''IKON Philippines'' is a
reality singing competition which searches for a champion among existing or established artistes rather than among new, unknown starlets as in other such singing competitions. The programme was co-launched with
IKON Indonesia and
IKON Malaysia in late 2006 as an initiative to search for an artiste who can represent the country in the regional (
ASEAN) level. The verdict is determined by 70% of jury marks and 30% SMS.
Ikon Philippines began its run on
Le Pavilion in June 2007, and is hosted by
Asia Agcaoili.
The final stage was held on 5 August 2007.
Vina Morales is the Philippine Representative for Solo Category and
Kjwan for Group Category
On August 5, 2007, both Vina Morales
and Kjwan won the First Ikon Asean in their respective categories.
Vina Morales sang "
Pangako Sa 'Yo" (A Promise to You), the theme song of the popular drama series of the same name in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, and "Feels so Nice".
Kjwan sang "Invitation" and "One Look".
