“Philippine Idol” Season 2 might be seen on GMA-7 . According to the the news, GMA 7 is negotiating with Freemantle to get the franchise of the Philippine Idol. It will be known this week if GMA 7 will indeed be granted the franchise.

“We’ve heard that,” confirmed Perci Intalan, ABC 5 head of creative and entertainment production. “But last week, we were still discussing with FremantleMedia (“Idol” franchise holder) … about producing not only ‘Philippine Idol,’ but also ‘Asian Idol.’”
