‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ Returns on TV5
The millionaire fever is back. Beginning on May 15, Sunday, the world’s most popular game show is taking the Philippines by storm once more. Hosted by Bossing of Game Shows, Mr. Vic Sotto, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” kicks off its sixth season loaded with exciting additional lifelines, updated set technology and the chance for a lucky player to become 2 million pesos richer.
“As we enter our new season, we promise the viewers that we double the fun, excitement and tension in the sixth season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” That’s our final answer,” said Vic Sotto. To date, the game show has already given away more than P13 million in total prizes in its five-season run.
For the initial episodes of the all-new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” smart kids could be a few questions away to become young millionaires as the tension-filled game show features honor students recommended by their schools to get this once-in-a-lifetime chance to win P2 million. On top of the jackpot that will be split to the kid player and his/her respective school, win or lose, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” will award all the kid players college scholarships.
The overnight-millionaire dream is alive once again as Filipinos take their chance to defy the pressure from the hot seat for P2 million jackpot. To help the player along the way, the hot seat contestant can use lifelines available. Aside from pre-existing 50-50 and Phone-A-Friend lifelines, the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” introduces added lifelines that will make the game even more exciting: People Speak and Switch. Through People Speak, the studio audience who answers correctly will have the chance to win up to P20,000. The Switch lifeline, meanwhile, entitles the contestant to switch out the original question for another question of the same value.
The game show that pioneered the craze over game shows on Philippine TV returned in May 2009 via its new home TV5. For the last decade since its debut in the UK in 1998, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” has dominated the ratings game around the globe with international versions spawning in over a hundred countries, including its top-rating Philippine version.
While the elimination of players in the past was through Fastest Finger First round done in the studio, hot seat hopefuls this time will be selected through mall auditions. To register in the mall editions, text MILLION (space) Name/Age/Gender/Address to 2256 (Example: MILLION Mark Sy/21/M/12 Leo St., Quezon City). Each text costs P2.50 for Smart and Globe subscribers, and P2.00 for Sun Cellular subscribers.
TV5’s version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” has recorded a first in local franchise history after Ms. Sharon Cuneta won the P2 million-peso jackpot for the benefit of the children at Hospicio de San Jose last January 9, 2010. Some celebrities including Ms. Coney Reyes, Arnel Ignacio, Efren Peñaflorida, Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez have also played and won for their chosen charities.
Don’t miss the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” starting on May 15, Sunday, 7:30pm after Magic Bagsik on TV5.

This means ayon sa comment mo isa kang KAPATID/NON-BITTER?
@JR
Hindi ako kapuso. Hindi din ako against sa mga artist ng ABS. Disagree lang ako s management ng ABS. Before Lopez ang majority holder ng shares ng Meralco, so may control sila. Totoo naman n brown out nung pilot ng Dyesebel. Lopez din may ari ng cable provider, kaya pwede nila disrupt yung signal ng channel.
@ Floyd, gawa-gawa ka pa ng kwento samantalagng walang tigil ang pamimigay ng libreng TV, noddles, sardinas, etc ng GMEEW dito sa Visayas para maging suhol.
no comment!
@7
agree ako s brown out kapag pilot episode ng shows s GMA. Pati brown out s cable, ginagawa yan ng abs cbn.
Nung 25th aniversary ng Eat Bulaga, brown out sa cable. Nung pilot episode ng Dyesebel brown out meralco (that time lopez pa) tsaka s ibang province.
Hindi patas lumaban ABS. Palibhasa controlado nila cable. Buti binili n ni MVP 40% ng meralco pra n rin mtigil pananabotahe ng ABS.
Hindi nman alam ng kapamilya yan.

mga taga abs cbn mga epal mga bubu, out of this world ang comment
reasons why abs-cbn is the no.1 station:
(based on research)
1. abs-cbn is the largest network in the philippines
2. it is a member of one of the largest group of companies in the philippines (lopezes group of companies)
3. it is the most diversified network, maraming subsidiaries
4. enlisted sa 30 blue chip stocks ang abs, gma mataggal ng tanggal, 2008 pa (ito lng naman ang isa na basehan ng state of economy ng bansa)
5. mas mahal ang stock ng abs kysa sa gma, 41.2 against 6.8 (ang layo ha, pang bargain nlng ata ang stock ng latter)
6. more than twice mas malaki ang revenue ng abs kysa gma, 32Bil against 14.3Bil
7. mas malaki ang net worth ng abs kysa gma, 3.2Bil against 2.8Bil
8. mas malaki pa nga ang liabilities ng abs kysa total asset ng gma, isang indikasyon na pinagkakatiwalaan ang abs na umutang dahil sa kakayahan nitong magmabayad (kng may utang man ang abs na malaki, gagamitin yon sa expansion — kaya taposin na ang issue tungkol dito, hindi naman ito pinuproblema ng mga inutangan ng abs)
9. mas mahal ang ad minuts ng abs kysa gma, pro mas marami parin ang commercials na natatanggap ng abs (halos lahat na kinukuhang endorsers, mga abs stars pa)
10. abs lng ang pinakahanda sa digital tv format switching, in fact hinihintay nlng ng abs ang cue ng NTC pra cla makapagsimula sa bagong format (GMA hinarangan pa ang abs, palibhasa takot dahil di pa handa)
11.wagi parati sa takilya, movies at music recordings tinatangkilik at pinagkakatiwalaan. parating block buster ang movies, sold out ang concerts etc.
12. de kalidad ang shows at programs
13. sikat na sikat ang stars kahit saang panig ng bansa
14. mas penetrated anf tfc, pinoy tv halos libre nlng pro binabasura nlng dahit na nkakasukang shows
15. pinag-uusapan kahit saan pati na sa internet, trending pa
16. maraming awards mapa pinas man o labas ng bansa
17. never nagyabang sa ratings, hindi inuulit kng nag aanounce man sa tv (di tulad ng gam na inuulit tlaga kahit d naman totoo at kapanipaniwla)
18. pra sa abs, hindi cla ang no. 1 kudi lahat ng kapamilya
19. hindi nagyabang sa tulong na inaabot
20. higit sa lahat, ang minention ko sa taas ay never ipagyabang ng abs, tao na nagsasabi na sila ang no.1)
so ano masasabi ng mga kapuso ngayon?
so…..
Poor Dolphy must watch this…
