Protégé is a Philippine over-all talent competition airing on GMA Network. The program seeks to discover new celebrities in the country through a series of nationwide auditions. The Filipino public votes for the outcomes of the later stages through text voting and half of the results are from the judges. The judges give critiques not only of the contestants performances depending but also to their respective mentors on the challenges that are being given to them.
The result reveals right after the performance. The first two results nights during season 1 were shown one hour after the performance of the finalists. The judges, on the other hand, are happy that their opinions matter in this contest, since the results do not depend solely on text votes.
Protégé sets quite a difference in the usual reality television series as it has a different opening billboard every week; and also the first Philippine television show to have a webisode.
The current winners of the show are Jeric Gonzales and Thea Tolentino, who are both from Calamba, Laguna. Jolina Magdangal and Gina Alajar, the mentors of Gonzales and Tolentino, respectively, also won. They were proclaimed as the winners on October 21, 2012.
Judges Joey and Bert de Leon started to become a judge since the Face Off round of season one. Mr. Homer Flores was also a judge in the Face Off round during season one with the de Leons. Judge Louie Ocampo started his judging stint since the first gala night of season one replacing Mr. Flores as judge Ocampo was the original judge. Ms. Eula Valdez, on the other hand, started as a guest judge during fourth gala night and eventually, became a regular judge as she attended all the following remaining gala nights. During season 2, Joey and Bert de Leon came back as judges; together with them is the GMA Films president, Atty. Annette Gozon-Abrogar and the season one guest judge, Ms. Cherie Gil.
