Coaches
In an interview on June 3, 2019, it was confirmed that Sarah Geronimo will return as a coach for the fourth season, replacing Sharon Cuneta who left the show to focus on her other projects. In her post in early July 2019, Lea Salonga confirmed herself that she will return to the show for her fourth season (her overall seventh season in all Philippine versions of The Voice). Bamboo Mañalac will also return to the show as well.

Companion show
An online show, called The Voice Kids DigiTV, airs together with the main program on The Voice of the Philippines Facebook and YouTube accounts; it is hosted by comedian impersonator Jervi Li, commonly known as KaladKaren Davila and Jeremy Glinoga of the first season of The Voice Teens. Every episode, a guest co-host is invited more particularly those previous contestants of the previous seasons such as Lyca Gairanod and Elha Nympha.

Mechanics
In a report on TV Patrol last July 4, 2019, each coach has the power to decide their team sizes, making the first season of the Philippine version to have such change (with the first six versions having team limits). Alongside this new change is the addition of "steals", making the third kids version around the world to adopt this rule (the first one was on the fifth season of the Vietnamese version and the second one was on the fifth season of the German version).
