Development
On November 18, 2013, Lauren Dyogi, the franchise's business unit head, announced on Twitter that there will be a kids version of The Voice of the Philippines.[10] The franchise was launched after the success of the first season of the main version which had garnered high ratings and was trending topic online.[11][12] Auditions schedule were later announced in the same month.[10]
On March 9, 2014, the show released its first teaser.[13][14] On March 17, 2014, the production team of the program started to provide updates of the filming of the Blind auditions, posting teasers of the new improved set and chairs and of the coaches in the show's official social media accounts.[15][16] A second teaser was aired on April 2, 2014.[17] Three teasers, one for each coach, were aired on April 17, 2014.[18][19] In May, the show aired its first Blind audition teaser.[20][21]
Coaches and host
At first, there were rumors that an unnamed Filipino singer who is popular in Asia, and a Filipina singer who is known for winning an international reality singing competition will sit as coaches for this series.[6] Later on the January 15, 2014 interview by Push, Lea Salonga confirmed that she will join as one of the coaches for the inaugural season of The Voice Kids. Salonga also confirmed that there will only be three coaches in this show, and coach apl.de.ap will not be part of this version.[2] On March 7, 2014, Salonga confirmed on her Twitter that Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo Mañalac will be part of the kids version of the show.[3]
On February 10, 2014 interview of Toni Gonzaga in Banana Nite, Toni Gonzaga confirmed that she will not be hosting the kids version.[22] On March 11, 2014, a rumor was circulating online that Luis Manzano and Alex Gonzaga will be hosting the show.[23][24] By March 14, the rumor was becoming stronger as The Voice Kids team published a teaser, through the franchise's official Instagram, of an image of two silhouette individuals described as the hosts of the show. Few netizens commented that the silhouette figures highly resembled those of Luis Manzano and Alex Gonzaga.[25] On March 17, 2014, it was confirmed by the official PR website of ABS-CBN that the show will be hosted by Luis Manzano and Alex Gonzaga.[4]

The show was created after the main version garnered immense popularity and high television ratings.[1][26][27] ABS-CBN later announced that auditions will start November 2013.

The Battles
Filming began on June 23 to 25, 2014. From more than 100 kids invited to the Blind auditions only 54 artists advanced to the Battles, where each coach will pick three artists and pit them together into a battle of vocals. The winner of the battle will only be determined by his or her coach while other coaches can only provide their comments to the performances of the artists. The winner will earn a spot in the six artist-slots per team and will advance to the next round, the Sing-offs.[76]
All coaches were aided by Annie Quintos of The Company in vocally coaching the artists during the Battles.[76]
The first episode of the Battles will air on June 28, 2014,[77] while the Sing-offs' first episode will air on June 29, 2014.
