Sarah Geronimo confirmed that she had a hard time working as a coach during the first season, but she confirmed that she was still willing to work as a coach for the second season.[3][9][10] On December 16, 2013, it was officially announced that Geronimo signed an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN for two years. Part of her contract is her stint as a coach for the second season.[11] Lea Salonga also expressed that she wanted to return as a coach for the second season. However, this will only depends with her tight schedule. "I want to do it again. I would be defending. I kind of would love to stay but then there are external forces that are no longer in my control. There's my schedule, there's a call of Broadway and there's a call of other things. It was magical the first season because all of the stars aligned perfectly," said Salonga.[12] On January 15, 2014 interview by Push, Salonga confirmed that she will come back as coach in the show. "The Voice is coming back. I mean first it's okay to announce it, I have not been given the go ahead yet to say anything yet but I am certainly coming back so my chair is going to turning again for people so I am excited," she said. Salonga also confirmed that there were rumors that apl.de.ap will not return to the show. She commented, "As for Season 2, I have no idea what the plans are for Apl if he is going to return, I hope he does because over the first season the four of us have developed a really nice rapport and banter and chemistry and it would be nice to pick up where we left off rather than start over but those things are not up to me. So I am only hoping that he returns for Season 2 if he doesn't we hope we find somebody who will be able to fit the chair and be able to keep up with us because the three of us are on, it is so on, it is just the trash talking begins."[4] It was noted that near the end of the first season, apl.de.ap along with Bamboo Mañalac had expressed their intentions to return for the second season.[13] On March 20, 2014, the Sun Star Manila confirmed through an article that all coaches will return for the second season.[14] On June 12, 2014 interview by MJ Filipe of ABS-CBN News, apl confirmed that he will return for the second season.[15]

Jam, an all-girl group created by the mentor-judges of the said singing competition. The said group reached the Live show stage, but was eliminated by the third week and came in tenth place.[157]
Several users from Facebook and Twitter were blocked by the social management team of the show after several spoilers of The Battles' winners were posted online. This incident made Salonga furious and disappointed with the incident.[158]
Joniver Robles' departure from the show
After the last episode of the Knockouts that aired last January 19, Mañalac announced that Joniver Robles was replaced by Rita Martinez after the former decided to withdraw from the show due to personal reasons. However, in a post of Robles via his Facebook account, he stressed that he never knew about his status until he saw the episode. Due to this, lots of speculations have arose online regarding Robles' removal from the show.[159] On the other hand, Salonga was asked regarding the issue but decided to not comment regarding it. She further stated that she was not the proper person to be asked since it was not her team that was being involved.[160]
