Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 decided to spice up the competition by adding a twist in a form of an Honorary Scholar.

Catherine “Poy” Palma, a dreamer from Zamboanga, was called in to become part of the Academy. As an Honorary Scholar, Poy won’t have the privilege of contending for the “Grand Star Dreamer” title. Her main task inside the Academy would be to challenge the top ten official scholars and to aim for the “Star Scholar of the Week” title in order for her to earn instant P50,000. This will then be deducted from the cash prizes in store for the Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2’s finalists. Once she earn the title for three times, she will then be given a chance to choose to either take home the P150,000 or to become an official scholar for her to have the chance to aim for the Grand Star Dreamer title.
