The second season of The Amazing Race Philippines featured eleven teams of two, each in a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the Philippines. Derek Ramsay returned as the host of the show.
The show premiered on October 6, 2014. It was first aired every Monday to Friday at 7:00 p.m., and Saturday at 9:00 p.m. (PST) on TV5. During the third week, it was moved to 9:00 p.m. every Monday to Saturday. A special recap episode of those shown during the week aired every Sunday at 9:00 p.m. (PST).
Dating couple Matthew "Matt" Edwards and Phoebe Walker were the winners of the second season of The Amazing Race Philippines.
In late 2013, TV5 announced that it had renewed the show for a second season. The network had earlier announced that this season, dubbed The Amazing Race Philippines: Biyaheng Asya, would feature challenges across several Asian countries. However, this was dropped due to time and logistical constraints in order to have the show ready for an October 2014 premiere date.
Filming took place in late August 2014. Like the first season, TV5 commissioned the Australian production company, activeTV to produce the show. According to executive producer, and director, Michael McKay, this season was going to have major changes with a tweaked format and the Fast Forward task, was to be dropped. A total of 39 cameras were used to film the second season with drones filming aerial shots. This season was also the first international race to use the new title card and graphics package introduced on season 23 of the American series.
In Leg 1, judges featured in the "Priscilla, Queen of Desert" task included theatre actors Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, Michael Williams (both were starring in the actual musical), Joey Mead King, and Resorts World Manila Entertainment Head, Colin Kerr.
In Leg 2, Jodilly Pendre, from Asia's Next Top Model, was featured as the clue giver at the Makati City Go Kart challenge.
