 POTATO ON THE GO FEATURE (TV):

In early 2000, GMA made a phenomenon by introducing reality shows in Philippine TV programming.  After Extra Challenge and Starstruck, the rest, as they say is history.  Then networks began franchising foreign reality programs such as Big Brother, Survivor, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Project Runway and Fear Factor, among many others.

But while foreign franchise continues to give networks stable results in terms of ratings and income, GMA Network once again gambled to come up with its own via Protege: The Battle for the Big Break.  But now, the reality singing search is transformed into an artista search. So after the success of Starstruck and Protege, here comes Protege: The Battle for the Big Artista Break.
