Semifinals
The Semifinals began on May 18, 2013, in PAGCOR Grand Theater in Parañaque, Metro Manila. For two weeks, six quarterfinalist winners per week will perform for a special spot in the six slots for the finals. The mechanics for the semifinals will be the same from the quarterfinals. However, three acts will be chosen per week, instead of the usual two — one act coming from the public's vote, and two from the judges' votes.
Also just like the quarterfinals, guests will be invited to perform in the show.

Criticism
With Roel Manlangit declared as the winner of the fourth season, many Filipino netizens were disappointed with the show for its preference with singers. The show had produced six singers (Baldivino, Pomoy, Maasinhon Trio, and Manlangit himself) for four straight seasons, all of whom were males. Many had vented their disappointments on Twitter. One shared that in order to win the show, one must be a male singer with a very sad and tragic background story. Some netizens also recommended to change the title of the show to "Pilipinas Got Singers," pertaining much to the winning streak of singers in the show.[20] [21]
Television ratings
Television ratings for the fourth season of Pilipinas Got Talent on ABS-CBN are gathered from two major sources, namely from AGB Nielsen and Kantar Media. AGB Nielsen's survey ratings are gathered from Mega Manila households, while Kantar Media's survey ratings are gathered from all over the Philippines' urban and rural households.
