## History
### 2016: Pinoy Boyband Superstar and formation

In 2016, ABS-CBN announced an upcoming reality show that would feature the formation of a Pinoy Boyband, based on the television reality singing competition created by Simon Cowell. The show held auditions in eleven different locations around the Philippines as well as online and on social media. Ford Valencia, Joao Constancia, Niel Murillo, Russell Reyes, and Tristan Ramirez auditioned as solo acts, competed against other contestants, and ultimately won the competition. After winning, the members made guest appearances where they relayed their experiences during and after the competition and discussed their plans for the future, such as their debut album, singles, gigs, and tours.

### 2017: BoybandPH

After winning, BoybandPH released their winning song "We Made It," followed by the official single "Unli" in 2016 and "Somebody" (originally by Depeche Mode) in 2017. All three songs were included in their self-titled debut album BoybandPH, which was released on February 4, 2017. They were also featured on Jona's single "Til the End of Time".
