ng bagong kiddie performers ng “Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids”
Bagong barkada ng talented kiddie performers ang dadaan sa cute transformations kada weekend upang magbigay ng world-class family entertainment ngayong summer sa bagong season ng “Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids.”
Simula Mayo 5 at 6, level up ang performances at kulitan ng sampung Kapamilya child stars na nagmula sa iba’t ibang larangan ng industriya at ita-transform ang kanilang itsura, galaw, at boses bilang local at international music icons.
Una na riyan ang “Anghel ng Masa” na si Marco Masa, na bago nagpatawa sa telebisyon sa “Goin’ Bulilit” ay nakilala bilang bida ng values-oriented primetime teleseryes na “Nathaniel” at “My Super D.”
Bida rin sa naturang sitcom ang “Bulilit Kikay” na si Chun-Sa, na unang nagpasikat at nakilala ng mga manonood sa kanyang panggagaya kay Maja Salvador sa “Mini Me” ng “It’s Showtime.”
Hindi rin bago sa “Bibong Astig” na si Onyok Pineda ang panggagaya dahil bago pa man umarte sa “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” at pelikulang “Ang Panday,” ginaya na niya ang idolong si Bamboo sa “Mini Me.”
Samantala, gagamitin ng “Kiddie Kontesera” na si Esang De Torres ang kanyang karanasan sa mga singing contest na “The Voice Kids” at “Mini Me,” pati na pagbibida sa mga international musical gaya ng “Les Miserables” at “Matilda the Musical” upang pagtagumpayan ang laban kada linggo.
Sanay naman sa standing ovation ang “Inday Wonder” na si Sheena Belarmino na hinasa ng mga patimpalak sa biritan, kabilang na ang “Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids,” kung saan hinirang siya bilang isa sa grand finalists.
Parehong entablado at on-cam performing naman ang hilig ng “Precious Darling” na si Krystal Brimner, na siyang bumida sa 2016 local production ng sikat na musical na “Annie” at tinanghal na Best Child Performer sa 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival para sa “Honor Thy Father.”
Award-winning at multi-instrumentalist naman ang “Poging Lodi” na si Noel Comia Jr., na bukod sa agaw-pansing performances sa “The Voice Kids” ay nakapagtanghal na sa higit sa sampung plays, nagwagi na ng tatlong Aliw Awards, at siyang pinakabatang aktor na nagwagi ng Best Actor trophy sa Cinemalaya Awards para sa “Kiko Boksingero.”
Pinagkakaguluhan naman ang online sensations at “Bigshot Trio” na sina Francis Concepcion, Mackie Empuerto, at Keifer Sanchez o pinamagatang TNT Boys. Matapos sumikat para sa kanilang makatindig balahibong singing showdowns, naging viral ulit kamakailan ang tatlo para sa kanilang performance sa “Little Big Shots UK.”
Magiging kakampi ng lahat ng kiddie performers ang bagong celebrity mentors na gagabay sa kanila upang maging ka-sound at ka-face ng music icons – si Jed Madela para sa pagkanta at si Nyoy Volante naman para sa mga kilos at galaw. Level up din maging ang trainings ng kids dahil hindi na lang ito gagawin sa studio kundi sa ibang malikhain na paraan at ihahalo sa masasayang gawain na gaya ng swimming at running.
Magdadagdag naman ng saya ang pagbabalik ng host na si Billy Crawford at ng jurors na sina Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano, Multiplatinum Singer and Songwriter na si Ogie Alcasid, at ang nag-iisang Megastar na si Sharon Cuneta, na magkokomento sa performances ng celebrity kids.
Tulad ng mga naunang season, linggo-linggong maghaharap ang kiddie performers nang walang elimination. Ang performer na makakakuha ng pinakamataas na puntos sa bawat episode ang siyang mag-uuwi ng cash prize, na ang kalahati ay mapupunta sa kanyang napiling charity.
