History[edit]
2016: Pinoy Boyband Superstar and Formation[edit]
In 2016 ABS-CBN announced an upcoming reality show that will feature
the making of a Pinoy Boyband, based on the television reality singing
competition created by Simon Cowell.[23] The show opened auditions in
eleven different locations around the Philippines as well as Online and on
Social Media. From here hopefuls Ford Valencia, Joao Constancia, Niel
Murillo, Russell Reyes and Tristan Ramirez auditioned as solo acts and
competed against other contestants coming from different parts of the
Philippines as well as overseas. During the Judges Audition they had to
charm their way through the audience, and get scored based on their
charisma and charm, before they could perform in front of the judges.
Ford Valencia garnered a score of 83% and performed John Legend's hit
"All of Me". Joao Constancia garnered a score of 94% from the audience
and performed Adam Sandler's "Grow Old With You". Niel Murillo
garnered a score of 96% and performed "Mahal na Mahal" by Sam
Concepcion making him an instant fan favorite. His audition clip
on YouTube gained the most views out of all the auditionees. Russell
Reyes garnered a score of 80% and performed a soulful rendition
of Stevie Wonder's "Lately". Tristan Ramirez got a score of 90% from the
audience and performed "Ikaw lang ang Aking Mahal" by Brownman
Revival.[24][25][26] During the Middle Rounds the 40 contestants that
passed the audition was cut down into 25. From there they were
segregated into five different groups which were tasked to perform
different genres of music. Before the deliberation and announcement of
the groups, Russell Reyes along with two other contestants who had a
hard time speaking the local language were asked to sing a Tagalog song
to prove themselves worthy of a spot. Russell Reyes performed his
version of "Kung ako Nalang Sana" wherein the judges were impressed.
[27] After the performance of the five groups, the Top 12 that would be
performing for the live shows were chosen. Joao Constancia was the very
first to be called gaining the highest audience votes, followed by Niel
Murillo who came in third. The rest was called based on the judges
choices.[28]
During the live shows, the Top 12 battled it out by performing in groups,
while a contestant gets eliminated every week. During the First week
Ford Valencia and Joao Constancia were part of the same group wherein
they came out on top being the first Best Group of the live shows.
[29] During the 4th week Niel Murillo, Ford Valencia and Russell Reyes
were grouped together. They performed All-4-One's "I Swear", and
received a standing ovation from the judges. Judge Vice Ganda stated
that all three of them deserves a spot in the final Boyband due to how
well they performed.[30] On the final week of the competition only 7
contestants remained. They performed as a group but were judged as
individuals. At the end of the first episode with the combined Judges and
Fan Votes Niel Murillo was named the first member of the Band garnering
a score of 98.63%.[31] For the second night of performance, votes
reverted to zero and the remaining contestants performed individually. At
the end of the competition Russell Reyes, Ford Valencia, Tristan Ramirez
and Joao Constancia joined Niel Murillo forming BoybandPH. They
performed their winning single titled "We Made It" in front of the audience
and judges singing about making it despite the hurdles they had in their
journey.[32]
Right after winning, the boys attended different guestings wherein they
were able to relay their experiences during and after the competition and
their plans for the future such as their debut album, singles, gigs and
tours.[33][34]

2017: BoybandPH[edit]
Immediately after the win, BoybandPH released their winning song "We
Made It" followed by the official single "Unli" in 2016 and "Somebody" a
cover of Depeche Mode in 2017. All three songs are included in their self-
titled debut album BoybandPH released on February 4, 2017. They were
