The second season of Pinoy Dream Academy formally began on June 14 2008. Nikki Gil and Toni Gonzaga reprise their roles as hosts of the show, but Gonzaga now handles the main hosting plum while Gil appears only on the Probation Nights. Billy Crawford has joined this season as the host of the late afternoon edition Pinoy Dream Academy Überture.[1]

A new logo is also being used for this season, having an old-fashioned microphone and the word "Dream" using a different font than the rest of the title. Also, a new version of the theme song Awit ng Pangarap sang by first season winner Yeng Constantino is being used for this season, although the original version was also used, especially during Gala Nights.

Thirty-two potential scholars for the show were introduced with their backgrounds documented in a primer segment aired as part of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus. They were also interviewed on the radio segment Pinoy Dream Academy Dream Minute on WRR 101.9. These thirty-two went through a primary elimination selection from which the final roster of scholars was chosen. These eliminations were aired as a series of episodes called The Dream BIGins from June 9 to 13, 2008.

New to this season was a "Little Dreamers" competiton for children aged 6 to 10. On July 6, 2008, twelve children were chosen to become the Academy's resident Little Scholars. [2]

Scholars

From the thirty-two potential scholars, the primary eliminations saw the number dwindle to twenty-five. From that number, the faculty re-examined the performances of the scholars to choose the final list of scholars who would enter the Academy. The final roster was announced one-by-one on the Grand Opening Night on June 14, 2008. Only fifteen were chosen and entered the Academy on that day; the sixteenth chosen scholar, Maria Consuelo Osorio, backed out of the competition and the slot left behind would be occupied by one of four "wait-listers" to be decided by viewers. The wait-lister chosen to be the new sixteenth scholar would enter the Academy the next day. That chosen waitlister was Ranjit "Jet" Singh with 51.70% of the overnight voting. The other three waitlisters Lamberto "Lambert" Reyes, Catherine "Poy" Palma, and Hera "Banig" Redoblado got 20.16%, 17.46%, and 10.68% of the votes respectively.

Organizations

Unique to the season is the division of the scholars into two groups called "organizations" (sometimes shortened to orgs). The two orgs compete against each other in inter-org games wherein members of the losing org would do the domestic chores inside the Academy, such as maintenance and cooking, while members of the winning org will not only have no chores, they will also get to assist the teachers and mentors during classes.

The orgs each have a weekly budget of P500 per member. During the gala nights, points are scored for each student as usual. Then, the scores for each of an org's members are totaled and the average is obtained. An average score of 7.5 should be obtained for the org to have a new budget for the week. The org's budget is used for any additional expenses as the Academy provides them with basic necessities every week.

Because of the odd number of initial scholars in the Academy and the subsequest decision by the last scholar to enter, there was an uneven distribution of scholars in the two orgs.

Leaders are chosen weekly, with Hansen and Ross as initial team leaders for Pupilars and One Voice, respectively.

Expulsion nights elimination chart

For this season, the voting procedure has been altered. Among the bottom four scholars, the mentors will save one. Among the remaining three scholars during the first probationary night, the other scholars will vote for who they want to save. The scholar with the highest votes from his/her peers will be saved. In case of ties, the vote of the scholar saved by the mentors will be counted twice. The last two scholars will be up for public voting, and hence be the probationary scholars of the week. By the next gala performance night, the scholar with the higher number of public votes will be saved.

From the second probationary night onwards, the procedure was again changed. This time, the other scholars would vote from among the three remaining probationary scholars who they want to be expelled from the Academy. The one with the lowest number of votes is saved from expulsion.

Template:FnbBunny and Chivas casted their votes in the hospital, where they returned after their performances in the first gala night. Since the mentors already made their decision on which scholar they would save a few hours after that show, Bunny and Chivas already knew the three remaining probationary co-scholars beforehand when they voted the next day. Chivas was sent to hospital two days before the gala night after suffering the effects of hyperventilation; his wife was by his side. Three days after the start of voting however, Chivas collapsed to the floor, again caused by hyperventilation. Concerned, the faculty decided to expel Chivas from the Academy. Laarni was then transferred to Pupilars as a result of a consequence when One Voice lost in their inter-org competition. Voting was stopped because of this and Laarni and Iñaki were therefore saved from expulsion.
Template:FnbBecause of a change of procedure, "'Saved' by Scholars" means that the probationary scholar who got the lowest number of votes from his/her peers will be the one who will be saved from being expelled and will not be subjected to viewers votes. A day after the start of voting, Ross however decided to drop out of the the Academy due to the pressure he felt inside the Academy and his concerns for his family. His exit did not affect the voting, however.
