- Pilipinas, Deal or No Deal is the Philippine franchise of Deal or No Deal, presently hosted by Cesar Montano and previously by Kris Aquino and Luis Manzano, which premiered on June 5, 2006, on ABS-CBN. The smallest prize has always been ₱1, but the grand prize has always varied; at present, the top prize is ₱1,000,000. The game show's tagline is "Ang Kapalaran mo, Desisyon Mo" which in turn translates in English as "Your Fate, [is] Your Decision." At the time of its premiere, this was the first weekday primetime game show in the Philippines since the so-called primetime game show craze died down in late 2002, with Pilipinas, Game KNB?, the last remaining show among the weekday primetime game shows, reformatted into a daytime one after a relatively brief hiatus (although it had a primetime spinoff called Pasko Na, Game KNB? for three weeks in December 2005 to January 2006). The first season of the show was supposed to be a three-month stint, to give way to another Endemol-produced program Pinoy Dream Academy, but its immense popularity caused the show to be extended to a nine-month-long season. The second season premiered in June 2007, and was supposed to end in October of the same year. Once again, the show's success amongst viewers resulted in an extended season, a new time slot, and lead programming for the evening news; the season concluded in January 2008. After a six-month hiatus, the third season of the show premiered in July 2008, and became the first to also be broadcast on TFC's North American feed. The original series of the program ended on March 27, 2009. After a nearly two-year hiatus, the show returned On February 25, 2012, with Luis Manzano as host. Original presenter Kris Aquino further elaborated that she could not host the show as she was having earlier & upcoming commitments with Kris TV & taping conflicts with Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw. Considered as a continuation of the original series, this fourth season lasted until September 28, 2013, and had noticeable changes in game play, and in scheduling, airing only on Saturdays, as opposed to weekdays like the previous three seasons. The fifth season of the show premiered on February 9, 2015, after numerous teasers hinting of the show's return, with further changes to game play (to be mentioned below). On January 25, 2016, Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal become Barangay edition. The fifth season ended on March 4, 2016. (en)
