Ang paborito ng mga manonood na celebrity transformation show ay bonggang-bongga ang pagbabalik! After three years, “Your Face Sounds Familiar Philippines” finally returned for Season 4, at kung akala mo same-same lang — nope, beshie, maraming bago sa hosts, stage design, at performances!

The Grand Comeback

Nag-premiere ang show noong October 6, 2025, sa Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, at iWantTFC, at agad itong trending sa social media. From the opening number pa lang, halatang miss na miss ng mga viewers ang kulitan, impersonations, at star-studded performances ng show. (ABS-CBN News)

This time, balik si Luis Manzano bilang main host, pero may fresh twist — kasama niya si Alexa Ilacad bilang co-host! Netizens called the duo “refreshing but familiar” dahil sa chemistry nila on-screen.

Judges Stay OG, No Drama Swap!

Contrary to earlier tsismis online, Vice Ganda did NOT replace Ogie Alcasid as a judge. The OG trio remains strong — Gary Valenciano, Sharon Cuneta, at Ogie Alcasid — still giving that perfect mix of insight, humor, at musical wisdom. (ABS-CBN Entertainment)

Fans on X (Twitter) even celebrated the “OG lineup comeback,” saying, “Buti di pinalitan! Classic trio na ‘yan — walang kupas.”
Isa pang netizen ang nag-post: “Mas gusto ko talaga ‘yung balance nina Sharon, Gary, at Ogie. May humor, may heart, may hugot!”

Kaya kahit maraming nag-expect ng major shakeup sa panel, the showrunners made sure to keep the magic formula that fans loved from previous seasons.

The Celebrity Line-Up

This season’s contestants are a mix of Gen Z stars, theater-trained performers, at mga comeback artists na ready magpabago ng mukha at boses!
Spotted sa premiere:

• Zephanie na ginulat ang lahat with her Adele transformation

• Jeremy Glinoga na sobrang in-character bilang Bruno Mars

• Kim Molina na naging instant meme dahil sa sobrang realistic impersonation ni Regine Velasquez

• Maris Racal, JM De Guzman, at Awra Briguela — all set to bring both birit and banat sa stage

According to insiders, expect daw na mas mahigpit ang training, mas matindi ang transformations, at mas “viral-ready” ang bawat episode. (LionhearTV)
