Search for the Star in a Million (formerly Star in a Million after two seasons) is a Philippine television program in ABS-CBN. The shows premise is almost the same to that of American Idol, although the format is derived from GMA's Search for a Star and ABS-CBN's Star in a Million.
Star in a Million is a singing contest on ABS-CBN in the Philippines. Started in 2003, the search produced some of the country's singing talents such as Erik Santos, Frenchie Dy, Marinel Santos, Sheryn Regis, OJ Mariano and Christian Bautista. The grand champion was given a contract with Star Records and a hosting stint on ASAP Mania. The most votes a contestant had was on Season 2, when Ralph David drew 1 million votes for 4 hours.
