TNT is bringing Filipino singers together through SAYAOKE, a nationwide online karaoke competition that will connect aspiring performers from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao through live, real-time singing battles powered by TNT 5G.
Designed to show how connectivity can enable shared experiences across distances, SAYAOKE will take contestants from online auditions to a series of weekly live showdowns streamed on TikTok Live. The format gives aspiring singers around the country a way to showcase their talent while allowing audiences to follow and participate in the competition in real time.
“Connectivity is an important part of how Filipinos experience entertainment, pursue their passions, and connect with one another,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, FVP and OIC at Smart Communications, Inc.
“With SAYAOKE, we are bringing this to life through a nationwide competition that connects aspiring singers and audiences in real time. Powered by TNT 5G, the platform gives Filipinos from across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao an opportunity to share their talent and be part of a truly connected experience.”
FROM ONLINE AUDITIONS TO TIKTOK LIVE SHOWDOWNS
Aspiring singers can create audition videos through the Vivaoke app, TNT’s official audition platform featuring Viva’s OPM music library. They can then submit their videos when they register through the TNT SAYAOKE website.
From the audition pool, 48 finalists will be selected to join an online bootcamp featuring vocal coaching and mentoring in preparation for the live competition.
The finalists will then move on to weekly live showdowns through SAYAOKE Birit Booths deployed around the country. Contestants will compete for the chance to win PHP300,000 in cash in each weekly competition.
MORE WAYS FOR FANS TO JOIN
TNT subscribers who are not competing in the weekly showdowns can still take part in SAYAOKE beyond watching the performances on TikTok Live.
Fans can load select TNT promos to earn voting credits, which they can use to support their favorite singers during the live shows. Subscribers can also look forward to opportunities to win prizes including cash, 5G smartphones, motorcycles, e-bikes, and more.

The SAYAOKE Birit Booths deployed nationwide will run on TNT 5G, supporting the real-time connection between contestants and audiences during the competition.
