The fourth season of Pilipinas Got Talent premiered on ABS-CBN from February 16 to June 8, 2013, replacing Sarah G. Live and was replaced by the first season of The Voice of the Philippines.

Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano returned as hosts for the season, joined once again by Freddie M. Garcia, Kris Aquino, and Ai-Ai delas Alas as the jury. Comedian Vice Ganda made a guest appearance as a judge during the 5th quarterfinals week and was later added as a permanent panelist in the following season.

This season introduced a new round, the quarterfinals, which preceded the semi-finals. Contestants selected during the Judges' Cull competed for 12 semi-final slots, which were then narrowed down to six grand finalists.

Thirteen-year-old singer Roel Manlangit from Valencia, Bukidnon, was crowned the season's winner. Cyr wheel dancer Frankendal Fabroa, 29, from Tondo, Manila, was named the runner-up, while the acoustic musician duo MP3 Band from Davao City finished in third place. This marked the fourth consecutive season where a singer emerged as the winner.

A special episode, dubbed as You Got It! Kwento Natin 'To!, highlighting the past episodes of the season, was aired on June 8, 2013.
