The fifth season of Pilipinas Got Talent is a talent show on ABS-CBN. The show premiered on January 23, 2016, replacing the second season of Your Face Sounds Familiar, however, after Dance Kids ended, it was moved to an earlier timeslot to give way for I Love OPM.
The season ended on May 22, 2016 with interpretative dance duo Power Duo winning the season, the first season not won by a singing act.
During the May 17, 2015 episode of ASAP, host Luis Manzano announced that the show will return for its fifth season, following the success of the four Filipino acts who competed in the grand finals of Asia's Got Talent. Two of those acts were formerly part of the show: singer Gerphil "Fame" Flores, who competed in the first season but lost the judges' vote in the fourth semifinal week, and shadow play group El Gamma Penumbra, who competed in the third season but placed fourth in the finals. Flores placed third while El Gamma won the inaugural season of the said regional franchise of Got Talent.
Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano are set to reprise their hosting duties although the judging panel will have significant changes.Ai-Ai delas Alas and Kris Aquino will not return to the judging panel; the former due to her return to GMA Network, while the latter cited health problems and give time to her sons. ABS-CBN board member Freddie M. Garcia confirmed his return as judge for the fifth consecutive season. On January 8, 2016, a teaser during FPJ's Ang Probinsyano revealed that actress Angel Locsin will be one of the judges. On January 9, 2016, a teaser during It's Showtime revealed that actor Robin Padilla will join Garcia and Locsin in the judging panel. The next day, January 10, a teaser during ASAP revealed that comedian Vice Ganda, who filled on delas Alas' slot last season as a guest judge, will be the fourth judge for this season.
