14 - Who wants to be a millionaire?

Who wants to be a millionaire?


Right after when our basketball game finished, I and my friends went to the Auditorium to support Jemima Yucoco, Winzy Casil and Napoleon Labuson. They are the ones who represent our block.
Who wants to be a millionaire was another program that was conducted by English Resource Center Faculty. And Ms. Eliz was the one who made those questions. Speaking of questions, I don’t know but I when I saw those questions, I wanted to leave as soon as possible. Hahaha lol (I’m exaggerating)
To know more about “Who wants to be a millionaire”, let me tell you its definition. According to Wikipedia, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is also known as WW2BAM. It 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 answering 12 multiple-choice (previously 15) questions correctly. There are four lifelines: 50:50 (fifty-fifty), Phone A Friend, and Switch and Double Dip. The latter two replaced Ask the Audience, which was used until the 2010 seasons and of Phone-a-Friend until the 2012 season and reused for the 5th Incarnation replacing the People's Pick lifeline instead.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was broadcast from 2000 to 2002 on the government-sequestered Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, produced by Viva Televisionand was hosted by actor Christopher de Leon.
On May 23, 2009, the game show returned under a new home over TV5, with actor-host-comedian Vic Sotto as the new host.
The show aired its season finale on October 7, 2012 to give way to another game show hosted by Sotto, The Million Peso Money Drop (the Philippine version of The Million Pound Drop Live created by Endemol).
However, the show returned on air September 15, 2013 for a new season together with Pinoy Explorer and Wow Mali! Pa Rin in exchange to the now defunct talent show Talentadong Pinoy. This incarnation ended on January 11, 2015 in preparation for the launching of Move It: The Clash of the Street dancers on January 25, 2015.
The show returned on May 10, 2015 at 7pm, replacing Move It: The Clash of the Street dancers which held its Grand Finals two weeks before the launch of the new incarnation.”

This is a competition that you will learn a lot of things. This includes advantage for students like us. It is really helpful because through this competition our  knowledge in English would widen.
