Star Circle Quest Official website

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] History

In 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] Star Circle Teen Quest Season 1

In 2004, ABS-CBN Talent Center had already produced 11 Star Circle batches which are composed of more than 200 stars. By that year, the talent center is having its audition for Star Circle Batch 12. But after seeing the huge profits that ‘idols’ could rake in, Star Circle changed course and took its new format. 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.

From an estimated 10 thousands who auditioned, 10 lucky hopefuls made it to the Final 10 or called as the Magic Circle of 10, which is composed of Hero Angeles, Sandara Park, Joross Gamboa, Roxanne Guinoo, Melissa Ricks, Neri Naig, Errol Abalayan, Michelle Madrigal, Joseph Bitangcol and Raphael Martinez.

[edit] Trivia

  • One of the most famous quotes of SCQ was, "Are you IN or OUT"
  • In or Out was also used by the judges if the questor was IN or OUT.
  • Sandara Park had made a lot of famous achievements and audience attraction to the show. This includes The Sandara Wave and Sandara Socks
    • The Sandara Wave while saying "Mahal Ko Kayo", came from SCQ while Sandara was still auditioning, when the judges said she was IN, She cried while waving her hand and said "Mahal Ko Kayo"(This Quotation was most said by Foreign stars when they were visiting Philippines).
    • The Sandara Socks is the term used by Filipinos to describe socks that are long and colourful, which is mostly what Sandara Park wears during showdowns and intermissions.
    • Sandara Park is also the record holder of the over 1,000,000+ text votes in the history of the contests in Philippines until 2007. Her record was beaten by the Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 Big Winner, Bea Saw, after garnering 1,571,556 votes.
  • C. J. Muere (StarStruck 2005 Final Four) and Ken Punzalan (StarStruck 2005 Final 14) auditioned for the second batch of ABS-CBN's Star Circle Quest, Starstruck's rival reality talent search show. However after two audition stages, they were two of those who did not make it to the Top 60.
  • Michelle Madrigal is the daughter of former actress Karla Kalua and the younger sister of GMA talent Ehra Madrigal. She is also one of the Questors who transferred from ABS-CBN's rival station, GMA Network next to KC and Bebs Hollmann and Hero Angeles. Madrigal is now managed by Annabelle Rama.
  • Joseph Bitangcol joined the boy group Boyz.Com with Polo Ravales, Frank Garcia and Gabb Drilon as fellow members. With Polo as exclusive GMA Network talent, the group did guestings on most GMA shows, fuelling speculations that Joseph might transfer to the Kapuso Network. He is officially a freelancer as of the moment, as talent manager Manny Valera oversees his career. He is previously seen with GMA-7 program and now he return back to ABS-CBN.
  • On the night of January 29, 2005, Erich Gonzales won the title as Grand Questor of Star Circle Teen Quest Season 2 Grand Finals, the very same date her fellow Questor Denmark 'DM' Sevilla celebrates his birthday.
  • SCQ is currently re airing in Kapamilya Channel
