Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown is the third season of the Philippine version of the reality television series Survivor. Richard Gutierrez took over hosting duties after the show's previous host, Paolo Bediones, moved to TV5 a few months after the second season ended airing. Unlike the first two seasons, this installment would feature 18 celebrities from different fields of film, TV, sports and pop culture. Teasers of the castaways' identities were partially revealed between July and August 2010 before they were revealed on August 14, 2010.
