Star Circle Quest (SCQ) is a reality-based talent search in where at least 10 teen-aged contestants, called as "Questors", will undergo talent training, physical enhancement and different challenges to test their talent skills. Every week, one will be eliminated and the last Questor who will remain will win as the Grand Questor. Along with this, the Grand Questor will take cash prize and an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN Talent Center, now Star Magic. The show was aired locally thru ABS-CBN and internationally thru The Filipino Channel. The show was mounted to pit against GMA Network's successful realtiy star search program, Starstruck. Ironically in the same venue where Starstruck ended it's very successful 1st. season, but despite the hype SCQ never matched the hysteria brought by StarStruck.
[edit] HistoryIn October that year, ABS-CBN launched the television show Ang TV directed by Johnny Manahan, a semi-gag show that showcased the different talents of the stars of Talent Center. Ang TV became a big hit and produced many mall shows, live concerts and record albums. It became the foundation for the careers of one of today's biggest and brilliant stars like Claudine Barretto, Jolina Magdangal, Rica Peralejo, Angelu de Leon, Geoff Eigenmann, John Prats, Camille Prats, Angelica Panganiban, and many more. After 3 years of star discovery and talent training and success of Ang TV, later in November 1995, ABS-CBN launched the more mature talent search, Star Circle. Star Circle is a regular talent search wherein a group of young actors and actresses will groom to be the best and brightest stars, which comes by batches. [edit] Season Synopses

From the untelevised regular talent search, Star Circle became a reality-based talent search named as Star Circle Quest or SCQ for short. The show was then hosted by Luis Manzano and Jodi Sta. Maria, while the jury is composed of Boy Abunda, an entertainment writer, TV host and talent manager; Gloria Diaz, an actress and former beauty queen; and Lauren Dyogi, TV director and writer.
