The Amazing Race Philippines is a Philippine reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Following the premise of other versions in the Amazing Race franchise, the show follows teams of two as they race across the Philippines. Each season is split into legs, with teams tasked to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs for being the last to arrive at designated Pit Stops. The first team to arrive at the Finish Line wins the grand prize of ₱2 million.[1]
The first season premiered on October 29, 2012, and aired every Mondays to Fridays at 9:00 PM and Saturdays at 8:30 PM (PST) on TV5 and is hosted by Derek Ramsay.[2][3]
The show is produced by the Australian production company, activeTV, which has also produced The Amazing Race Asia, The Amazing Race Australia, an Israeli version called HaMerotz LaMillion, and the Ukrainian version called Velyki Perehony.[4] It is the fifth Asia-Pacific version after The Amazing Race Asia, The Amazing Race Australia, The Amazing Race: China Rush, and The Amazing Race Vietnam.
The second season premiered on October 6, 2014, and aired daily at 9:00 PM (PST). The show ended on December 7, 2014, with an hour-long program.
