Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (also known as WW2BAM) is a Filipino game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The main goal of the game is to win 2 million Philippine pesos (earlier 1 million) by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. There are four lifelines: 50:50 (fifty-fifty), Phone-a-Friend, People Speak, and Switch. The latter two replaced Ask the Audience, which was used until the 2010 seasons.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was broadcast from 2000 to 2002 on the government-sequestered Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, produced by Viva Television [1][2], and was hosted by actor Christopher de Leon.
On May 23, 2009, the game show returned under a new home over TV5[3], with actor-host-comedian Vic Sotto as the new host.[4][5]
[edit] 2009-present: TV5 Version
On April 2009, plugs about the "comeback" of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? started airing on TV5 (Associated Broadcasting Company, and is the first show taken from IBC 13). Vic Sotto was also announced to host the show. A promo is being sponsored by the network in connection to its comeback.[6]
