Kapamilya Deal or No Deal Airs Finale on September 28; Korina Sanchez Intimidates Banker

Broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez takes on a different challenge in her career this Saturday (Sep 28) when she faces The Banker and deals her way in the grand finale of ABS-CBN’s hit game show “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal.”

Viewers are about to witness another tension-filled and exciting episode with the feisty and fearless Korina intimidating the Banker with her side comments and the Banker giving her a hard time with his offers.

“Oh my God! Ang masasabi ko lang, it’s historic! It’s historic! I think it’s the first in the history of ‘Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal,’ so kailangan talaga panoorin nila!” Korina quipped in an interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com after the taping.

If ever Korina wins the jackpot, she will be the 5th millionaire this season.

Just like regular studio players whose lives were changed by “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal,” host Luis Manzano said hosting the show was also a life-changing deal as it truly defined his hosting career.

“It was my first game show to host solo, so it was truly a memorable experience for me. The fact that they trusted me with a big show was a big deal for a host like me. I can say after more than a year on air, I have learned so much(,) from the contestants, staff, and everyone else,” shared Luis.

“Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” is considered to be one of the most successful game show adaptations on Philippine television especially after it aired four seasons since 2006, with the recent and 4th installment hosted by Luis, airing for more than a year and a half.

“We are very happy that for the first time, the show aired for more than a year.  I had very big shoes to fill and I was nervous doing the project, but the fact that we aired longer than expected means we did something right,” said Luis.

When asked what he will miss about the show, Luis said “I will definitely miss the energy, the tension, the banker’s voice, and the total cluelessness of the amount when the briefcases are being opened plus everyone who was part of the show.”

ABS-CBN, Philippine Leader in Adapting Global TV Formats

ABS-CBN Corporation, the Philippines’ largest and leading conglomerate, has successfully launched the local versions of three global TV formats, Shine International’s “MasterChef” and “Minute to Win It,” and Endemol’s “Deal or No Deal.”

“MasterChef Pinoy Edition,” hosted by award-winning actress Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, started airing in November 2012 in the channel’s morning timeslot to consistently high ratings. ABS-CBN gave the hit cooking reality show a Filipino flavor by dubbing it a kusina serye (kitchen series) highlighting the real-life struggles and triumphs of the aspiring cooks who come from different generations, places, and economic backgrounds.

The kusina serye runs back-to-back with widely popular game show “Minute to Win,” solidifying the viewership of ABS-CBN’s morning block. “Minute to Win It,” hosted by actor-VJ Luis Manzano, came out in mid-January and has regularly placed on the list of the top 10 most-watched weekday programs in the Philippines. The show has triggered a wave of excitement among audiences who root for players carrying out misleadingly easy challenges. Its first weeks have also had the country’s most popular celebrities play and will soon feature regular contestants from the tryouts.

This Philippines’ highest rating game show in 2012 was also a hit franchise produced by ABS-CBN. The fourth season of “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal,” which banks on host Luis Manzano’s fresh hosting style and engaging interaction with players, ended up as last year’s top 8th most watched program in urban and rural homes nationwide, with a national TV rating of 25%, based on data from Kantar Media. Launched on Philippine TV in 2006, “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” has set itself apart from the other versions of Endemol format because of its unique elements such as the dancing 24K girls, the signature hand gestures signifying ‘deal’ and ‘no deal,’ and an energetic and interactive audience. The program was so outstanding that it was chosen as one of the only three countries to be part of USA’s “Deal or No Deal – Around the World” edition in 2008.

This year, meanwhile, ABS-CBN is set to release local versions of hit reality shows to give Filipinos a platform to reach their dreams. ABS-CBN continues to discover world-class acts in the fourth season of Fremantle’s “Pilipinas Got Talent,” which is set to debut early this year. Production is also underway for “The Biggest Loser Doubles,” to be hosted by acclaimed actress Iza Calzado, the second local edition of the Shine International format. Nationwide auditions, meanwhile, have already begun for the Philippine debut of singing competition “The Voice of the Philippines,” licensed by Talpa Media Group. In the next few weeks, ABS-CBN will announce the judges for its first season.
