Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal, the Philippine franchise of Deal or No Deal, hosted by Pilipinas, Game KNB? host, Kris Aquino, premiered on June 5, 2006 on ABS-CBN. The grand prize is PHP2 million ($36,000.00). The game show's tagline is "Ang Kapalaran mo, Desisyon Mo" which in turn translates in English as "Your Fate is Your Decision." This is 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 two weeks on December 2005 to January 2006).
Gameplay
The Philippine version is very similar to the U.S. version of Deal or No Deal (including the logo), except for the sounds and musical scoring which were adapted from the Dutch Version
Before the game proper begins, a third party randomly places the possible amount of prize in the briefcases, which are distributed to 26 models which are called the 26K (identically dressed without wigs -- US style) who reveal the contents during the game. No one, including the host, knows what amounts are in the cases. Each contestant receives a new, randomly assigned set of cases. The prizes range in amounts from PHP1.00 to the top prize (see listing below).
After picking a case, the contestant then selects six of the remaining 25 cases, revealed one at a time. This is followed by a "phone call" by "The Banker", a mysterious figure whose face is not shown (at times a silhouette can be seen). He purportedly sits in a skybox (situated between the two audience sections) and makes an offer, via telephone to Kris (his voice is never heard) to buy the contestant's case based on the amount lower than the mean of the cash amounts still in play, and also based on the player's psychology. The player is then asked by Kris the title question: "Deal or no deal?".
-
The 26K holds the briefcases.
-
To increase the banker's offer, the briefcase that will be opened must contain a small amount.
-
In between rounds, the banker calls Kris Aquino over the telephone to reveal his offer based on the remaining amounts in the money board.
-
The family and friends are expected to help the contestant decide on what case to open and whether to Deal or not to Deal
Should the contestant refuse the offer (by stating "No deal!"), they must choose five of the remaining cases to eliminate from consideration. The Banker makes another offer, and the game continues as before. The Banker's offer may be higher or lower than the previous offer (if a top prize is eliminated, generally the offer decreases; conversely, if lower amounts are eliminated the offer increases significantly).
The contestant is shown a button to press in case the contestant takes the banker's offer. The player can just push the button to take the offer, even without saying "Deal." On the other hand, the contestant can simply close the button's cover to imply "No Deal" without actually saying the phrase.
Subsequent rounds have the contestant withdrawing five, four, three, then two cases from play, with Banker's offer appearing in between rounds; should the contestant continue to decline The Banker's offer after the two cases were picked, he/she then eliminates one case at a time (with an intervening offer from The Banker) until two cases are left. If the player rejects the final offer, they receive whatever cash amount is contained inside the case that they originally chose.
Each contestant has several supporters (usually, three or four), who sit in a special section just off stage during his/her game. As the field of briefcases dwindles, one or more of the supporters are asked to consult with the contestant and help him/her make a decision. These exchanges have become emotional, particularly when very high and very small amounts remained and The Banker offers a large cash buyout. The contestant's supporters are typically revealed on the second Bank deal.
Contestants, who joined through text messaging, are selected and screened with a series of interviews and tests, including a psychological one, before they appear on the show.

Katext, Deal or No Deal
On July 10, 2006, a text-messaging game was introduced as a new segment of the show for the viewers to participate and win cash prizes. In Katext, Deal or No Deal, there are 10 special briefcases with amounts starting from PHP5,000 ($136) to P50,000 ($1,360) , one of which is randomly selected for play. After a briefcase is chosen, 2 briefcases are randomly opened, after which the Banker makes an offer to buy the suitcase in play. Viewers can text whether they want to "Deal", signifying that they accept the banker's offer, or "No Deal", meaning they will accept whatever amount is in the suitcase. In the next episode, the suitcase is opened to reveal the amount it contains. If the amount in the suitcase is lower than the offer, one winner will be selected from those who texted "Deal", with the Banker's offer as the prize. If the amount in the suitcase is higher than the offer, one winner will be selected from those who texted "No Deal" to take home the amount in the suitcase. The winner is chosen each day from those who texted via electronic raffle.
Trivia
- Roughly two weeks after the pilot episode, the show had a very "special guest"—Representative Alfonso "Boy" Umali Jr,. of Oriental Mindoro. His game ended with him winning PHP300 ($5.40) which is the amount inside the briefcase he chose and defended all throughout the game. After the game, he promised his constituents, for whom he played the game, a thousand times that amount and commented to Kris that show is not for those who are "too brave."
- Toni Gonzaga, host of the spoof Kapamilya, Meal or No Meal which is aired in a gag-show of the same network, was the special guest in the June 29, 2006 episode.
- The June 30, 2006 episode of the show saw three records being set or broken: the first time a case containing the two million pesos was picked by a contestant, the highest potential bank offer at PHP999,000 ($17,900), and the worst loss in pesos. The contestant, Josie Cristobal, a cancer patient survivor, took the banker's offer of PHP140,000 ($2,692) "just to make sure." It turned out that the briefcase she chose did contain the top prize, making a loss of PHP1,860,000 ($35,700). Kris commented after that game that while the game may not be for those who are too brash (see above), it may not be for those who are too careful either. It was also the episode where in the last two remaining cases contained the highest and lowest amounts (PHP1.00 and PHP2,000,000.00). The contestant chose the briefcase containing PHP2,000,000 (briefcase number 18) because it was the basketball jersey number of Kris Aquino's husband James Yap. The contestant was a huge fan of the basketball star. On the other hand, the number of the briefcase containing PHP1.00 (briefcase number 14) was the birthdate of Kris Aquino.
- The June 30 incident was once again seen in the July 17 episode. The contestant's case contained the top prize, but she accepted the banker's offer of PHP124,000 ($2385), making a loss of PHP1,876,000 ($35,750). The contestant made the worst deal to date.
- The episodes aired from July 3 to 7 featured couples. But it didn't limit itself to actual husband-and-wife pairs, but a pair of persons with an existing relationship. The first and third couples featured were indeed husband-and-wife pairs while the three other couples included a pair of male fraternal twins, a seminarian and his aunt being founders of a financially-challenged foundation for disabled persons, and an engaged couple. Except for the third couple who won PHP220,000 ($4,230), none of the pairs took home a prize that exceeded PHP80,000 ($1,538). The seminarian took home PHP400 ($7.20), the lowest amount won in a Deal to date.
- The July 7 episode also saw the first two non-monetary offers from the banker: a 3-day, 3-night stay at a five-star hotel and a trip to Boracay, both "all-expenses paid." The couple would refuse each offer and later took the final banker's offer of PHP79,000 ($1,519). Despite the fact that their briefcase contained PHP300,000 ($8,160), they still got the Boracay vacation courtesy of Kris.
- On July 10, 2006, Kris commented that the contestant was able to remove completely all the low values in a full game for the first time, with 3 high values remaining. The contestant won the highest prize in a No-Deal situation (PHP200,000) to date. Coincidentally, it was in this episode when the host revealed that the winnings are subject to tax.
- For the first time, the banker offered amounts where the digits are the same. On July 12, 2006, the initial offer of the banker was PHP33,333, then it became PHP44,444, then down to PHP8,888, then up again to PHP22,222, then down again to PHP5,555, and lastly, down to PHP2,222. The banker eventually offered PHP6,000, which the contestant accepted.
- The July 14 episode featured psychic Rene Mariano playing an unlucky game. All of the values at the right side of the money board were opened until the 5th round. From the 4th to 7th round, all of the highest values each round were opened. For the first time, the banker's last four offers were lower than PHP150 (PHP80, PHP50, PHP75, & PHP100 in that order). Like Representative Umali, he defended his game to the end & won PHP75 ($0.96), the lowest ever in a no-deal situation. The psychic chose briefcase 25 because it was Jesus' birthday. This episode became controversial because the host praised the psychic's ability when he predicted that Hero Angeles, a former teen star and talent-search winner from the same network, would lose his career due to revelations in The Buzz (aired in the same network), a program which Kris co-hosts.
- The PHP1,000,000 briefcase was chosen for the first time by the contestant last July 24. However, she agreed to the banker's offer of PHP121,000 ($2327), making a loss of PHP879,000.
Parodies
- Toni Gonzaga of Gudtaym (previously aired in the same network) hosted "Kapamilya Meal or No Meal," which was a parody of the show. Filipinos from low income brackets were invited to the studio to play for the meal they wish to eat. The contestants were literally not given dinner to eat before the game. In the pilot episode, the contestant won and got to eat tuyo (dried fish). The prizes were lechon (roasted pig) with PHP6,000 ($108.00), tinolang manok (stewed chicken soup) with PHP3,000 ($54.00), adobong daga (rat stewed with soy sauce), tuyo (dried fish) and asin (salt).
- Wazzup Wazzup of Studio 23 (owned by the same network) also came up with a parody dating segment titled "Kazupista, Feel or No Feel".
- ABC 5's Wow Maling Mali, hosted by Joey de Leon, impersonating Kris Aquino, made a spoof named "Kabaranggay, Beer or No Beer", with some males as the crossdressing version of the (less than) 26K, and a go go dancing-Banker in a covered cage, offering beer in exchange with the briefcases.
Criticisms
Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist Nestor U. Torre expressed disappointment on the show because it is not "all that spellbinding and empathetic" since the briefcase a contestant has chosen would keep it to the end (contrary to some versions which exchanging briefcases is allowed). Also, he pointed out that the format of the show limited Aquino's effectivity as a host.[1]
