Pinoy Dream Academy

Pinoy Dream Academy (also known as PDA) is a Philippine television reality competition show broadcast by ABS-CBN. Originally hosted by Toni Gonzaga, Nikki Gil, Sam Milby, Bianca Gonzalez and Roxanne Barcelo. it aired on the network's weekend line-up from August 27, 2006 to October 5, 2008, replacing U Can Dance and was replaced by Kahit Isang Saglit and The Singing Bee. Gonzaga, Gil and Billy Crawford serve as the final hosts.

ABS-CBN affiliate Studio 23 airs a companion program under the same title. It is a separate show from the flagship station that will feature scenes that were not shown on the main program and has different hosts.

Awit ng Pangarap ("Song of the Dream"), made during the show's first season run by contestants Yeng Constantino, Yvan Lambatan, and Kristoff Abrenica, is the main theme song of the show, although "We're All In This Together" was used earlier in the pre-season specials as the unofficial theme song of the first season. Awit ng Pangarap was officially sung by the first season's scholars (billed as the PDA All-Stars) and was used starting in the middle of the first season. A version by Constantino alone is being used for the second season.

Like the Pinoy Big Brother House, the Academy is found facing the ABS-CBN studios in Quezon City. Although it seemed that the Academy building is erected right next to the House, in reality, both the House and the Academy are actually one multi-room studio, with its interior renovated alternately according to the program.

Rooms in the Academy included the administration rooms, dance studio, and, piano room and classroom, as well as the living quarters and kitchen, all of which used to be the original area of the Pinoy Big Brother House. The entire Academy area was re-renovated as the House area for the run of the said program's second season and its succeeding editions; the Academy's rooms make a return in the second season, albeit with a different layout.

Next to the House is a large auditorium called the PDA Concert Hall where the Gala Nights are held. It is otherwise known as the PBB Eviction Hall because eviction ceremonies for Pinoy Big Brother (season 2) and Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2 also took place there.

The faculty of the Academy is composed of at least four persons specialized in music, performance arts and humanistic arts, and the media. It is led by the Headmaster, who oversees the activities inside the Academy and also teaches and guides the scholars in their growth as performers. Headmasters for Season 1 was Jim Paredes of Apo Hiking Society, while for Season 2 was Maestro Ryan Cayabyab a.k.a. Mr. C.

The contestants' life inside the Academy is chronicled on the nightly episodes from Monday to Friday. This includes the classes the students have to take and their domestic time outside of these classes.
